AB In a pilot study in 2016 about acoustic requirements for housing and schools in Europe and South America with comparisons between the two regions, significant differences in acoustic descriptors and limit values were found, both internally in the regions and between them. The  countries  considered  in  South  America  were  Argentina,  Brazil  and  Chile.  Now,  a wider  study  has  been  made  about  sound  insulation  regulations  for  housing,  schools, hospitals and office buildings, extended to more countries in South America and focusing on  studying,  evaluating  and  summarizing  the  status  of  such  regulations.  The  paper includes  examples  of  specific  acoustic  requirements  on  airborne  and  impact  sound insulation  between  rooms  in  the  before-mentioned  buildings  and  indications  of  traffic noise limits. It is found that many countries in South America have weak or no acoustic regulations.  Thus,  the  paper  provides  a  basis  for  future  cooperation  on  developing  and optimizing acoustic regulations.
