6 Room Acoustics Room acoustic design of cinemas Room acoustic design in public areas WSP Acoustics Virtual Reality Model Creates real room models, incl. auralization. A computer model show how different linings on walls and ceilings appear acoustically in a room. Architects and an acousticians can easily cooperate in the design of rooms creating desired sound properties Almedahls textiles 6

9 Building Acoustics - Regulations New building regulations in Sweden from 1 july 2006 This imply large cost saving possibilities for those who are working in the building industry if used correctly requires knowledge Building Acoustics Regulations SS and SS Class A Class B Class C Class D National building code (in Sweden BBR, BFS 1993:57 including revisions until 2013) To be applied by local authorities, using certain application guidelines Optional classes for commissioner of building projects to achieve especially good sound climate To be applied in certain exceptional rebuilding projects after specific reconsideration 9

10 Building Acoustics - Regulations SS + Guidelines Commissioner of building projects SS and SS sound class technical requirements Controller of building projects SS and SS Catalogue methods concerning calculations and measurements Project manager Manufacturer Contractor SS-EN Calculation methods SS and SS Annexes including project advice SS-EN ISO 140 Measurement methods to secure the acoustical quality of building products Educating employees, assignments from project manager quality plan, internal and external quality control Sound insulation - Sound insulation / sound reduction index, R Should be as high as possible - Impact sound level, L n Should be as low as possible 10

11 Sound reduction index The sound reduction index is measured / calculated for each single 1/3 octave value according to the formula: R=Lp1-Lp2+10*log(S/A) - or the Standardized level diff. DnT=Lp1-Lp2+10*log(T/T 0 ) Lp1 = Sound level in the sending room (with noise from a loudspeaker as a sound source) Lp2 = Sound level in the receiving room S = separating area A = sound absorption area in the receiving room Then the weighted sound reduction value is calculated acc to SS-EN ISO Sound reduction value Different measures R w R w D ntw D ntw +C R A R A R A,tr R w+c R w+c R w+c tr R w+c tr, R w+c tr, etc. 11

12 Lij db Which sound reduction index should be valid? C, C , C tr etc. are called spectrum adaptation terms Various sound sources have different spectrum. The adaptation term fit the measure to a sound source A political way to meet an agreement Spectrum adaptation terms in diagram Spektrum för att beräkna C och Ctr ( Hz) Spektrum 01 spektrum Frekvens, Hz 12

13 Same value, Rw different shapes [db] reduktionstal R betong Rw 58 db D 120/ M95 Rw 58 db frekvens [Hz] Field value or laboratory value Depending on how the building products are connected to eachother the final sound insulation might differ a lot from a laboratory measurement Exampel: Gypsum wall DD 70/ M140 - laboratory Rw=72 db In a building with a floor structure of 160 mm concrete R w=55 db SI decreases 17 db! Apply an upper floor construction for instance GIHA R w=58 db an improvement 3 db! 13

14 Impact sound The same is valid for impact sound,i.e L nw, wood L nw, concrete Even if the single numbers are identical Impact sound level, Ln The impact sound level is measured / calculated in each single 1/3 octave band level from Hz according to the formula: Ln=Lp+10*log (A/10) or LnT=Lp+10*log (T/0,5) Lp = sound level in the receiving room (with the impact sound machine as a sound source) A = Sound absorption area in the receiving room T = Reverberation time in the receiving room Then weighted impact sound level is calculated Lnw or LnTw One single value 14

15 Impact sound level Different measures L n L n,w L n,w +C I L n,w +C I, L nt,w L nt,w +C I, Same value but different shapes Lnw =58 db Lnw+C = 62 db Lnw =58 db Lnw+C = 57 db 15
