Introduction
ISO 16283 (all partsJ de,scribesprocedures for field measurements of sound insulation in buildings.
f_if9r1e, impact and fagade sound insulation are described in ISO 162g3-1, ISO 76283-2 and
ISO16283-3,respectively.
Field sound insulation measurementsthat were described previously in ISO 140-4, ISO 140-5, and
ISo 140-7 were a) primarily intended for measurements wh-erethe sbund field could be considered
?i to be diffuse, and b) not explicit as to whether operators could be present in the rooms during the
o
E measurement.ISO 16283 (all parts) differs from ISOt40-4,lSO 140-5,and tSOL40-7 in that a) it ap=plies
-c
e to rooms in which the sound field might, or might not approximate to a diffuse field, b) it cljrifiei how
o

operators can measure the sound field using a hand-held microphone or sound levei meter and c) it

It is recommended to check that the sound level meter does not introduce spurious signals when
pressing buttons which start, pause or stop the measurement.

Operators are a potential source of background noise when using a) fixed microphone positions where
the operator remains inside the receiving room, b) manually-held microphones or c) manually-scanned
microphones.Self-generatednoise from the operator can result from sourcessuch as clothing, shoes,or
arm/knee joints. For a), b) and c), the operator shall use at least one of the following three methods to
try and identify self-generatednoise in the receiving room: 1) the time history of the A-weighted sound
pressure level (Fast time weighting) to look for unusual transient events,2) the difference between the
maximum sound pressure level with Fasttime weighting and the equivalent continuous sound pressure
level in frequencybands to indicateunusualtransient events,and 3) their own hearing,but only when
hearing protection is not required and not used. Using one or more of these methods the operator shall

ensure that self-generatednoise due to their movement and activity during the sound pressure level

of L's and / or L 1 and f ot L i,Fmax,v,T.

NOTE 1 In small room volumes there are relatively few room modes that determine the decay curve in the
50 Hz, 63 Hz and 80 Hz bands. Hencethe use of 20 dB or 30 dB evaluation ranges on the decay curves from one-
third octave bands are prone to error becausesingle-slopedecay curves usually only occur when there are many
modes in each frequency band. This issue can be partly resolved through use ofthe 53 Hz octave band filter.

NOTE 2 In timber- or steel-frame buildings with gypsum or timber board linings the reverberation times in
the 50 H2,63 Hz and 80 Hz bands can be sufficiently short that the decay curve is affected by the decay time of
the one-third octave band filters in the analyser.This can be avoided by using a 63 Hz octave band filter due to its
wider bandwidth which allows the measurement of shorter reverberation times.

D.5.1 Measurements of impactsound insulation from a corridor

Impact sound insulation measurements from a corridor to a room on the same storey or the storey
below should be carried out by placing the tapping machine on a limited area of the corridor close to
the receiving room. The area used should be the full width of the corridor and a length correspo-nding_
to an area oiapproximately 10 m2. Four tapping machine positions should be used, and the number of
positions
