    3.0 Sound Absoption Reflection and Transmission

    Uploaded by

    allyson
    The document discusses sound absorption, reflection, and transmission. It defines sound absorption as the amount of sound energy absorbed by a material. The sound absorption coefficient describes a material's ability to absorb sound on a scale of 0 to 1. Reflection is when a sound wave returns from a surface. Transmission is the passage of sound from one point to another, such as between rooms. Sound insulation works to reduce unwanted sound transmission through walls, floors, and other building elements.

    Transmission, Mechanism of Absorption
    SOUND ABSORPTION
    - measures the amount of sound energy absorbed by a
    material and is one of the most important performance
    considerations in the acoustic design of a room.

    Mechanism of Absorption
    SOUND ABSORPTION
    It is express as the coefficient absorption (a) alpha is
    defined as:

    a = Ia
    Ii
    Where Ii = intesity impringing on the material,
    watts/cm2
    Ia = intensity absorbed by the material,
    watts/cm2
    a. = absorption coefficient (no units)

    If a is 1.0 all the impringing energy is absorbed, it


    means that the materials absorbed the sound produced.

    Mechanism of Absorption
    SOUND ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT
    The sound absorption coefficient of a material describes its
    ability to absorb sound and is measured over a number of specific
    frequencies.

    The result is expressed as a number between 0 and 1


    where 0 is total reflection and 1 is total absorption. If the
    coefficient is multiplied by 100, it provides the percentage of incident
    sound that is absorbed.

    a = 0.75 means
    a = 0.75 x 100% = 75% sound absorption
    (The remaining 25% is sound reflection)

    Mechanism of Absorption
    Equivalent Sound Absorption area “A”
    The total sound absorption (A) provided by a surface is
    expressed in sabins, as formula:

    A= Sa

    Where, A = total absorption, sabins


    S = surface area, square meter
    a = coefficient of absorption

    For example a surface area (S)


    of 10m2 with a sound absorption A=10m2
    of a = 0.70 (70%). Find the Total
    absorption.

    Reverberation Time and Sound Absorption
    Reverberation is the prolongation of the reflected - Acousticalsurface.com

    The reverberation time in a room can be calculated by using the formula


    shown below where:

    T = Reverberation time
    V = Volume of the room in m3
    A = Total Sound absorption of surfaces
    K = Constant, 0.049 for ft3, and 0.16 for m3

    The American standard ASTM 423 provides similar test criteria to EN ISO
    354 and also provides a method for calculating a single figure result called a “Noise
    Reduction Coefficient” or” NRC”. This is calculated using the following equation.

    Reduce the unwanted sound.

    Soundproofing relates to the overall ability of a building


    element or building structure to reduce the sound transmission
    through it.

    Two types of sound insulation:


    1. airborne sound insulation and
    2. impact sound insulation.
