INTRODUCTION
A study about the fast-growing issue of the students and teachers of the
SRCBAI, noise pollution. This was determined by a pre-survey of the researchers.
In this study, we conclude that most of the noises are coming from other rooms
and classes. Which is one of the main sources of the problem. We researchers gathered
data all over the internet, books from the libraries, and other research paper regarding
noise reduction particularly inside of a room. Our study focuses on modern solutions and
ways of reducing noise pollution on St. Raphael College of Business and Arts INC.
(SRCBAI).
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The transmission of sound or noise between classrooms or other places in a
school environment can be a significant concern, especially for students who need a quiet
environment to concentrate and learn efficiently. It is essential to have a peaceful
environment in school since excessive noise might negatively affect students' ability to
concentrate and study effectively. When sound or noise from other rooms or outdoors
intrudes on a classroom, it can provide distractions that disrupt students' focus and
attention.
This distraction can result in poor academic performance, poor
comprehension, and poor productivity. This issue can be caused by a variety of
circumstances, including thin walls and insufficient insulation. The purpose of this study
is to investigate the reasons of sound transmission in a school setting and to come up with
practical methods to reduce the influence of noise between classrooms. The goal of this
study is to investigate the reasons of audible sound transmission across classrooms or
other areas in a school context and to investigate practical solutions to lessen its
influence. The study's specific purpose is to find appropriate soundproofing solutions that
can be adopted to limit the transmission of audible sound or noise to the other room.
The researchers intend to concentrate on the specific issue of noise heard
in nearby rooms or spaces, which can be a severe disruption to the learning environment.
The study's goal is to provide schools with evidence-based techniques for reducing the
impact of noise pollution, resulting in a more calm and conducive learning environment
for students.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. What are the most common sources of sound transmissions between classrooms in a
school setting?
2. What are the most effective soundproofing method that can be implemented in schools
to reduce the impact of noise pollution?
2.1 How can the background noise be reduced?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is aiming on improving the sound/noise barrier across rooms in
the school of St. Raphael College of Business and Arts Inc. (SRCBAI). In this study, the
researchers will determine how the noise across rooms travel to one another. The
researchers will illustrate prototypes on how to reduce the noise pollution. Factors to the
noise pollution will be considered and discussed to reduce the problem. This study will
help students and teachers reduce hearing noise from the other room; hence, create a
more peaceful environment for learning.
The results will be important to the following:
Students: This study will help students focus more on studies; it will give them a reason
to like their surroundings more. Through this research, the students at St. Raphael
College of Business and Arts Inc. (SRCBAI) will not be disturbed by the noise from the
nearby rooms. They will also improve their learning memory because they are no longer
distracted.
Teachers: This will help teachers to teach their students better. Teachers will be more
motivated to teach when there is no noise disturbing them.
Researchers: Future researchers may benefit from this study as it needs more
improvements and a furthermore analysis of the growing issue of noise pollution.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
The researchers aim to address the rapidly growing issues regarding noise
pollution emissions. It considers aspects of the respondents’ own experience regarding
the noise pollution in this school; that they encountered inside their respective room. The
study aims to gather data on the level of noise pollution experienced by students. The
goal of this study is to investigate the reasons for audible sound transmissions across
classrooms and other areas in the school context and investigate practical solutions to
lessen its influence. The study’s specific purpose is to find appropriate soundproofing
solutions that can be adopted to limit the transmission of audible sound or noise to the
other room. The researchers intend to concentrate on providing the school with evidence-
based techniques for reducing the impact of noise pollution.
The targeted respondents to this study are the greater population of the school
staff and students. However, it limits its coverage on the 60% of the population of St.
Raphael College of Business and Arts Inc. (SRCBAI). The researchers will only be
targeting a limited number of five hundred forty (540) respondents pertaining to the
faculty members and students. There will be a total of 60% respondents in each class,
MWF schedule and TTHS schedule. This includes batch one (morning classes) and batch
two (afternoon classes) of the said schedules. The respondents in the faculty members are
a total number of XXXX, the researchers will then evaluate this on percentage, and will
only conduct survey on the greater population which is the 60% of respondents. This
research will be conducted at the main building of the St. Raphael College of Business
and Arts Inc. (SRCBAI) located at the Manuel L. Quezon Ave., Población Uno, Real,
Quezon. This study began on the 15th of February year 2023 and will end on XXXX.
