Test Your Knowledge on Sound Control-
Chance to Win $100 Amazon Gift Card

QuietRock® Sound Reducing Drywall achieves high sound attenuation and fire resistance in one panel using less space, less material and less labor than conventional alternatives. With new health and safety standards on jobsites due to COVID-19, contractors need to find a way to maintain social distancing during installation and somehow still stay on schedule. The answer is using assemblies that require less labor hours while still achieving the desired fire and acoustic results.

 

Test your knowledge on the various applications for QuietRock® and how it can help you stay on schedule. After completing the quiz, you’ll also have a chance to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

 

1. QuietRock® Sound Reducing Drywall can help:
A. Improve sound performance
B. Save time
C. Reduce materials needed
D. Save money
E. Lower labor costs
F. Increase floor space
G. All of the above
QuietRock® Sound Reducing Drywall achieves high sound attenuation and fire-resistance in one panel using less space, less material and less labor than conventional alternatives. Check out our guide,“Efficient Sound Control For Contractors,”to see why.
2. Which wall assembly is the most efficient way to achieve STC 50?
A. Multiple gypsum panels
B. Resilient channel
C. QuietRock sound reducing drywall
QuietRock® shortens installation time while achieving the same STC results as traditional methods. Less materials are required as well as fewer workers, jobsite deliveries and inspections. See how.
3. QuietRock Sound Reducing Drywall is less expensive than typical options for sound control when you consider total installed cost.
A. True
B. False
QuietRock® delivers reliable acoustic performance at a lower installed cost compared to other options.Check out how using QuietRock® means more money in your pocket.
4. When building an acoustically-rated wall be sure to use acoustical sealant around the perimeters of wall and acoustical putty on electrical outlet boxes or other penetrations to maximize acoustical performance.
A. True
B. False
Unwanted sounds can travel through flanking paths such as framing and wall penetrations affecting overall acoustic performance. These issues can be easily addressed by properly sealing the wall assemblies around the perimeter of walls and molding acoustical putty around outlet boxes and other wall penetrations. Check out our Sound Design Guide,, a comprehensive guide to sound control for building construction.
5. Steel framing can have wide ranges of acoustic performance based on mil thickness of the steel stud. Which mil thickness below will result in the highest STC performance?
A. 54 mil
B. 33 mil
C. 15 mil
Changes in metal stud thicknesses have a major effect on the sound performance of the wall. The thinner and more resilient the stud the greater is the STC performance. Like to learn more about the many factors affecting acoustic performance. Sign up for our “Sound of Silence on Steel Framing,” course on our Virtual Learning Center.
6. QuietRock® is available for the following applications:
A. New Construction and Remodels
B. Mold Sensitive Applications
