Overview: Resilient channels were developed by USG in the 1960's as a method of improving sound isolation between rooms. Considerable field experience has produced estimated failure rates between 60-90% known to be caused by any one of 12 issues which arise during or post construction. This has been a continuing problem with this older technology. New technologies using viscoelastic constrained layer panels have been introduced to address these high failure rates. These new panels cannot fail in any of the known ways. This paper talks about the cost benefit analysis between the two methods.
