The book explains sound insulation in buildings at a level suitable
for both graduate students and expert consultants. Theoretical
models are set out for sound transmission in buildings, with an
emphasis on thick and heavy constructions. Thus, the description is
not restrained by the common assumption of bending waves which is
characteristic of thin plates, only. A general description is
provided, with the modal density in the structures as a key
parameter. At low frequencies statistical energy analysis is
replaced by modal energy analysis. Sound transmission through
windows and facades is represented by a model that allows any angle
on incidence, including the special case of grazing incidence. One
chapter is devoted to the subjective evaluation of sound
insulation, particularly noise from neighbours, and how this can be
applied in a sound classification scheme for dwellings. Measurement
methods in building acoustics are presented with emphasis on modern
methods using MLS signals or sine sweeps. The analysis and
estimation of measurement uncertainty is discussed in detail. In a
final chapter examples of experimental buildings with high sound
insulation are explained.
