Acoustic properties of building structures are currently very actual theme with regard to the development of new building and insulating materials, while the methods for estimating the airborne sound reduction index evolve mainly from the second half of the 20th century. For mutual comparison of selected prediction methods and for determination of their suitability it has been provided a calculation of weighted sound reduction index RW [dB] from the input parameters of materials identified by laboratory measurements, calculation of weighted apparent sound reduction index R ́W [dB] and these values were compared with in-situ measurements. The aim of this paper is to determine the most appropriate method to calculate RW [dB] and R ́W [dB] values of lightweight building constructions with regard to their practical applicability, accuracy of estimation and complexity of the calculations.

<p>The implementation of laboratory measurement of airborne sound insulation based on ISO and ASTM standards was carried out at SNSU BSN. The aim of this work to realize the measurement of airborne sound insulation for several sample tests, where the procedure of the test is performed according to the updated standard ISO 10140 and ASTM E90. Besides, the single number rating also is determined based on ISO 717-1 and ASTM E413. This measurement has been conducted in the two reverberation rooms using pressure method consist of measuring the sound pressure level, measuring the reverberation time, obtaining the sound reduction index (R) or sound transmission loss (STL), and determination of a single-number ratings of the samples test. From the results, some parameter requirements such as the frequency range and the rounding procedure of R or STL influence the measurement result slightly. Subsequently, the significant difference is obtained for the determination of single number rating in the shifting procedure of the reference curve.</p>

AbstractThis paper describes the results of a scientific project focused on determining of the Airborne Sound Insulation of a peripheral non-load bearing wall made of straw bales expressed by Weighted Sound Reduction Index. Weighted Sound Reduction Index was determined by measuring in the certified acoustic laboratory at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Brno University of Technology. The measured structure of the straw wall was modified in combinations with various materials, so the results include a wide range of possible compositions of the wall. The key modification was application of plaster on both sides of the straw bale wall. This construction as is frequently done in actual straw houses. The additional measurements were performed on the straw wall with several variants of additional wall of slab materials. The airborne sound insulation value has been also measured in separate stages of the construction. Thus it is possible to compare and determinate the effect of the single layers on the airborne sound insulation.

For the purposes of accumulating knowledge of how to comply with requirements for new buildings of obligatory sound class C or enhanced acoustic comfort sound classes A and B (Lithuanian Building Technical regulations STR 2.01.07:2003), the article discusses improvement on airborne sound insulation of partitions between dwellings using additional plasterboard layers. The results of an empirical approach were obtained performing in situ measurements of the partitions of masonry from silicate blocks and expanded-clay concrete blocks. Theoretical calculations without the evaluation of flanking paths are added. The paper looks at the peculiarities of in situ measurement methods and the estimation of the limiting uncertainty of the sound reduction index. It is showed that the values of the in situ measurements of the airborne sound reduction index in accordance with requirements EN ISO 140 and EN ISO 717 series for rooms having volume higher than 50 m3 varies depending on frequency range. It has been stated, that improvement on the weighed airborne sound reduction index in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 3150 Hz depends on the properties of additional layers and on the characteristics of the main constructions. Resonance in the low frequency range arising due to additional layers may reduce the weighed airborne sound reduction index defined in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 3150 Hz. This fact must be taken into account when designing improvement on masonry wall insulation using an additional layer in dwellings.

The structural complexity of a door causes difficulties in the description of its behavior from an acoustical point of view. In many cases, even a small change can cause a big difference in its sound-isolating properties. To determine the acoustical quality of a door, it is important to perform laboratory measurements of the door structure and door frame, the gaps including. A mathematical analysis based on experimental measurements of the sound reduction index of several door constructions was used to determine the acoustical door categories. The equations for calculating the sound reduction index, which were introduced in this paper, should help in the design of a suitable door from an acoustical point of view.

This article presents an assessment for the airborne sound insulation provided by single glazed panels. The glazed panels were glass, acrylic and polycarbonate with a thickness of 4 mm. The experiments were conducted in a transmission loss facility consisting of semi anechoic and reverberation chambers. The panels were subjected to airborne sound and the data collected. Glass, acrylic and polycarbonate panel absorb noise most effectively above 500 Hz with the absorption peaks at 1000 Hz. The single number sound reduction index (RW) for glass, polycarbonate and acrylic were 41 dB, 38 dB and 37 dB, respectively. This could be attributed mainly to the material density which is higher for the glass. Keywords: Sound transmission loss; glazing; insulation; weighted index

Acoustically speaking, a door as a part of a wall cladding or internal wall partition is usually the weakest element of such a structure [1,2]. The less effective sound insulation properties of a door, in comparison with the main wall structure, results in the fact that the sound reduction index of the door is one of the most important factors affecting the total sound isolation properties of a complex wall.

Abstract Airborne acoustic properties of composite structural insulated panels CSIPs composed of fibre-magnesium-cement facesheets and expanded polystyrene core were studied. The sound reduction ratings were measured experimentally in an acoustic test laboratory composed of two reverberation chambers. The numerical finite element (FEM) model of an acoustic laboratory available in ABAQUS was used and verified with experimental results. Steady-state and transient FE analyses were performed. The 2D and 3D modelling FE results were compared. Different panel core modifications were numerically tested in order to improve the airborne sound insulation of CSIPs.

In the frame of the SOPRANOISE project (funded by CEDR in the Transnational Road Research Programme 2018) the database of the European noise barrier market developed during the QUIESST project was updated with newly acquired data. This database gives the opportunity for an empirical study on the correlation between the different measurement methods for the acoustic properties of noise barriers (according to the EN 1793 series) to further investigate the interrelationships between these methods by using single-number ratings and third-octave band data. First a correlation of the measurement methods for sound absorption under diffuse field conditions (EN 1793-1) and sound reflection under direct sound field conditions (EN 1793-5) is presented. Secondly, a correlation of the measurement methods for airborne sound insulation under diffuse field conditions (EN 1793-2) and airborne sound insulation under direct sound field conditions (EN 1793-6) is shown. While for airborne sound insulation a distinct correlation is found due to the wide data range, for sound absorption no robust correlation can be found.
