Is the soundproofing effect of a house with shear wall structure good?

Walls in a house or structure that are mainly subjected to horizontal loads and vertical loads (gravity) caused by wind loads or seismic effects, preventing structural shear (shear) damage. Also known as seismic wall, can withstand seismic loads. Generally made of reinforced concrete.

Shear wall structure load-bearing part of the reinforced concrete wall (i.e., shear wall) its own high degree of compactness, so the sound insulation effect is far better than the traditional brick wall. Shear wall structure of the inner wall of the non-load-bearing part of the autoclaved aerated concrete block, aerated concrete block itself due to the porous structure, so the sound insulation effect is also better. Handling the stubble part of the shear wall and the aerated block can ensure the sound insulation effect of the overall structure.

The upstairs also has merit, the sound insulation effect of the window is also critical to the overall sound insulation, to choose the sound insulation effect of good windows.

In summary, the shear wall structure of the sound insulation effect is better.
