THIS COURSE IS NO LONGER OFFERED.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define noise, decibel, frequency, and transmission loss and outline the difference between structure borne and airborne noise.
- Identify the correct wall assembly techniques used to treat low-, mid- and high-frequency environments.
- Define STC (Sound Transmission Class) and compare the STC levels achieved by different wall assemblies.
- Translate guidelines in relation to isolation, mass, radiation efficiency, and absorption to achieve proper design and acoustic performance.
Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.

Presenter Information
Name: Anthony “Tony” Vulpitta
Title: VP / COO , United Plastics Corporation
Background: Tony Vulpitta has an extensive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) background with over 20 years of development and real-world acoustical experience. Born in Chicago, IL, Tony has worked with numerous suppliers in the automotive, appliance, and other industries where acoustics is of paramount importance. He has managed state of the art facilities and directed the development of cutting edge technology for most of his career. He has extensive experience in the acoustical performance of materials via absorption testing, transmission loss testing as well as damping performance of single and composite type materials. In addition to the materials development and production, in depth application analysis and experience was gained designing interior sound packages for multiple OEM’s. Tony has taken this knowledge of sound control and the application of materials to the building and architectural community to assist in their understanding of a total system approach to noise problems. Absorption, damping and transmission loss all work in unison to provide the optimum performance and professionals need to understand how each of these contribute to the overall result.
