With the growth of large urban centers in Brazil, the population density and the need for housing led to high demand for semi-detached homes and apartment houses with numerous apartments, however, with the passage of time they became the result of user complaints in consequence of the low performance of the buildings. The normalization of the performance of the buildings was necessary. Several international standards address the issue, but only in 2013 was published the Brazilian standard of buildings performance NBR 15575 (ABNT, 2013), stipulating among other things, requirements for acoustic performance of internal and external walls, and slabs about the noise impact and air. However, there are some questions, such as: does the current construction typology meet these performance acoustic criteria? Are these criteria suitable? Among to answer these questions, field tests and questionnaires were performed with residents. Among the seals whose acoustic performance is required, the results show the inner walls are more distant to meet these criteria, and the external meet with difficulty, even as perceived by users. About the regulatory requirements for acoustic performance, are significant the annoyed levels generated by impact loads on slabs, highlighting the low accuracy, and even more worrying that the latter is the fact in not require acoustic performance criteria regarding the impact noise between walls, highlighted by the vast majority of respondents as the main source of noise.

In a time when high noise levels are part of people’s daily lives, the search for noise control is not only evident, but providential. Currently, noise pollution, to a worldwide level, is not more serious than air and water pollution only. In Brazil, the situation is not different because it is estimated that more than 15 million people have some kind of hearing loss degree due to this environmental problem. Acoustic devices such as panels, barriers, etc., when of high efficiency, generally, are of difficult acquisition due to high costs, turning, in many cases, their use impracticable, mainly for limited budget small-sized companies. Thus, alternative solutions, starting with new acoustic materials that are less costly and have satisfactory performance, emerge as a great option. Considering the global environmental trends, the use of vegetable fibers is a great opportunity to aggregate value, and technological development for agricultural producing countries, like Brazil. Beyond that, such fibers are easy to get, exist in abundance, are non toxic and derive from renewable sources. This work will present the methodology of development of panels made from vegetable fibers (açaí, coconut, sisal and palm) and binding agent based on acrylate and water, as well as the methodology used to characterize them acoustically on a scale model reverberant chamber, based on ISO 354/1999. These panels are made of pressed layers of fibers interspersed with layers of binding agent. The fibers are extracted, washed, dried, and treated when necessary, while the binding agent is obtained commercially. The panels sound absorption data are obtained through a four channel frequency analyzer using the noise interruption method. Comparison of results between alternative and conventional material based panels allows to the conclusion that the acoustical performance shown by some newly developed panels are very satisfactory, since their sound absorption coefficients were compatible, and in some cases, higher to those presented by conventional materials in a given frequency range. Finally, a numerical-experimental comparison is performed in order to evaluate the influence of sisal absorbing panels over the acoustics characteristics of a small classroom.
