A BSTRA CT This paper deals with transmission of structure-borne sound in buildings in a special case: the sound is assumed to originate from railway traffic and to be transmitted through rock to a building which is built directly on rock'. It is shown that in such situations a major part of the tra

β¦ Synopsis
Noise from machinery in buildings is caused by a mixture of air-borne and structure-borne sound. Relations are given for the estimation of sound levels in rooms due to air-borne and structure-borne sound transmission. For air-borne noise well-known quantities can be used to describe the source strength and sound transmission. Comparable quantities are presented which can be used to describe the structure-borne source strength and transmission. Methods to determine all quantities are indicated and illustrated with some examples.

A BS TRA C T Building constructions made from concrete, light-weight concrete and brickwork are often so thick that the propagation of structural sound is shifted from bending waves to shear waves within the frequency range of building acoustics. This means that the dispersion function for the phase
A BS TRA C T By using the SEA method, the characteristics of structure-borne sound propagation in an existing building are analyzed. The calculated results of the sound-pressure level in the room are compared with measured values. An analytical model that simplifies the building is a group of rectan
