Low-Frequency Airborne Sound Transmission through Single Partitions in Buildings

Applied Acoustics, (1997)

Abstract

The low-frequency (20–250 Hz) airborne sound transmission of single partitions is investigated. Three theoretical models are used for the prediction: an infinite plate model, a baffled plate model and a room-plate-room model. The calculation models are verified by detailed comparisons with experimental results obtained in the laboratory. A parametric study is carried out to examine the influence of the dimensions of the room and the partition. The results demonstrate the strong modal behaviour of the lowfrequency sound transmission. As a result, the low-frequency sound insulation depends not only on the properties of the test wall but also on the geometry and the dimensions of the room-wall-room system. In general, the large variation of the low-frequency insulation compromises the accuracy of prediction of the sound insulation in situ.
