    This document discusses acoustics and sound insulation in buildings. It covers various topics like sound propagation through rooms, measurement techniques, acoustics for music performance spaces, sound behavior in rooms, and building design considerations for good acoustics. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of factors like reverberation time, sound penetration between rooms, and flutter echoes. It provides recommended reverberation time ranges for different room types like classrooms, assembly halls, sports halls, and music rooms.

    ACOUSTICS & SOUND

    INSULATION OF BUILDING

    Presented by:
    VIVEK KUMAR
    REGDNO: 1301211480/CIVIL
    Introduction:

    • Sound energy does not remain in the room where it


    is produced, but propagates throughout the building
    by any available path, intruding into other rooms as
    noise

    • The measurements and calculations are made in 1/1-


    or 1/3-octave bands and averaged over a number of
    positions in the rooms.

    • Finally a single-number index is calculated by


    averaging over all the frequency bands.
    Standard and measuring techniques
    in acoustics

    • The national standard of acoustic


    pressure is realized by the primary
    method of pressure reciprocity
    calibration of microphones. An indirect
    measurement method of the acoustical
    impedance of laboratory standard
    microphones, developed during last
    year, led to an improvement in the
    calibration uncertainty.
    Primary method of pressure reciprocity calibration of condenser microphones

    ACOUSTICS FOR MUSIC

    • The audience must clearly hear all of the music with


    the proper balance between instruments, and the
    proper tonal balance for each instrument.
    • The performer must clearly hear himself and the
    other performers.
    • Reverberation should be appropriate to the style of
    the music.
    • Extraneous sounds must be inaudible in the concert
    space.
    • The sound of the concert should be inaudible outside
    of the concert space.
    SOUND IN A ROOM

    Reverberation

    Sound does not stop at the listener's ears of course,


    it continues and is reflected again by the other walls
    of the room. If the coefficient of absorption is low, a
    sound may bounce several dozen times before it
    fades away.

    Building for good acoustics
    A small concert hall was given acoustical treatments in a recent
    renovation. Here are the visible features that were added:

    CONCLUSION:

     
           There
    are a number of factors to take into
    account when analysing the acoustics in any
    one room, the following play a major part in
    creating a poor acoustic environment.

    • Too much reverberation


    • Sound from other rooms penetrates the walls
    • Flutter echos.
     
         
      In order to reduce reverberation time, you need to increase the absorption in
    the room. Absorption can be increased by the replacing of covering hard
    surfaces with softer ones to minimise the amount of reflection.
     
           For optimum speech intelligibility a reverberation time of less than 0.6 or
    0.8 seconds is required for classrooms
     
           Foroptimum speech intelligibility a reverberation time of 0.8 to 1.2
    seconds is required for assembly halls.

           Reverberation time of less than 1.5 seconds is required for sports halls.
     
           Reverberationtime of less than 1.0 seconds is required for music
    classrooms and less than 0.8 seconds for small practice / group rooms
