The verification of the sound insulation of faรงades and individual building elements, such as windows, is typically carried out in accordance with รNORM EN ISO 16283-3. However, in the presence of traffic noise or in the case of complex faรงade structures, such measurements are often difficult and require considerable effort.This paper therefore presents an adapted measurement method based on...

Window elements are often equipped with external shutters for the purpose of shading a room especially during nighttime. Although it is known that a shading device can have an effect on sound insulation of the overall window construction it is usually not taken into account for a prognosis of sound insulation performance. In terms of enhanced sound protection requirements during nighttime it...

Martin Schneider (Hochschule fรผr Technik Stuttgart)09/09/2026, 09:40A03 Building Acoustics
The current version of the German standard for sound insulation in buildings, DIN 4109, explicitly takes into account the external noise level at night. If the external noise level at night is no more than 10 dB lower than during the day, the required sound insulation is based on the relevant external noise level at night. In this case, a surcharge in sound insulation of 10 dB must be taken...

Accurate estimation of radiated sound power from lightweight facade systems is challenging due to their complex vibro-acoustic behavior, particularly at higher frequencies. Vibration-based approaches, such as those based on the Acoustic Radiation Matrix (ARM), offer an efficient framework for predicting sound power from measured surface velocities, but discrepancies are often observed when...

Faรงade sound insulation is a key feature to reduce sound immission in different kinds of buildings, ranging from standard dwellings to spaces dedicated to entertainment like music clubs, among other activities. In the last decade, since the publication of the standard ISO 16283-3:2016, an important claim has been highlighted: a dodecahedral sound source, as usually employed to measure airborne...

In acoustics, the Bies-Hansen model is a well-established empirical correlation for estimating the airflow resistivity (AFR), supporting the design and evaluation of fibrous acoustic materials such as mineral wool. It provides a mathematical relationship between the physical properties of materialโincluding density and fibre diameterโto AFR. The modelโs empirical constants were originally...

Won-Hak Lee (Korea Conformity of Lobratories)09/09/2026, 11:20A03 Building Acoustics
The residential remodeling market in South Korea is experiencing a compound annual growth rate of 5.4%, yet antiquated multi-family dwellings often feature slender concrete slabs (120โ180 ใ) that restrict the thickness and loading of retrofit systems. This study develops a wet-type floating floor system by jointly optimizing impact sound insulation and the long-term dimensional stability of...

This work employs a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) as a sensing modality for experimental measurements of bending wave properties in viscoelastic panels. A recently developed transfer function method is applied to characterize these properties, with a focus on experimentally determining the bending wave propagation coefficientโa key quantity from which other bending wave properties can be...

Thin membranes exhibit a drum-like acoustic response when subjected to rainfall. The resulting rain-induced noise can have a substantial impact on acoustic comfort and may negatively influence communication quality, speech intelligibility, and cognitive task performance. Consequently, a detailed assessment of rain-induced noise characteristics on membrane structures in different architectural...

Charlotte Crispin (Buildwise)09/09/2026, 14:40A03 Building Acoustics
ISO 9052-1, currently under revision, defines the test method for determining the dynamic stiffness of resilient materials used under floating floors, a key parameter for assessing acoustic performance. However, it does not account for the evolution of this property over time. Material ageing leads to a gradual increase in dynamic stiffness, resulting in a decrease in impact sound insulation,...

Jukka Kerรคnen (Turku University of Applied Sciences)09/09/2026, 15:00A03 Building Acoustics
Sound insulation of mechanically coupled multilayered constructions, such as lightweight floors and walls, depends on the resiliency of line connections (a.k.a. studs or bars) which are mechanically connecting the rigid layers (boards). Typical examples are vertical or horizontal wall studs and floor or ceiling joists. The transmission of mechanical vibration reduces when the dynamic...

JINYUN CHUNG (Korea Conformity Laboratory)09/09/2026, 15:00A03 Building Acoustics
Floor impact sounds are mainly divided into light-weight and heavy-weight, and different measurement equipment and evaluation methods are required according to each characteristic. Using both types of impact sources in a real experimental environment is time-consuming and resource-consuming, and there are limitations in terms of repeatability and reproducibility. Rubber balls, which are...

Tilde Jemima S. Resare (University of Sheffield)09/09/2026, 15:20A03 Building Acoustics
This research is focused on improving the acoustic performance of steel-studded double-leafed partition walls. The effects of the different components of the wall and their contribution to the system as a whole are investigated with a specific focus on the steel stud. Steel studs in walls have largely come to replace wooden studs. The design of steel studs minimises raw material cost while...
