with Answers |Latest 2024
Sound intensity is measured in... - ✔✔Decibels
Controlling sound within a given room/area - ✔✔NRC (noise
reduction commission)

(sound transmission class)
Sound absorption depends on: - ✔✔thickness of the porous material
size and number of pores
frequency of the sound
What does the sound transmission class do: - ✔✔Deals with the design
and use of construction materials to control the noise transmission through
walls, floors, ceilings, doors, window openings
