Hello everyone,
My wife and I have been following this forum for some time and are now starting to plan the construction of our single-family home on a gentle slope.
Since we are both quite sensitive to noise, a quiet design of the building services (and soundproofing in the house in general) is very important to us.
As this topic is quite complex, the purpose of this thread is to gather advice and tips on what to pay attention to.
We have already added the following points to our list:
- Gas heating instead of an air-source heat pump
- Sound insulation for wastewater pipes
- Preferably placing the lift station in an external shaft rather than inside
- Choosing interior blocks with higher sound insulation
- Avoiding a flush floor-level shower to maintain soundproofing
- Soundproof door between basement and technical room
- Designing the mechanical ventilation system on the large side and paying attention to silencers and air outlets
- ...
Do you have any other useful points to consider?
Do you see some of the points above differently or do you think any of them are unnecessary?
Thank you

Central vacuum system.What exactly makes it especially quiet?
We had all of this in mind as well... Unfortunately, it all became much too expensive once you implement everything. Especially better bricks (perlite) and interior walls would have been very costly. There was also no gas connection available...
But it was important to me, as you said, that the pipes are well insulated and that we have enough doors in the house, so no open floor plan. That you can actually close the door sometimes.

Another advantage of this solution is radiant heat instead of convective heat. It is healthy and comfortable.
