This paper gives an indication of the sound isolation that can be achieved in a single-walled free-fieM chamber based on one of the panel systems commonly used to construct noise enclosures in factories. Isolation exceeding 40 dB at frequencies of 200 Hz and above has been measured in a chamber line

โฆ Synopsis
An auditory Iocalisation task involving 360 ยฐ azimuth was performed by three subjects in a large anechoic chamber. A single sound source of a rotating form was employed. Responses were measured to the nearest 10 ยฐ of azimuth. Under a control condition of 'no helmet', Iocalisation was within measurement errors for all degrees of azimuth. Under conditions of a DH-178 helmet in passive mode, the response field narrowed considerably, and with DH-178 active a further narrowing of the response field occurred. A DH-140 helmet in active mode showed the most degradation of response field. With the helmets in the active mode all sounds were heard as emanating from inside the head.
