The results are presented of experimental work, still in progress at the University of Bologna, aiming to verify the feasibility and reproducibility of a short test method for estimating the sound reduction index of a party wall, according to the 1S0 proposal (ISO TC 43/SC2/WG10). The method is int

β¦ Synopsis
The laboratory test chamber described in this paper was designed to provide a test facility for the measurement of airborne sound insulation of party walls and their associated flanking construction. Initially developed as a research tool to overcome the need to carry outfield measurements on new dwelling types, the results obtained in the chamber were found to be in close agreement with the results of field measurements in dwellings with similar constructional detailing. It is concluded that a chamber of this type provides a" simple and economic means of assessing in the laboratory the airborne sound insulation of dwellings.
