Abstract
Machines installed in various structures emit airborne sound and structureborne sound and are major source of noise and vibration. Especially when machines are installed upon a flexible foundation, most of noise and vibration are due to transmission of structureborne sound. Therefore, characterization and measurement of structureborne sound source level are necessary for controlling noise and vibration. But structureborne sound from vibrating machine is strongly coupled to the supportingstructure. This paper proposes the method of estimating the supporting sturcture's dynamic character- istic and structureborne sound source level for machine installed system without separating the machine, resilient mount and foundation.
