ACOUSTICAL TESTS OF A SOUND INSULATION AND ABSORBING BARRIER

COLLAUDO ACUSTICO DI BARRIERA FONOISOLANTE E FONOASSORBENTE

A sound insulating and sound absorbent barrier was designed, installed and tested using a sample source of white noise. The sound insulation was calculated as the difference between two readings, one with and one without the barrier, in identical conditions. Details are given of the tests, readings and results.
