Abstract
Conventional and intensity-based sound transmission loss
measurements have frequently been compared in the literature.
Looking at published results determined under laboratory
conditions, one would come to the conclusion that it is only
possible to obtain good agreement between the two methods in a
very limited frequency range. The purpose of this paper is to
demonstrate with experimental data that excellent agreement can be
obtained in a fairly large frequency range (80 Hx to 6.3 kHz)
provided that the measurement are carried out in adequate
facilities. As pointed out by several researchers, the only reason
for systematic deviations between the two methods is the effect of
having a partition that is highly absorbing in the receiving room.
