| Abstract | The IRC Acoustics Laboratory has completed the measurement phase of a study of sound transmission through gypsum board walls. The study was needed because building products and test methods have changed, so old tests and estimates are potentially misleading. Further, many of the older published results do not clearly identify relevant construction details such as screw spacing, or do not match normal practice for fire resistance or other concerns. This report presents the sound transmission class (STC) data for a large series of walls constructed with industry-standard details using a carefully characterized set of materials. Although some of the specimens were chosen by individual clients to demonstrate performance of specific products, these were combined with a structured series established collectively by the consortium. |
