Abstract: | Measurements were carried out on a building to evaluate the uses of statistical energy analysis for determining sound transmission performance. Coupling loss factors were measured and compared with predicted values. It was found that, in general, good agreement was obtained. The coupling loss factors were also used to calculate the sound pressure level, or surface velocity, of each subsystem in the building for a number of different sources. Comparison with the measured results gave an average error of 4 dB. Some large errors were obtained but these were due mainly to the omission of airborne flanking paths from the SEA model or due to the breakdown of the theory for specific coupling loss factors. |
