Isolation

Question 1

what to consider

Answer 1

Mass
Airtight construction
Flanking paths

Question 2

Why do we consider these two things

Answer 2

Because it takes airtight construction decoupling from structure and mass to keep sound within the room

Question 3

Mass Law

Answer 3

The mass law states the for every doubling of mass isolation increases with an additional 6dB

Question 4

Mass Law can be used as

Answer 4

Mass law can be used as an approximate guide to determine the amount of isolation possible

Question 5

For every octave drop in pitch what happens

Answer 5

For every octave drop in pitch sound isolation is halved

Question 6

True of false

higher frequencies are easier to isolate

Answer 6

True

Question 7

True or false

Lower frequencies are easy to isolate too

Answer 7

False

Question 8

Airtight construction

Answer 8

Where air goes = Sound goes too and vice versa

Question 9

Flanking paths

Answer 9

The transmission of sound travels through the structure of the building
