Undesirable noise could be a major nuisance in constructions, really dwellings. half E of the construction laws for England and Wales has for that reason brought considerably superior criteria for noise regulate and stringent new specifications for the checking out of accomplished buildings.This new publication explains the rules intimately and gives options for strong layout and building. It explains these points of sound transmission useful for an knowing of half E of the rules.

Traffic noise . Aircraft noise. There is some overlap in the characteristics of these noises. 4. It should be noted that all the decibel levels in this table are the values that would be measured using the A-weighted network. The first spectrum, C, takes account of noise from: The Principles of Airborne Sound Insulation . . . 37 Domestic activities, including speech, music, radio and television Children playing Railway traffic at medium and high speed Road traffic at speeds greater than 80 km/hour Jet aircraft at short distance.
The critical frequency fc may be calculated from: fc where c2 1X8hvL c is the velocity of sound in air h is the thickness of the panel vL is the velocity of longitudinal waves in the material of the panel. As the frequency of the incident sound wave increases, the drop in R due to coincidence begins at fc. For diffuse sound fields, the effect becomes most pronounced at approximately 2fc, and then gradually fades as the mass law reasserts itself. By combining all the factors that affect the sound transmission, it is possible to sketch a theoretical graph of sound reduction index against frequency, as shown in Fig.
The preferred approach is to specify a standard method of generating impacts, and to measure the sound pressure level in the receiving room only. The sound pressure level in the receiving room, suitably weighted, is then used directly as the criterion of performance. Clearly, the lower the sound level in the receiving room the better is the resistance of the structure to impact noise, and so whereas the criteria for airborne sound specify minimum values for sound reduction, the criteria for impact noise specify maximum values for the noise level that is generated.
