Sound Insulation of Wall and Floor Constructions

The data obtained at the National Bureau of Standards on the sound transmission of door, wall, and floor constructions are summarized. The results in Report BMS17 (1939) and its two Supplements (1940 and 1947) are included, together with later results up to March 1954. The general principles of sound insulation are discussed, and the factors governing the transmission of airborne and impact sound in structures are examined. The importance of choosing suitably quiet locations for buildings is stressed, and the best use of the quieter rooms of a building is urged. The merits of suspended ceilings, floating floors, staggered studs, and other types of sound-insulating construction are discussed. A brief description of the measuring technique is given. (Author)