After this study is completed, it will only be available for the use of the school SRCBAI
only.

REVIEW OF THE LITTERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
RELATED LITERATURE
Acoustic Insulation Characteristics and Optimal Design of Membrane-Type Metamaterials

Loaded with Asymmetric Mass Blocks
Sound insulation has been extensively researched as a key noise reduction
technique since noise pollution has long been a severe issue. Designing a thick and strong
sound insulation structure is important to efficiently block low-frequency noise. As a
result, a research focus has been established on how to achieve high-performance sound
insulation while maintaining lightweight (Zhou et al., 2019). In recent years, the
emergence of acoustic metamaterials has opened a new path for low-frequency noise
insulation (Xiao et al., 2012).
Theoretical research on calculating the transmission loss of MAMs has achieved
certain results. Zhang et al. (2012) firstly proposed an analytical model, which simplifies
the mass block into the form of additional surface density loaded on the membrane and
solves the vibration behavior of the membrane via the Galerkin method. Later, Chen et al.
(2014) proposed a point-matching method, which discretizes the force of the mass block
into a series of point forces to change the solved equation into a nonlinear form and
makes the result more accurate. By using a generalized linear eigenvalue problem to
solve the coupled system's eigenfrequency and eigenvector based on Chen's
methodology, Langfeldt et al. (2015) were able to significantly cut the calculation time
for calculating the sound transmission loss. This technique is also applicable to MAMs of
any shape and with any number of masses.

How To Soundproof a Room from The Outside Noise
According to Thomas Bruhl, most of the outside noise that’s bothering you is
what we call airborne noise. Airborne noise is created when sound travels through the air.
A good example of this is the music playing from a stereo. The sound of music basically
“floats” in the air until it reaches your ears. That’s how you can hear it. In practice, the
sound makes the air vibrate, and sound waves travel through those vibrations. Your ears
also pick those vibrations and translate them into the sound you hear. And so, the sounds
of dogs barking outside are nothing but the vibrations of the air that you hear. The same
goes for car horns, engine roar, emergency sirens, people’s conversations, music blasting
from car stereos, and almost every other sound that you hear outside. Since airborne
outside noise travels through the air, it enters the room in the same way as the air enters
it. Since these noises travel through the air, the best way to soundproof them is by putting
something in their path. First, you need to seal and block any means for the sound to get
in then, you need to limit the walls vibrations. And finally, you need to ensure that
whatever vibrations still occur do not travel from surface to surface until they reach your
room.
With these there will also be stages which you should follow to be able to
soundproof a room from the outside or nearby rooms. This is connected to our topic
because what is also being discussed here is the noise inside and outside the room, how to
realize the problem of noise that should not be heard in the other room. There are also
some steps here, how to deal with the noise problem in the other room, and there are tools
that can be used on the wall.

Assessment of noise pollution exposure to elementary students: a case in Argao,
Cebu, Philippines
According to Mary Ellen Camarilloa et. al., that noise pollution has a negative
impact on children's learning outcomes during critical developmental stages, making it a
crucial aspect of the learning environment. The study assessed schools near a national
highway in the Philippines, which exposed children to noise levels exceeding the World
Health Organization's recommended level of 35 decibels. Using a questionnaire and a
Sound Level Meter, the researchers evaluated the students' exposure to noise and
analyzed significant relationships and differences between variables using SPSS v16.0.
Noise is defined as unwanted or disturbing sound that interferes with the activities
of daily life. It can originate from a variety of sources, both natural and man-made. The
World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that background sound levels (BSL) in
classrooms should not exceed 35 decibels (dB) to ensure optimal learning conditions for
students. Excessive noise levels above 75 dB can lead to negative effects such as
irritation, aggression, and sleep disruption (Basner et al., 2014; WHO, 1999). Therefore,
noise pollution is a serious environmental concern that can impact human health and
well-being. The impact of noise on children's learning outcomes in schools is a critical
issue. According to Camarilloa et al. (2018), noise levels in some schools located near
national highways exceed the WHO's recommended level of 35 decibels, which
negatively affects students' attentiveness and well-being. Noise pollution can cause
hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, and interfere with spoken communication, as
highlighted in the WHO's Community Noise Guidelines (WHO, 1999). Furthermore,
noise can impair cognitive functions such as reading attention, problem- solving,
memory, and communication skills, resulting in decreased motivation and higher error
rates. Therefore, it is essential for school districts to consider the potential dangers of
traffic pollution and choose locations away from main roads or truck routes (EPA, 2011).
