Hi Guys,
Architect found out that he has an acoustic rating lower than what was planned partly due to electrical outlets. The walls are closed and he is asking if he can put a small membrane of putty inside the outlet.
Is this acceptable by code and by best practise? My concern is that the capacity of the outlet will be reduced, and all the acoustic insulation I had seen was putty on the outside of the box.
What is your take on that? and is there potential problems other than the capacity of the outlet?
Thanks
