This article describes the acoustic qualities (sound insulation and a level of acoustic pressure of impact sound) composite construction, composite timber - concrete ceiling. The qualities of the ceiling construction were discovered in the experimental measurements in the acoustic testing laboratory certified by CSI Zlin on a sample of a 3 x 3.6 m size. One type of a floor composition was created. Three phases of measurement have been performed on the tested floor. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether the devised ceiling can be used as a separating element between apartments.
