What is the name of your state? ca
(Please answer if you are aquainted with hardwood flooring testing and ISR standards)
We got approval from HOA and downstairs neighbor to put hardwood flooring. We installed premium cork and rubber acoustic underlayment. The HOA and neighbor referred an acoustic engineering firm (listed on the CCR) to do a sound test. We got a 47 on the ISR. We require a 45 by CA standards, but the HOA CCR requires 52. BUT. the Engineer (who they referred) says the ISR testing is not an accurate form of testing with several proofs, despite it being the standard in the CCR. He says the HIR is the more accurate testing and that we passed by a lot and our flooring is very adequate. They are still moving forward with litigation. Do you think the judge will take the strict opinion and make us remove it based on those few ISR points or listen to the expert on the matter?
PS We of course have area rugs now as well.
