Résumé

Les chambres d’isolation acoustique, dans lesquelles l’on fait Pexamination auditive ou la recherce audiologique, sont déssinées afin d’insonoriser au delà de quatre-vingt dix (90) décibels tout en ayant un bruit de fond au seuil de l’audition. La réduction des niveaux publié par les manufacturiers pour ces chambres proviennent d’éssais en laboratoire conformément au standard ANSI/ASTM E-596. Plusieurs méthodes d’essais en place (après l’installation dans un batîment) ont été proposée mais aucune d’elles permetterait une comparaison directe aux résultats de laboratoires. Le variable principal c’est l’environment acoustique entourant la chambre dans un batîment qui varie nessairement d’une salle de réverbération.
