Two probabilistic evaluation methods for single and double walls type sound insulation systems with arbitrary random noise excitation

抄録

In the practical engineering field of noise control, it is as important as the sound source countermeasure to improve the sound propagation characteristics by newly setting a sound insulation system. On the other hand, the noise statistics like an L_x (x=5, 10, 50, 90, ) defined as a (100 -x) percentage point of the sound level distribution are very important as well as the lower order energy moment statistics like an L_eq in the actual noise evaluation and regulation problems. In this paper, two kinds of probabilistic evaluation methods for sound insulation systems are theoretically proposed from typically different points of view for the probability distribution of the transmitted sound intensity, when a general stationary random noise having an arbitrary distributionform and frequency characteristics is insulated by a wall. To evaluate its sound transmission coefficient, a somewhat modified statistical energy analysis method has been used.The validity of the theoretical results is experimentally confirmed by applying it to the actually observed data on the output response fluctuation of single and double walls type insulation systems inserted between two reverberation rooms.
