The IS0 standard tapping machine was speciJed as an impact source to assess the sound insulation ofj7oors. The problem is that the noise spectrum produced by the tapping machine does not give similar spectra to that produced by an actual footfall. There are not enough low frequency components in the
The sound insulation of two sets of unsealed windows with different frame crosssections has been examined. One set of frames was constructed in situ using rectangular timber sections, the others being proprietary steel windows. The results showed that the unsealed steel windows had much lower sound
