A Study on the Sound Transmission Loss Measurement of Sound Isolation Sheets
차음시트의 음향투과손실 측정에 관한 연구
Abstract
A new impedance tube method is presented for the measurement of transmission loss of sound isolation sheets. The two-microphone method based on the sound decomposition theory proposed by Seybert and Ross is reviewed in this impedance tube method, which has been used for the determination of absorption coefficient of absorptive materials as well as transmission loss of automotive mufflers. Sound transmission losses for rubber, polyvinyl and asphalt sheets are measured in an impedance tube and reverberation room facility, respectively. By comparing two measurement methods, the reliability of impedance tube method used in this study is validated. From the experimental results, it is shown that the accuracy of sound isolation capability obtained by the impedance tube method depends upon the microphone spacing and the distance of the first microphone from the test sample surface.
