✦ Synopsis

National and international standards for the measurement of sound insulation allow the user considerable flexibility in his technique. Concerned that this could lead to systematic differences in results, seven leading test organisations in the UK formed a working group to devise a detailed procedure compatible with BS 2750 and ISO 140. The agreed procedure is explained and fully set out in this paper.

A comparison between the results obtained by the groups using this agreed method and their individual methods is described. Some reduction in discrepancies was found with the new method but they were by no means eliminated.

This paper describes a novel method of measuring sound insulation in frequency bands or dB(A) using pistol shots as tbe source. The method has the advantages of speed and economy in comparison with classical measurements. Comparisons of the impulsive and classical methods are given for a number of s
