Frequently Asked Questions: Jakarta Acoustics

What acoustic standards apply in Indonesia?
Indonesia uses SNI 03-6386-2000 (Sound Insulation) and SNI 03-6197-2000 (Room Acoustics) as the primary acoustic standards. These reference international standards (ISO 717, ISO 140) and provide recommended noise criteria for various building types. While enforcement varies, green building projects under GREENSHIP require compliance with SNI acoustic criteria, and premium commercial developments typically reference international standards (ASHRAE, IEC).
Does GREENSHIP include acoustic requirements?
Yes, GREENSHIP (Green Building Council Indonesia) Interior Health and Comfort credit IHC-6 awards points for acoustic comfort. It requires: background noise levels meeting SNI criteria or ASHRAE guidelines, sound insulation between tenancies, and reverberation time for common spaces. GREENSHIP Gold and Platinum require enhanced acoustic performance with measurement verification by an accredited consultant.
What acoustic challenges are specific to Jakarta?
Jakarta-specific challenges include: extreme traffic noise (Jakarta averages 78 dB LAeq on major roads), tropical rain noise on exposed surfaces and lightweight roofs, construction noise from extensive infrastructure projects (MRT, LRT, toll roads), mosque call-to-prayer noise throughout the day (5 times daily), high humidity affecting acoustic material performance, and limited availability of tested acoustic products in the local market requiring import of specialized materials.
