The technology adopted for AVS dB tyre ensures: Reduction in Pitch Noise - Softens
impact noise generated when the tyre block touches the ground; Reduction in Pumping Noise - Noise generated by air that is compressed between ground contact area and tyre grooves is softened; Continued Silence - Suppresses noise from uneven tread wear and Reduction in Road Noise - Softens noise generated when the tyre vibrates from undulations in the road surface.
A dual-rating method for evaluating
impact noise isolation of floor-ceiling assemblies.
Currently, most of sports fields are built without the use of sound insulation materials, which leads to high values of