Unwanted loud noises, also known as noise pollution, plague the Philippines' learning
environments available to students. Several sound monitoring sessions conducted
recently in diverse learning environments in Northern Mindanao and Western Visayas
found that continuous and individual BSLs exceeded the permitted range, reaching levels
considered detrimental to the ear by audiologists. Scientific findings have established that
noise pollution poses threats to human health and the learner's cognitive abilities. There
had been some studies into the detrimental impact of constant environmental noise on the
environment. Despite this, there have been few reports on schoolchildren's academic
performance and achievements. Four elementary schools situated near the highway in
Argao were selected for a study on noise pollution's impact on children, as they are more
susceptible to its harmful effects and cannot control their environment. Despite the
highway's notorious status as a major contributor to noise pollution worldwide, no noise
concerns or complaints have been raised in the vicinity. The researchers aimed to
evaluate the noise levels in the area and identify their potential impact on the children
based on the presented facts and issues. The study highlights the negative impact of noise
pollution on children's learning outcomes during critical developmental stages, which
makes it an important aspect of the learning environment. The researchers evaluated the
noise levels in four selected elementary schools near a national highway in the
Philippines and found that the students were exposed to noise levels exceeding the World
Health Organization's recommended level of 35 decibels. Excessive noise levels can lead
to negative effects such as irritation, aggression, and sleep disruption, which can impair
cognitive functions such as reading attention, problem-solving, memory, and
communication skills. The study emphasizes the need for school districts to consider the
potential dangers of traffic pollution and choose locations away from main roads or truck
routes.
Turn down unwanted noise for better condo living.
(NC) If noise is keeping you awake and disrupting the peace and comfort of your
home, you're not alone. Condo and town- house living offer plenty of benefits, but
proximity can come with one big downside - noise. We've all heard horror stories about
music, television and even conversations seeping through condo walls. In fact, the second
most common cause of litigation regarding new construction is noise issues.
Fortunately, noise can easily be addressed in new construction, but most
developers design their builds to meet building code for sound attenuation and not exceed
it. That is often not enough, which is why noise issues are the reason behind many home
renovations. The National Building Code of Canada provides minimum specifications for
airborne sound insulation, which is the ability for adjoining walls to block sound trans-
mission. There was no requirement in the Building Code for sound transmission prior to
2010. Since then, a minimum STC (Sound Transmission Class) of 50 has been required.
Adjacent unit walls, floors and ceilings in multi-family buildings must have a rating of 47
STC.
Some of the floor noise in your own home can be reduced with carpeting and area
rugs, but minimum standards for the walls may not eliminate sounds from adjoining
homes. Simple soundproof ing suggestions include sealing any gaps between units, such
as those around the edges of walls, with acoustical caulking. Bookcases full of books and
paintings or wall-hangings on adjoining walls will also help to muffle noise but there are
other soundproofing options that can give you a more effective and permanent solution
for walls and ceilings. Samantha Pynn, celebrity designer, stylist and HGTV host, is
currently working on a condo that has major sound issues. "It's important to be able to
relax and shut out the rest of the world at home. Noise can affect your work and quality
of life and ability to have a good night's sleep."
Pynn has chosen to use Sonopan with NoiseStop Technology. The standard 4-by-
8 panels feature cavities with varying di- mensions and depths on each side that absorb a
wide range of frequencies and reduce the transmission of sound and vibrations.
"The panels are lightweight and simple to install behind drywall and can be
installed by either a homeowner or renovation professional. I also like that the product is
made in Canada and environ- mentally friendly because it's made from recycled wood
and are totally recyclable." Don't allow unwanted noise to disturb the tranquility of your
home. A renovation expert can use a metre to calculate the level of noise and its sources.
That test should help you decide the best solution for your noise problem.
