SIR determination for TL versus f plot of Figure 12.12.Solution( )m8in.SIR 8in. = SIR 5in. + 20 logm 4in.( ) 92= 45 + 20 log = 49.5 dB55Table 12.2 gives the SIR values of a number of structural elements.12.12 Noise Reduction of a WallLet us consider two rooms that are acoustically separated by a partition of area S win Figure 12.14. L p1 and L p2 denote the spatially averaged values of the soundpressure levels in room 1 and room 2, respectively. We assume the noise sourcein room 1 produces a purely reverberant field near the partition. This occurs if thesound pressure level can be described by Equation (11.23):( ) 4L p1 = L w1 + 10 logR 1where 4/R 1 ≫ Q/(4πr 2 ), R 1 is the room constant of room 1, and r the distancefrom the source in room 1 to the position of measured L p1 . This assumption permitsus to simplify the analysis by assuming a constant sound pressure over the entirearea of the dividing wall.
