✦ Synopsis

A study of airborne sound transmission through a building has shown that parts of the building which appear to be identical do not have the same acoustic performance. This difference cannot be explained by differences in the dimensions or material properties, nor by variations in flanking transmission. It is therefore concluded that the variation, which is approximately 2 dB, is due to workmanship.

Nominally identical examples of most types of building construction have been found to provide different levels of sound insulation. A possible reason is that different standards of workmanship introduce differences that cannot be seen when the.building has been completed. For example, if mortar bet

The analysis of structure-borne sound transmission is obscured by the complicated nature of the dynamic interaction between source and receiver at each contact point. There is little measured data because of the practical dif®culties in directly measuring forces and moments at the contacts. This is

There is increasing evidence that moments are signi®cant contributors in machine induced structure-borne sound. Omission of these components in prediction can therefore lead to an underestimate of total power in some cases, although it is recognised that considering all transmission paths in predict
