Test Date 12/16/15
Report Date 02/08/16
Project Scope
Architectural Testing, Inc., a subsidiary of Intertek (Intertek-ATI), was contracted to conduct
airborne sound transmission loss and impact sound transmission research measurements. The
complete test data is included as attachments to this research report. The client provided the test
specimen. The specimen was constructed on the date of testing.
Test Methods
The acoustical tests were not conducted in accordance to any established testing standards. The
testing procedure was developed by the client.
Test Procedure
All testing was conducted in the VT test chambers at Intertek-ATI located in York,
Pennsylvania. The microphones were calibrated before conducting the tests.
The airborne transmission loss measurements were made with reference to the procedure used
in the ASTM E 90 test method using the single direction method. Two background noise sound
pressure level and five sound absorption measurements were conducted at each of five
microphone positions. Four sound pressure level measurements were made simultaneously in
both rooms, at each of five microphone positions.
The impact sound transmissionmeasurements were made using a procedure developed by the
client. Two background noise sound pressure level measurements and five sound absorption
measurements were conducted at each of five microphone positions. Several impact sound
pressure level measurements were conducted with a tapping machine exciting each of the floor
zones separately.
The air temperature and relative humidity conditions were monitored and recorded during all
measurements.

INTRODUCTION
This report gives the results of an Impact Sound Transmission Loss Test and
Classification of flooring on gypsum concrete over a Sound Control Mat on a wood joist
floor/ceiling assembly. The floor/ceiling assembly was supplied and installed by Intertek.
The gypsum topping and the acoustical mat underlayment were supplied by the client.
The sample appeared to be in a new, unused condition.

Measurement of Impact Sound Transmission through Floor-Ceiling Assemblies Using the
Tapping Machine". It was classified in accordance with ASTM E989-2006, entitled,
"Standard Classification for Determination of Impact Insulation Class (IIC)".
The volume of the receiving room was 283 m3.

GENERAL
The method is designed to measure the impact sound transmission performance of a floor-
ceiling assembly, in a controlled laboratory environment. A standard tapping machine
(Bruel & Kjaer Type 3207) was placed at four positions on a test floor that forms the
horizontal separation between two rooms, one directly above the other. The data obtained
was normalized to a reference room absorption of 10 square meters in accordance with the
test method.
The standard also prescribes a single-figure classification rating called "Impact Insulation
Class, IIC" which can be used by architects, builders and code authorities for acoustical
design purposes in building construction.
The IIC is obtained by matching a standard reference contour to the plotted normalized
one-third octave band sound pressure levels at each test frequency. The greater the IIC
rating, the lower the impact sound transmission through the floor-ceiling assembly
DESCRIPTION OF THE FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLY
The test floor is a 100 sq. ft. opening that forms the horizontal separation of the two
rooms, one directly above the other. The materials used in the assembly from top to
bottom are:
• 0.75 inch thick LevelRock® 2500 Gypsum Concrete
• SAM-N12T" acoustical mat
• 5/8 inch thick tongue & groove OSB decking (glued and nailed)
• 2 X10 inch dimensional lumber joists (spaced 16 in. o.c.)
• 3.5 inch, R-13 batt insulation installed at the top of the cavities
• Dietrich RC Deluxe Resilient Channels (spaced 16 in. o.c.) fastened at every
intersection
• One layer of 5/8 inch thick USG Type C Gypsum Board (taped and finished with
compound) (fastened with 1 inch screws12 inches o.c.)
FINISH FLOORING
Marmoleum Decibel Sheet Vinyl (0.119 inch thick) installed floating. The

TEST METHOD
The specimen was tested in general accordance with the American Society for Testing
and Materials designation ASTM E90-09, "Standard Test Method for Laboratory
Measurement of Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions and
Elements", and classified in accordance with the American Society for Testing and
Materials designation ASTM E413-10, "Classification for Rating Sound Insulation". The
size of the source room for the measurements is smaller than the minimum of 80 m3.
This leads to slightly elevated uncertainties in the measurement data at low frequencies
and does not allow microphones to be placed in full accordance with section A.2.
The volume of the receiving room was 80 m3.

GENERAL
The sound-insulating property of a partition element is expressed in terms of the sound
transmission loss. The procedure for determining this quantity is to mount (and
perimeter seal) the test specimen as a partition between two reverberation rooms.
Sound is introduced in one of the rooms (the source room) and measurements are
made of the noise reduction between source room and receiving room. The rooms are
so arranged and constructed that the only significant sound transmission between them
is through the test specimen.
The purpose of the Sound Transmission Class (STC) is to provide a single figure rating
that can be used for comparing the sound-insulating properties of partition elements
used for general building design purposes. The higher the rating (STC) the greater the
sound insulating properties of the partition.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLY
The test floor is a 100 sq. ft. opening that forms the horizontal separation of the two
rooms, one directly above the other. The materials used in the assembly from top to
bottom are:
• 0.75 inch thick LevelRoce 2500 Gypsum Concrete
• SAM-N12TM acoustical mat
• 5/8 inch thick tongue & groove OSB decking (glued and nailed)
• 2 X10 inch dimensional lumber joists (spaced 16 in. o.c.)
• 3.5 inch, R-13 batt insulation installed at the top of the cavities
• Dietrich RC Deluxe Resilient Channels (spaced 16 in. o.c.) fastened at every
intersection
• One layer of 5/8 inch thick USG Type C Gypsum Board (taped and finished with
compound) (fastened with 1 inch screwsl2 inches o.c.)
