Abstract
This study investigated the influence of absorber location in a typical Chinese dwelling layout consisting of one living room and two bedrooms on outdoor noise attenuation at 100–200 Hz. In-situ measurements were performed to compare the noise attenuation of the absorbers installed in different rooms, boundaries, and near-far positions towards the sound source (except for the floor). The results show that for a room with an absorber, absorption evenly distributed in the living room has considerable noise reduction for other connected rooms, but the least for itself (5 dB). With unevenly distributed absorption, the primarily attenuated position is situated in the living room or bedroom farthest from the source. For the absorbent boundary, the room whose noise reduction was most affected by the absorbent boundary (by 4 dB) remained the same as the orientation to the source changed. For the near, middle, and far absorbent positions, the middle placement in the living room tended to provide the greatest noise reduction for the entire layout (6 dB) and each room. Designing choices for a strategic absorber arrangement for precise and efficient low-frequency noise attenuation in layouts are provided.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
