Abstract
In the previous paper, we report a practical floor impact sound level prediction method for a heavyweight impact source(Tire), soft impact source such as children jumping and running. According to these results, the calculated value and the measured value correspond comparatively well, regardless of differences in the floor structures. And the floor impact sound for a heavyweight impact source, soft source was strongly influenced by structural factors such as floor slab stiffness and peripheral support conditions. But the floor impact sound for a light impact source (Tapping machine), hard impact source was influenced by resilient layers, composed of multi-layer in floor structures. Thus, In this paper, 4 actual floor structures, all with differing resilient layers, were calculated using impedance method. When these calculation values were compared with the measured values, approximately all the values fell with one rank of the sound insulation grade, reference curve(L curve) by the JIS standard. So, a sample of measured values and calculated values from floor structures is presented to show the accuracy and appropriateness of the impedance method in domestic.
