This report presents a method for estimating benefits accruing from implementation of acoustical performance requirements for new buildings. The method can be applied to a wide range of environmental noise conditions and noise isolation requirements for building envelopes. Benefits are estimated based upon the distribution of population with outdoor noise level and the noise isolation provided by the building envelope. A method is described for estimating noise isolation performance of existing construction based upon local conditions.

“…Existing data could only be found for older styles of construction and almost always exclude the important lower frequency bands. 1 This article presents analyses of the measurements of the sound transmission loss of a series of exterior wood stud walls. The walls are representative of contemporary constructions used in climates where significant thermal insulation is required.…”

S.; Birta, J. A. This article reports the results of a series of measurements of the sound transmission loss of exterior wood stud walls. The measurements were made using standard laboratory procedures in which the walls were built between two reverberation chambers. The outdoor-indoor transmission class is used to rate the relative effectiveness of the various constructions. The measurement results are used to illustrate the influence of key parameters of the constructions on measured sound transmission loss values and to give guidance for future designs. The overall sound insulation of these wood stud walls, to typical outdoor noises, is shown to be limited by two types of low-frequency resonances. An understanding of these low-frequency limitations can most effectively lead to superior sound insulation in similar wood stud walls. Journal of the Acoustical Society of
