Sound transmission loss measurement of railway vehicle floor using semi-reverberation room

간이잔향실을 이용한 철도차량 바닥재의 음향투과손실 측정

This study is to examine the sound transmission loss of a railway vehicle floor. To this end, a semi-reverberation room was constructed. The semi-reverberation room was made of a railway vehicle floor between the sound radiating chamber and the sound receiving chamber. To block the sound, the wall was made of acryl, urethane foam, wood, and glass fiber. The test followed the KS F 2808 standard, and a typical reverberation room was used to verify the performance of the semi-reverberation room. As a result, comparison of the measurements showed that the test results of the semi-reverberation room had the same tendency as those of the reverberation room. Consequently it was possible to measure the sound transmission loss of railway vehicle structures using the semi-reverberation room.
