Abstract
A brief account is given of the effect of air flow resistance, porosity, and tortuosity upon the permeability of rigid materials. The relative effects of paint and plaster finishes upon the acoustic impedance of lightweight concrete block walls manufactured from expanded slate and clay aggregates are described, and an indication is given of the most suitable form of wall construction to achieve maximum sound insulation.
