In building acoustics the measurement uncertainty of sound insulation measurements is traditionally either not reported or reported as stated in the corresponding standard ISO 12999–1:2014. Determination and application of measurement uncertainties i... Read More about Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements..

An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration (2011)

Resilient bars can provide a low-cost, effective improvement to sound insulation performance. They are commonly used in timber-framed floor/ceiling assemblies in North America and Europe. Resilient bars are often modelled as springs isolating the two... Read More about An experimental study of the effects of resilient bars on plate vibration.

Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings. (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Prokofieva, E., & Smith, S. (2008). Methods of quality control of airborne and impact sound insualtion in newly built residential buildings.

The standard method of sound insulation testing in dwellings is pre-completion testing of separating walls and floors during the building process. The main disadvantage of this method is that if these structures fail to comply with building standar...
