TY - JOUR AU - Bradley, J.S. PY - 2001/09/01 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Acceptable party wall sound insulation criteria JF - Canadian Acoustics JA - Canadian Acoustics VL - 29 IS - 3 SE - Proceedings of the Acoustics Week in Canada DO - UR - https://jcaa.caa-aca.ca/index.php/jcaa/article/view/1381 SP - 56-57 AB - Results of aggregate response data from a field survey of the sound insulation walls separating multiple unit housing in 3 Canadian cities were analyzed. Only the apparent STC ratings of the walls were considered. Data were aggregated into 8 groups by apparent STC rating. Based on the analysis, it is proposed that an effective STC of 55 is a realistic goal and STC 60 is a more ideal goal for party wall sound insulation. ER -
