SOUND OR NOISE?
SOUND: when this pressure wave reaches our ear, the signal is translated
through a complex series of organs into a nervous stimulus and finally
becomes the feeling of sound we experience everyday.
NOISE is related to the subjective judgement of a listening experience; LOW FREQUENCY SOUND
it is commonly defined as an unwanted sound that disturbs the ongoing
activities in our daily lives. λ
ACOUSTICS AND PERCEPTION

Measuring a sound means measuring a variation of sound pressure: lower frequency
pressure is a force per unit area and its unit of measure is the pascal (Pa).
Frequency, wavelength and speed are linked by mathematical relation-

ships. HIGH-FREQUENCY SOUND

ACOUSTICS
AND LIVING
Acoustics is the science that deals with sound and architectural acous-
tics covers the behaviour of the sound field within an enclosed space,
represented by the indoor environments of buildings.
LIVING COMFORT
In building acoustics, sound is divided into two categories, depending on
the mode of transmission:
AIRBORNE NOISE: the medium carrying the sound energy is air.
STRUCTURAL NOISE: the sound crosses the structure carrying the vi-
brations from room to room, even when not contiguous.
Wooden structures, like all lightweight constructions, do not have a

high acoustic performance at low frequencies. This is particularly true
concerning impact sounds and the transmission of structural vibration
through the structure. For this purpose, we must stop the propagation of
vibrations in order to obtain a reduction of noise transmission using re-
silient products employed according to the principle of desolidarisation.
DESOLIDARISATION: construction technique or action which keeps el-

ements isolated or separated when contact would allow the transmis-
sion of vibrations and, therefore, noise.
RESILIENT PRODUCTS: elastic separating layers between rigid elements

whose main task is to prevent the transmission of vibrations in the build-
ing structure (e.g. impacts or noise from footsteps) to its partitions.
Working at the level of the structure allows to solve the problem at the
source, giving a greater flexibility and tolerance during processing and
modification of the subsequent layers, such as thermal and acoustic in-
sulation or coverings and various kinds of dry linings.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines the concept of health as "a state
of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence
ACOUSTIC
of disease or infirmity".
Thus, acoustic comfort is the condition in which a person’s activity is not dis-
COMFORT turbed by the presence of other sounds and no damage occurs to the hearing
system. In fact, exposure to noise causes psychological disorder and hinders
the performance of normal human activities, reducing efficiency and the ability
to concentrate.

ABSORPTION, TRANSMISSION
OR REFLECTION
When a sound wave impinges on a partition, part of the sound power
is reflected into the source room (Wr); part of it is transmitted into the
receiving room (Wt) and a third component is absorbed by the wall (Wa).
Thus the incident sound power can be expressed as:
Wa (absorbed)
Wi = Wr + Wt + Wa

It is crucial to distinguish between two different concepts and interven-
tions: sound insulation and sound absorption.
SOUND INSULATION AND ABSORPTION

The INSULATION of a partition is linked to the transmission of sound
between rooms and is inversely proportional to τ.
The SOUND ABSORPTION characterises the control over the sound

field inside a room through maximising the absorption coefficient α,
for example by decreasing the energy content of nth degree reflections
through the use of sound absorbing materials. In building acoustics, ref-
erence is generally made to the apparent sound absorption coefficient α
= (1-r). The reverberation time in an enclosed environment is closely tied
to the room’s apparent sound absorption.
REVERBERATION TIME T60 60 dB
It is the time required by a stationary sound field to decay by 60 dB after 50 dB

the sound source has been switched off. It can be estimated from Sa- 40 dB
bine’s law: T60 = 0.161 V/A.
30 dB
V is the volume of the room (m3) and A is the equivalent absorption area 20 dB
(m2), which can be obtained by multiplying each surface of the room by
10 dB
its absorption coefficient.

METRICS
IN BUILDING ACOUSTICS
Building acoustics is a branch of acoustics that deals with the control of
noise propagation in buildings. It specifically deals with the verification
and optimisation of airborne sound insulation, impact sound insulation
(or insulation against footsteps) and of building installations.
NORMALISED LEVEL DIFFERENCE

Normalised level difference D2m,nT represents the difference in dB be-
tween the average temporal space of the noise pressure level measured
externally and that measured inside the building, corresponding to a giv-
en reverberation time for the recipient environment.
D2m,nT = L1,2m - L2 + 10log(T/T0) (dB)

Where L1,2m is the external sound pressure level measured at 2 m from
the façade (dB), L2 is the sound pressure in the recipient environment
(dB), T is the reverberation time in the recipient environment (s) and T0 is
the reference reverberation time of 0,5 s.
APPARENT SOUND REDUCTION INDEX

The apparent sound reduction index R' is defined as "minus 10 times the
logarithmic relationship between the sound power transmitted into the
receiving environment and the incident sound power on the separating
element." It is commonly determined from measurements as:
R' = L1- L2 + 10log(S/A) (dB)

where L1 is the sound pressure level in the source room (dB), L2 is the
sound pressure level in the receiving room (dB), S is the area of the sepa-
rating element (m2) and A is the equivalent absorption area in the receiv-
ing room (m2).
IMPACT SOUND INSULATION

Normalised impact sound pressure Ln is the impact sound pressure level
measured in the receiving room when a standardised tapping machine
is active in the source room, corresponding to the reference equivalent
absorption area in the receiving room.
L'n = Li + 10 log(A/A0) (dB)

The impact sound pressure level can be alternatively normalised with
respect to the reverberation time of the receiving room (standardised
impact sound insulation LnT ).
Each of these parameters is expressed as a function of frequency. To

describe the behaviour of a partition with a single number, a special pro-
cedure is used (based on EN ISO 717-1 and EN ISO 717-2) that relates the
performance of the wall under analysis to a reference curve. The weight-
ed index takes the subscript W.

