Abstract
In a companion paper, a laboratory method is described to obtain the structure-borne sound power of machines before they are installed in heavy-weight buildings. The laboratory method is based on the concept of the reception plate. In this paper, the method is shown to provide appropriate input data for the prediction of the installed structure-borne power, and thence the resultant sound pressure level in rooms removed from the room containing the machine. Case studies of two common sources are described: a whirlpool bath and a water cistern. It is shown that the method can be incorporated into recently proposed standard prediction models and that sound pressure levels in buildings can be predicted.
