Based on the data of the past 10 days, the problem of high-rise noise requires a two-pronged strategy of "prevention + treatment". It is recommended to ask the developer to provide a sound insulation test report before purchasing a house, reserve 10-15% of the budget for sound insulation renovation during decoration, and establish a noise log after moving in to facilitate rights protection. With the development of new sound insulation materials, it is expected to reduce the noise of high-rise residential buildings by more than 40% in the next three years.
