Question 40828 — housing

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Gouffier-Cha draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition, responsible for housing, to sound insulation inside homes. Regulations for the construction of new housing impose minimum thresholds to be respected for the isolation between two dwellings as well as between common circulation and a dwelling: 53 dB when there are three doors to separate these spaces, but only 40 dB when circulation and accommodation are separated by one or two door(s) only. On the other hand, the acoustic regulations do not currently contain any requirements for sound insulation between rooms in the same dwelling (walls, dividing partitions, floors). Developers seeking to minimize costs regularly choose extremely thin partitions, which causes major usage nuisances. Residents warn of the level of sound insulation that is simply non-existent in their new apartment: television noise from one room to another, dishwasher audible throughout the apartment, etc. The lack of internal sound insulation in the home is also problematic if residents wish to telework there. The partitions between rooms are in many cases literally cardboard partitions. Mr. Deputy would like to ensure that the services of the Ministry of Housing are aware of this difficulty. He asks him if it is possible to change the regulations for the future and if discussions are underway.
