What Does NC Stand For?
NC stands for Noise Criteria
Noise Criteria (NC) refers to a standardized system used to quantify and categorize acceptable levels of sound in various environments, particularly in architectural and acoustical design. The NC ratings provide guidelines for controlling noise pollution and ensuring optimal auditory comfort in indoor spaces. By establishing specific thresholds, NC helps designers and engineers create environments that minimize disruptive noise and enhance overall sound quality.
