Airborne sound insulation in timber houses can be very good, especially with cellulose or wood fibre. Impact sound in intermediate floors should be addressed with appropriate floor and ceiling solutions.

For houses up to around 3 storeys, timber frame is often more economical. CLT may suit load-bearing structures, hybrid solutions or where exposed solid timber walls are desired.
