Abstract:
In a Finnish-Swedish consortium project, a large amount of sound insulation tests was conducted for several intermediate floors in laboratory conditions to serve various scientific research questions. The dataset contains 30 wooden and 8 concrete constructions which are commonly used between apartments in multistorey buildings. Impact sound insulation was determined according to ISO 10140-3 standard using both tapping machine and rubber ball as standard sound sources. Airborne sound insulation was determined according to the ISO 10140-2 standard. The data are special since they have a broad frequency range: 20-5000 Hz. Data are reported in 1/3-octave frequency bands and the single-number values of ISO 717-1 and ISO 717-2 are also reported. Detailed construction drawings are available for all reported constructions. The data are highly valuable for research, education, and development purposes since all data were obtained in the same laboratory (Turku University of Applied Sciences, Turku, Finland), and all the constructions were built by the same installation team.
