Behind City’s Painful Din, Culprits High and Low
By CARA BUCKLEY
Published: July 12, 2013
Excerpt:
Alan Fierstein, a noise consultant and acoustician, gets calls from penthouse dwellers who face rooftop heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, and clients who paid huge sums for an apartment only to discover subpar windows and walls.
Luxury trends, like the installation of car elevators and rooftop decks, have worsened the angst. Mr. Fierstein has also been inundated by calls from residents of glass-skinned high-rises, who have discovered that noise from their neighbors travels vertically along glass walls. “These people pay top dollars for these apartments, but they’re noisier,” he said, adding, “The further you get from the street, the more area of the city you overlook.”
