The sound of silence: Terrace TownHomes earn top scores for noise reduction

​Enjoy the Sound of Silence in Your Home​

Your home should be your private haven—not a place where noisy neighbors intrude on your peace. If you live in an attached home, that doesn’t mean you have to share every sound. At Terrace TownHomes, we understand the importance of privacy, which is why we’ve made noise reduction a priority.

What is STC and Why Does It Matter?

Sound Transmission Class (STC) measures how well walls and other partitions block sound. Acoustic experts developed the STC rating system to help homeowners understand how much noise can pass through a barrier like a wall, window, or door.

A rating of 50 is considered “good” for attached homes. But when you’re investing in your future, why settle for good?

We Build Beyond “Good Enough”

At Terrace TownHomes, we go further. Our shared walls achieve an STC rating of 60 to 64, exceeding industry standards to give you peace of mind—and quiet.

Each of our GreenSide Homes™ is built to higher standards for:

Energy efficiency

Comfort

Noise control

To maximize soundproofing, we follow the National Bureau of Standards for Noise Control, using advanced construction techniques that reduce sound transmission.

How We Block Out the Noise

Sound passes through walls when there isn’t enough mass, air, or insulation to block or absorb vibrations. That’s why we use the following enhanced construction features:

Double wall studs

Two layers of 2-inch Thermafiber® sound insulation

2-inch “H” steel studs between 1-foot gypsum panels

Dual air spaces to absorb sound vibrations

For added safety, our walls are also built to meet 2-hour fire-resistance rated standards.

Know the Real Value Behind the Walls

When touring townhomes, it’s not always obvious how well a wall blocks noise—especially if the neighbor’s unit is empty. Ask about the STC rating and what steps the builder takes to protect your privacy. Don’t find out the hard way that your new home doesn’t keep the peace.
