noise abatement
A text about measures that must be taken by residents in a building to keep noise to a minimum: "Mocht er zich in de flat een piano bevinden, dan is het verplicht een moderator aan te brengen."
I am unsure of 'moderator' in English because of relatively few Google hits in a piano context. I don't have a dictionary of music and the online ones I've found are extremely basic. Are there any piano players out there?
