In the automotive industry, it is common to use Air-Borne Insertion Loss (ABIL) to assess the performance of an acoustical multilayer, while Structure-Borne IL (SBIL) is rarely used, partly because of the lack of a commonly accepted definition and test procedure. This paper first dwells on the definition of SBIL, investigating by means of simple FE simulations some critical and non-obvious aspects related to this same definition, namely the type of SB excitation used and the formula used for the calculation of SBIL. After this, a very short and broad overview of a measurement system suitable for the measurement of SBIL is given.
