Abstract

A smaller meta-analysis using field data for subjective sound insulation in dwellings is carried out, using and analyzing data found in the literature. The investigated parameter is the correlation coefficient between the sound insulation metrics and the subjective annoyance (or similar). Both airborne and impact sound insulation is considered. One of the objectives are to see if low frequency adaptation terms according to ISO 717 will yield an increased correlation or not. Other investigated aspects is the influence of lightweight versus heavyweight building elements and the question regarding the importance of vertical versus horizontal transmission.
