    andyj’s message needs to be repeated loudly and often.  Claims by those who have installed wooden floors that the installation meets the requirements of “strata” (whatever that is) on the basis of acoustic readings are groundless.  The requirement in most strata scheme by-laws (if based on the model by-laws attached to the Act) is a subjective one – i e does it or does it not cause problems for the neighbours and compromise their quiet enjoyment of their homes.  Any representations by marketers that results of acoustic testing that they may have commissioned ensure compliance with “Strata” requirements are misleading and should really come the the attention of the ACCC.