Acoustic Insulation
ARMACELL is a manufacturer company and supplier of industrial foams and
flexible insulation materials, based in Luxembourg. In this brochure they give a lot of
information and ideas regarding to sound insulation, creating a quiet environment and
highly performance materials they recommend. Noise has become one of the greatest
environmental problems of our times. Whether at work, in public buildings or in the
home hardly anything disturbs us as much as noise. Although the acoustic insulation on
external structural elements may be good, annoying noises inside the building can greatly
impair the quality of life. It is therefore essential that noise protection measures are
consistently planned and properly carried out, both when constructing new buildings and
when modernizing existing ones.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every third European is
bothered by noise. The WHO has identified a considerable number of specific adverse
health effects caused by environmental noise. Neighbor noise is listed as the second most
frequent source of annoyance, topped only by traffic noise. Based on statistics on
populations and findings from noise annoyance surveys, it can be assumed that more than
50 million Europeans are exposed to neighbor noise that adversely affects their quality of
life. The effects can be medical conditions, but also sleep disturbance, stress, etc.
Nowadays, occupants are much more sensitive. Sounds that were not perceived as
annoying, but simply accepted in multi-family houses twenty or thirty years ago, are
today regarded as ‘unacceptable disturbance’ and lead to problems amongst the residents.
In a study carried out in the Netherlands, respondents were least tolerant of noise from
their neighbors that was audible in the bedroom at night. Almost 20 % of respondents
perceived noise from the building service equipment as being especially annoying. This
broucher brings data that will be useful in our study topic, the soundproof. It indicates the
importance of noise control. And every possible thing and factor making noises. In the
end of the broucher, ARMACELL promotes their products for its flexibility and
effectiveness. Bringing everyone a noise-free environment for their space.

Legal control of noise pollution in India: A critical evaluation
According to Mr. Ranjit Singh noise is a consequence of everything that we do. It
forms part of our everyday background and for the most part we just accept it or at least
tolerate it. Nevertheless, noise has the capacity to cause conflict between those who are
generating it and those who hear it but do not wish to. So, Noise pollutant has become a
great nuisance these days. It is spreading so fast that it has started polluting the
environment of society.
Noise and human civilization will always go together. Noise is one of the main
pollutants causing the most hazardous consequences for human life. Excessive noise is an
inescapable product of the industrial environment which is increasing very fast with the
advancement in industrialization. Noise is an unwanted, unpleasant, and annoying sound
caused by vibration of the matter. Vibrations impinge on the ear drum of a human or
animal and set up a nervous disturbance, which we call sound. When the effects of sound
are undesirable that it may be termed as "Noise." Noise from industry, traffic, homes and
recreation can cause annoyance, disturb sleep and affect health. Thus, sound is a
potentially serious pollutant and threat to environmental health.
Noise pollution is a serious threat to public health and welfare. Noise is a major
health hazard. Noise is a stressor on the human body. It causes "fight to flight" syndrome,
releasing cortical and other harmful chemicals into the water stream. Overtime, these
chemicals build up in the body, leading to a host of health problems, including
cardiovascular disease, aggression, Chronic fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure,

mental illness, and anxiety. In addition, a growing body of evidence confirms that noise
pollution has both temporary and permanent effects on the endocrine and autonomic
nervous systems. The effects of noise, its intensity and sources are shown in the
following table.
The study concluded that there are six factors which affects the continuance of
noise pollution. The first one is urbanization. Urbanization is the main factor responsible
for noise pollution. Due to rapid growth of Urbanization the problem of noise pollution
increases day by day. Due to urbanization the problem of noise pollution has emerged as
one the serious problems and it has become a serious challenge to the quality of life of
the people in most of the countries. The second factor is industrialization.
Industrialization is the major factor of noise pollution in India. Due to rapid growth in
industrialization and advancement of science and technology the problem of noise
pollution has become a serious problem and serious challenge to the quality of life of the
people in India. Growth in population is one of the reasons why noise pollution is
growing day by day in residential area. Poverty & Illiteracy are one of the factors due to
poverty and illiteracy, people are not much aware about effects & control of noise
pollution. Thus, poverty and illiteracy are a great factor which leads to noise pollution.
Non-Cooperation of Governmental Agencies may be one of the biggest reasons why
noise pollution exists.
The governmental agencies are not much aware to implement the laws to control
noise pollution. It is the duty of the law enforcing agencies to implement the law to
control noise pollution but instead of this they are not much aware about the serious
problems of noise pollution. The last factor discussed by Ranjit Singh is the Customs,
Festivals or Religious Ceremonies. Religious and social functions and other festivities
including mela's, playgrounds, political gathering, offering of Prayers, etc are the main
factors responsible for noise-pollution.
