This document specifie
28、s a test method for assessing the intrinsic airborne sound insulation performance for noise reducing devices designed for roads in nonreverberant conditions. It can be applied in situ, i.e. where the noise reducing devices are installed. The method can be applied without damaging the surface of the
29、noise reducing device.The method can be used to qualify products to be installed along roads as well as to verify the compliance of installed noise reducing devices to design specifications. Regular application of the method can be used to verify the long term performance of noise reducing devices.T
30、he method requires the averaging of results of measurements taken at different points behind the device under test. The method is able to investigate flat and non-flat products.The method uses the same principles and equipment for measuring sound reflection (see EN 1793-5) and airborne sound insulat
31、ion (the present document).The measurement results of this method for airborne sound insulation are comparable but not identical with the results of the EN 17932 method, mainly because the present method uses a directional sound field, while the EN 1793-2 method assumes a diffuse sound field (where
32、all angles of incidence are equally probable). Research studies suggest that good correlation exists between laboratory data, measured according to EN 1793-2 and field data, measured according to the method described in the present document 4, 5, 6, 7, 15.The test method described in this document s
33、hould not be used to determine the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation for noise reducing devices to be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g. inside tunnels or deep trenches or under covers.For the purpose of this document, reverberant conditions are defined based on the geome
34、tric envelope, e, across the road formed by the barriers, trench sides or buildings (the envelope does not include the road surface) as shown by the dashed lines in Figure 1. Conditions are defined as being reverberant when the percentage of open space in the envelope is less than or equal to 25 %,
35、i.e. reverberant conditions occur when w/e 0,25, where e = (w+h1+h2).This document introduces a specific quantity, called sound insulation index, to define the airborne sound insulation of a noise reducing device. This quantity should not be confused with the sound reduction index used in building a
36、coustics, sometimes also called transmission loss.NOTE This method can be used to qualify noise reducing devices for other applications, e.g. to be installed nearby industrial sites. In this case, the singlenumber ratings can preferably be calculated using an appropriate spectrum.ivBS EN 17936:2018E
