In this episode, Gavin kicks off a new series on acoustical terminology by breaking down STC (Sound Transmission Class). Learn what STC really means, how it’s used in the industry, and why it doesn’t always tell the full story. Whether you're an architect, contractor, or just acoustics-curious, this episode will help you better understand how sound blocking works (and where STC falls short).
