This study aims to provide fundamental data for enhancing the sound insulation performance of windows. For this study, windows composed of various types and thicknesses, were classified into five categories； fixed, single, double, triple and airtight, and then tested. In order to analyze their sound insulation characteristics and performances. test results were rated using methods such as D, STC, Ts and arithmetical mean. It was found that the sound insulation performance of windows is affected due to their type rather than the thickness of the glass. It was also found that when gap between the inner and outer frames was filled with caulking material, the sound transmission loss at high frequency bands was greatly improved. Therefore, the sound insulation performance of windows would be enhanced by minimizing the gap between frames.

Recently, the method of the apartment building design is changing from wall type to moment structure. Because of this reason, dry wall systems are used plentifully. This study examines the sound insulation performance of the light weight concrete panel using bottom ash. There is the difference of airborne sound isolation between laboratory and field test. For the purpose of searching deviation, we use the prediction tool(Insul 6.0). First, we calculated the prediction data and measured the sound isolation in the wall at the lab. Then, we measured it in the field and compared them. At the base of these datum, we measured the difference.

In an apartment house In Korea, the balcony is one of the important spaces as a buffer zone for controlling the outdoor environments such as noise, heating & cooling load, humidity etc. Because most areas of building facade in apartment building occupy the area of balcony window the sound Insulation design of It Is very Important to provide the quiet indoor environment. The aim of this research is to evaluate the sound insulation of balcony windows in apartment building by new and revised Korean Industrial Standards. We measured and studied the sound insulations of 18 balcony windows by the type of measuring methods, noise sources, correction of reverberation time in balcony and so on. The results show that the single-number quantities for sound insulation of windows are ranged from 24 dB to 30 dB.

In dry wall, noise is passed through gypsum board and stud. Noise makes gypsum board vibration. Then, the vibration passes through stud and gypsum board as resonation. And radiation as noise from surface of gypsum board into adjacent room. At this moment, according to thickness, placement and cross-section of stud, noise transmission ratio changes. Thicker stud has better sound insulation performance. Studs are apart from each other, has better sound insulation performance. But, single stud structure has restriction of thickness and arrange of studs. In this article, Sound insulation performance varies depending on the shape of the studs were studied.

This paper discusses an experimental method for measuring the insertion loss (IL) performance of a double panel that are used in vehicles. Instead of two adjacent reverberation chambers which are generally used to measure the transmission loss (TL) of the large sound isolation materials, air-borne sound insulation tester was utilized to determine the IL and articulation index (AI) of standardized deadening materials. In comparison to reverberation chamber method, air-borne sound insulation tester method is more space-saving, more time-saving and more simple to the automotive acoustics. From the empirical results, it is verified that the performance of deadening materials is closely connected with thickness of panels, type of filling material that is filled into a double panel, and area ratio of double panel.

The total evaluation of educational environment is needed with the rapid growth of the number of students. Especially it is very important to evaluate the physical environment of the classroom in elementary schools where the students spend their whole school life. This study aims to evaluate the daylighting and sound insulation performance of the classroom in elementary school, considering factors such as ceiling height and Wi/Wa (Window/Wall) ratio and then to plan the classroom. Analytic results of the daylighting and sound insulation performance show that the optimum Wi/Wa ratio is $35{\sim}45%$. Reduction of the ceiling height from 3.3m has little influence on the distribution of the indoor daylight factor and sound insulation performance

We have investigated correlation between airtightness measured by blower door and airborne sound insulation measured in the upper and lower units. We consist of two cases : all windows sealed(CASE 1) and not sealed(CASE 2). As a result, CASE 1 is tighter than CASE 2 in airtightness, but CASE 1 is lower than CASE 2 in sound level difference. This is because of big wind on measuring CASE 1. Thus we are going to measure them at another fields considering this factor. Finally we ought to find out the correlation between airtightness and sound insulation.

Recently, awareness of noise is increased and high performance sound insulation performance wall is designed. But in spite of installing high performance sound insulation performance wall, sound insulation performance in space is reduced by door. In this study, Sound insulation performance of doors which commonly used in buildings was measured to analyze current situation in the field and effect of method which increase sound insulation performance is analyzed quantitatively. As a result, sound insulation performance of doors which commonly used in buildings is FSTC 17~29 and can be increased about 2~3 dB by install rubber seal or mohair.

Social noise survey and auditory experiment on residential noises such as floor impact, air-borne, bathroom, drainage and traffic noises were conducted to classily a noise insulation Performance in apartment building. The survey results showed that annoyance among subjective responses to residential noises was most greatly affecting to satisfaction with noises. In the survey, boundary limit between satisfaction and dissatisfaction was also determined. Auditory experiments was also undertaken to determine noise insulation performance according to the percent of satisfaction for individual noise source. Result of auditory experiment showed that the noise insulation performance for floor impact, airborne, drainage and traffic noise corresponding to 40 % satisfaction is 49 dB (L$_{i,Fmax,AW}$), 48 dB (R'w), N-41, and N-40, respectively. Finally, classes of noise insulation performance in apartment building were proposed according to satisfaction with noises
