The low-frequency (20–250 Hz) airborne sound transmission of single partitions is investigated. Three theoretical models are used for the prediction: an infinite plate model, a baffled plate model and a room-plate-room model. The calculation models are verified by detailed comparisons with experimental results obtained in the laboratory. A parametric study is carried out to examine the influence of the dimensions of the room and the partition. The results demonstrate the strong modal behaviour of the low-frequency sound transmission. As a result, the low-frequency sound insulation depends not only on the properties of the test wall, but also on the geometry and the dimensions of the room-wall-room system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
