Today one of the project manager came to visit my unit to have an idea of the sound coming in to my unit and he said that's normal because of the shape of the building facing the south is not aligned like the north part and all of this word that they did their test and respect all the normes de construction and acoutstic test was done with success etc... I went to visit another unit facing rocabella with him and we were able to hear the same exact noise. They said they will keep me in touch but for them nothing they can do anything about it since it's a curtain window and not like concrete wall.

 

From my side I called the city and explained a bit and they will send an inspector in a couple of days to do some test so I don't know how they will proceed with that... will keep you informed if anything happens.

Is the DECIBAL MEter in the app store accurate? Or should I buy one and do the test? what would be the average for that area ?

Hello guys,

A small update on my case after my complains to the city of montreal. They send a sound specialist to start an investigation on the sound source and they have done some decibal test last friday which was around 52DB. They definetly agree that the sound is coming from that ventilation system on the rooftop facing l'avenue. They went to bell center and asked the responsable of that ventilation system and they have coordinated with them to stop that system and run another test which was done with success yesterday afternoon. As soon as they stoped them all (6 in total) wow we can see the difference but someone from la cage au sport called and said hey turn it on because it's smelling bad here so these systems belong to la cage au sport and I am just wondering why not turning them off when you close the restaurant. Now that we know the source I will have to wait to see what the city would do with that and how bell center is going to fix that issue.

I asked them for now if they could let them know to turn it off every night before they leave so I can have a better sleep at least which they didn't do last night. The guy said it's the series now and for sure they won't start with fixing this issue until they have done with the series so let's cross the fingers. But I am still sure that those curtain wall glasses are not top quality since I am able to hear every detail happening outside beside that ventilation system. people shouting, singing a car horn and much more and the builder is still telling me we got our license from RBQ with all validation done and we respect all constructions normes and city etc....

alissone007, from your description of events it sounds (pardon the pun) as though the Centre Bell will have to modify their vent system. I'm not an HVAC expert but I assume they could install sound and wind deflector walls just like you see at airport maintenance bases.

You're not going to get the same sound proofing in a curtain wall system with openings (windows, balcony door) as you would in a building with concrete walls. I don't know if you were misinformed or made unrealistic expectations, but no matter what you will hear loud noises from outside.

If this is your first time living in a tall building, you will see that the sound echos much differently high above as opposed to on ground level. It's the same effect as being in a canyon.

Don't worry, only three more games to go.

La partie noir finit plat dans le haut, un angle comme sur les rendus aurait fait une grosse différence!

Y'ont pas fini, on voit encore le béton. Ca va être en angle.
