- Scope
- This part of ISO 16283 specifies methods for determining the airborne sound insulation of facade components (component method) and entire facades (overall method) by means of sound pressure measurements. These methods are intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m3 to 250 m3 and the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz. The test results can be used to quantitatively determine, assess and compare the airborne sound insulation in unfurnished and furnished rooms, whereby the sound field may or may not approximately correspond to a diffuse sound field. The measured airborne sound insulation depends on the frequency and can be converted into a single number in order to characterize the acoustic effect using the evaluation procedures according to ISO 717-1. The aim of the component method is to estimate the sound insulation level of a facade component, for example a window. The most precise component process uses a loudspeaker as an artificial sound source. Other, less precise component methods use the existing traffic noise. The aim of the overall method, on the other hand, is to estimate the difference in sound levels outdoors and in buildings under actual traffic conditions. The most accurate overall methods use actual traffic as the sound source. If the sound level generated by traffic noise within the room is insufficient, a loudspeaker can be used as an artificial sound source. An overview of the procedures is given in Table 1. The component-loudspeaker method produces a structural sound insulation index that, under certain circumstances, is comparable to the sound insulation index measured in test benches according to ISO 10140. This method is the preferred method when the objective of the measurement is to evaluate the performance of a specified façade component in relation to its performance in the test bench. The component-road traffic method serves the same purpose as the component-speaker method. It is of particular use when the component-speaker method is not applicable for various practical reasons. The two methods often produce slightly different results. The road traffic method tends to have lower sound insulation values than the loudspeaker method.
