Abstract
As previous chapters dealt with virtual environments with sound in free-field and in enclosures (room acoustics, Sect. 11.7), situations with partition walls and complete buildings will be discussed in this chapter. This concerns the field of classical building acoustics as part of architectural acoustics. A typical example dealt with by building acoustics is the problem of sound transmitted into a so-called receiving room from the room next door (source room), for instance, sound from a stereo set that is transmitted into the neighbouring sleeping room. The fundamentals of building acoustics and its auralization are described in this chapter. Another example is impact noise created by walking on the floor in the room above, a typical example of a structure-borne source, which will be treated in Chap. 14. Furthermore, sound generated by building service equipment like heating or air condition systems is of interest. Noise from outside the building, like traffic noise or industrial noise, concerns the sound insulation of facades.
