1、Designation: E336 15Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Airborne Sound Attenuation betweenRooms in Buildings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E336; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l
2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThis test method is part of a set
3、 of standards for evaluating the sound-insulating properties ofbuilding elements. It is designed to measure the sound isolation between two rooms or to estimatelower limits for sound transmission through a partition element installed as an interior part of abuilding. Others in the set cover the airb
4、orne sound transmission loss of an isolated partition elementin a controlled laboratory environment (Test Method E90), the laboratory measurement of impactsound transmission through floors (Test Method E492), the measurement of impact sound transmis-sion in buildings (Test Method E1007), the measure
5、ment of sound transmission through buildingfacades and facade elements (Guide E966), the measurement of sound transmission through acommon plenum between two rooms (Test Method E1414/E1414M), and measurement of thenormalized insertion loss of doors (Test Method E2964).1. Scope1.1 The sound isolation
6、 between two spaces in a building isdetermined by a combination of the direct transmission throughthe nominally separating building element (as normally mea-sured in a laboratory) and any transmission along a number ofindirect paths, usually referred to as flanking paths. Fig. 1illustrates the direc
7、t paths and some possible structural flankingpaths. Additional non-structural flanking paths may includetransmission through common air ducts between rooms, ordoors to the corridor from adjacent rooms.1.2 The main part of this test method defines procedures andmetrics to assess the sound isolation b
8、etween two rooms orportions thereof in a building separated by a common partitionincluding both direct and flanking transmission paths or theapparent sound insulation of the separating partition. Appro-priate measures and their single number ratings are the noisereduction (NR) and noise isolation cl
9、ass (NIC), the normalizednoise reduction (NNR) and normalized noise isolation class(NNIC), and the apparent transmission loss (ATL) and appar-ent sound transmission class (ASTC).With the exception of theATL andASTC under specified conditions, these procedures inthe main part of the test method are o
10、nly applicable when bothroom volumes are less than 150 m3.NOTE 1The word “partition” in this test method includes all types ofwalls, floors, or any other boundaries separating two spaces. The bound-aries may be permanent, operable, or movable.1.3 The NR and NIC between two locations may always bemea
11、sured and reported though conditions present will influencehow measurements are made. Restrictions such as minimumroom volume or dimensions or maximum room absorption areimposed for all other measures and ratings in this standard.Thus, conditions may exist that will not allow NNR (NNIC),ATL(ASTC) or
12、 FTL(FSTC) to be measured. Where a partitionbetween rooms is composed of parts that are constructeddifferently, or contains an element such as a door, it is notpossible to measure the ATL and ASTC of the individualelements or portions of the partition. To evaluate the fieldperformance of a door less
13、 than 6 m2in area, use Test MethodE2964.1.4 Annex A1 provides methods to assess the sound trans-mission through a partition or partition element with theinfluence of flanking transmission reduced. These methodsmay be used when it must be demonstrated that a partition hasachieved a specified minimum
14、sound attenuation. The resultsare the field transmission loss (FTL) and field sound transmis-sion class (FSTC).1.5 Annex A2 provides methods to measure the soundisolation between portions of two rooms in a building separatedby a common partition including both direct and flanking paths1This test met

39、e mea-surement spaces and volumes in each room are defined and themetrics to be measured are identified based on informationgiven in Section 5 within the restrictions given in 11.3 andAnnex A2.4.2 The number and location of sound sources are chosen,sound is produced in the source room and sound pres
40、sure levelsare sampled spatially in the measurement spaces in both thesource and receiving rooms.FIG. 2 Coupled Spaces Adjacent to a Primary SpaceE336 1534.3 Sound decay rates are measured as necessary dependingon the result to be reported.4.4 If a value for noise reduction is to be measured between
41、rooms immediately adjacent to a common partition whereeither is 150 m3in volume or greater, the requirements andprocedures of Annex A2 must be satisfied.4.5 If values of NNR are to be reported, the requirements of9.3 must be satisfied. If values of ATL are to be reported, therequirements of 9.4.1 mu
42、st be satisfied and if ATL is to bereported for a partition between spaces where either is 150cubic meters in volume or greater, the requirement of 9.4.1.2must be satisfied.4.6 If a value for the field transmission loss (FTL) is to bemeasured, the requirements and procedures of Annex A1 mustbe satis
43、fied.4.7 Results and single number ratings are calculated andreported.5. Significance and Use5.1 The main part of this standard uses procedures origi-nally developed for laboratory measurements of the transmis-sion loss of partitions. These procedures assume that the roomsin which the measurements a
44、re made have a sound field thatreasonably approximates a diffuse field. Sound pressure levelsin such rooms are reasonably uniform throughout the room andaverage levels vary inversely with the logarithm of the roomsound absorption. Not all rooms will satisfy these conditions.Practical experience and
45、controlled studies (1)6have shownthat the test method is applicable to smaller spaces normallyused for work or living, such as rooms in multi-familydwellings, hotel guest rooms, meeting rooms, and offices withvolumes less than 150 cubic meters. The measures appropriatefor such spaces are NR, NNR, an
46、d ATL. The correspondingsingle number ratings are NIC, NNIC andASTC. TheATL andASTC may be measured between larger spaces that meet alimitation on absorption in the spaces to provide uniform sounddistribution.5.2 Annex A2 was developed for use in spaces that are verylarge (volume of 150 m3or greater
47、). Sound pressure levelsduring testing can vary markedly across large rooms so that thedegree of isolation can vary strongly with distance from thecommon (separating) partition. This procedure evaluates theisolation observed near the partition. The appropriate measureis NR, and the appropriate singl
48、e number rating is NIC.5.3 It is sometimes necessary to demonstrate that the soundinsulation of a partition meets or exceeds a specific criterion.AnnexA1 provides additional requirements, and describes howshielding procedures can be used to reduce flanking transmis-sion in stages to show that a part
49、ition has achieved a minimumvalue of the FTL or minimum value of the FSTC which maymeet or exceed the criterion. If it is demonstrated that nosignificant flanking exists through shielding of all potentialflanking paths, then, and only then, FTL and FSTC may bereported without qualification.NOTE 3Measuring the sound transmission loss properties of apartition itself to demonstrate that it meets or exceeds a specific criterionis very difficult in the field due to the presence of flanking (2, 3). Roomvolume and absorption requirements must also be met.5.4 Sev
