Abstract
Structure-borne sound sources affect the acoustic quality inside buildings. Based on many years of research, methods have been standardised to characterise structure-borne sound sources in the laboratory (EN 15657) and to predict the sound transmission from these sources when installed in buildings (EN 12354-5). This contribution is about the uncertainty of the source descriptors used in EN 15657 and the predicted installed sound power which is the input quantity for EN 12354-5. Recently an interlaboratory test with 7 participating laboratories has been performed. The task was to measure the blocked force, free velocity and mobility of an artificial source and the blocked force of the ISO tapping machine. From the evaluation of the measurement results estimates for the uncertainties of the source quantities and the installed power could be deduced.
