A study is reported of the sound transmission loss of perforated panels. The study includes a theoretical analysis and measurement by means of sound intensity. The predicted transmission loss is similar to that measured above 630 Hz. The maximum discrepancy is less than 2 dB. The perforation in a thick panel is found to reduce the coincidence effect at the critical frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
