Assessment of Significant Acoustical Parameters for Rating Sound Insulation of Party Walls
To test the adequacy of French regulations for sound isolation in buildings, subjects were asked to rate their annoyance with samples of music filtered by electronic insulation curves representing different party walls. The different insulation curves provided an A-weighted level reduction of 51 dB with a pink noise source, which is the required level difference for party walls specified by French regulations. However, the different insulation curves did not provide the same degree of sound isolation with various music samples due to source spectral differences. The annoyance results were not predicted by the French.
