Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, noise can lead to infections, stress, and other illnesses whereas they were able to conclude that noise pollution causes the same level of risks as any other type of pollution The behavior of an individual or of a group is heavily influenced by the surrounding environment they are in In the Philippines today, there are currently several laws that tackle excessive noise and public nuisance. Although, with the recent pandemic and work from home setups we are in right now, it is important to question whether architectural and structural designs in small spaces such as condominiums are able to support this type of lifestyle.

In this study, the researchers aim to determine the best design for a soundproofing material that will provide the Philippines with more high quality soundproofing options. In addition, this study aims to develop a modular soundproofing option that is both aesthetically pleasing and cost-efficient that will encourage privacy and sustainability for its users