DIRECT AND
FLANKING TRANSMISSION
ON SITE MEASUREMENTS VS. SOUND REDUCTION INDEX R
LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS
Sound insulation measurements return significantly different results
when performed on site or in accredited laboratories. This is mainly due
to two factors: first, when partitions are mounted in the laboratory, it is
easier to control the quality of the installation. Second, on site measure-
ments are affected by the presence of flanking transmission paths.
LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS
Let’s take as an example a measurement of the sound reduction index
of a wall. In the laboratory, the test wall is installed in test chambers
expressly designed for the purpose which are structurally decoupled Dd
from each other. Therefore, the laboratory measurements characterise

the transmission through the separating wall only (direct transmission),
which is generally referred to as SOUND REDUCTION INDEX R.
ON SITE MEASUREMENTS
When this quantity is measured on site, the result is typically lower than
the value measured in a laboratory for the same wall. This occurs be- NOTE: In the description of transmission paths, capital letters repre-
cause the sound transmission between the rooms is characterised not sent the wall excited in the source room, while the lower case letters
only by direct transmission but also by flanking transmission, i.e. the represent the wall that radiates sound into the receiving room. The
direct transmission path is identified as Dd, while for instance the
contribution of the lateral walls to the propagation of sound into the re-
transmission paths in which the separating wall is the "source" and a
ceiving room. side wall radiates into the receiving room are identified as Df.
FLANKING TRANSMISSION PATHS

When a sound source is switched on in the so-called “source room”, APPARENT SOUND REDUCTION
sound induces a vibrational state in the separating wall. Part of the en- INDEX R'
ergy is radiated directly into the receiving room by the wall itself (direct
transmission, path Dd). The separating wall also transmits vibrations to
the adjacent walls, which in turn radiate energy into the receiving room
(path Df).
The sound source that excites the source room also induces a vibrational
state in the side walls. From the side walls, sound energy can be radiated
into the receiving room through two other transmission paths: through
the separating wall (Fd) or through the side walls of the receiving room
(Ff), completing the first order transmission paths.
All these flanking quantities are added to the direct sound transmission
and return to a lower value of sound insulation relative to that measured
in the lab. When R is measured on site, it is generally referred to as AP- Dd Fd
PARENT SOUND REDUCTION INDEX R‘.

Ff Df
The contribution of the flanking transmission paths can be quite signif-
icant. Since most of the current laws require the acoustic requisites to
be accomplished when measured on site, it is crucial for the acoustic
designer to properly estimate the contribution of flanking transmission.

THE CEN MODEL

The CEN model proposed in the EN ISO 12354 series of standards pro-
vides a powerful tool to predict the acoustic performance of a partition EN ISO 12354-1:2017

When using the simplified calculation model, disregarding the presence MENTS EN ISO 12354-1:2017
of small technical elements and airborne transmission paths Dn,j,w, the

ment and lij is the length of the junction between the separating wall and
flanking elements i and j, l0 being the reference coupling length of 1 m.
Among the input parameters required by the model, the sound reduc-
tion indices can be easily obtained from accredited laboratory meas-
urements or from the manufacturers of construction elements. Addi-
tionally, a number of open-access databases offer data for frequently
used construction solutions. The ΔRw can be estimated by modelling the
wall-covering combination in terms of a mass-spring-mass system (EN
ISO 12354 Annex D).
The most critical parameter to estimate is THE VIBRATION REDUCTION

INDEX Kij. This quantity represents the vibration energy dissipating into
the junction, and is associated with the structural coupling of the ele-
ments. High values of Kij generate the best junction performance. Stand-
ard EN ISO 12354 provides some predictive estimates of two standard T
and X junctions for CLT structures, which are shown on the right, but the
experimental data available is still limited.

EXAMPLES OF THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED OF T JUNCTIONS X JUNCTIONS

VIBRATIONS Dv,ij,n (ISO 12354-1:2017)
Below are some construction solutions suitable for the

XYLOFON profile. The final tables provide the values 3 4
of the difference in vibration velocity levels averaged 1
by the normalised direction. These values refer to the
2
structure without further coverings or layers.
3
ISO 12354-1:2017 introduced the use of the term Dv,ij,n
(difference in the vibration velocity level averaged by 2
1
the normalised direction) to assess flanking transmis-
sion in "type B" structures (light frame), replacing the
vibration reduction index Kij.
To use the ΔR contributions of the latter, it is possible to

make use of lab test reports, or start with the formula-
tions found in ISO 12354-1:2017 Annex D.
The norms do not consider the effects of the different

fastening systems.

the twofold aim of providing specific experimental data suitable for the influence of type and number of
acoustic design of CLT buildings and of contributing to development of screws

fore underwent different production processes, showing different char-
acteristics such as the number and thickness of the planks, the side glu- use of resilient layers

Different kinds of screws and connectors were tested, as well as different
resilient layers at the wall-floor junction.
The test set-up was arranged in the warehouse at Rothoblaas headquar-

ters in Cortaccia (prov. Bolzano).
The vibration reduction index measurements were

carried out in compliance with EN ISO 10848.

CONFIGURATION
THE MEASURING CHAIN: TOOLS AND DATA
PROCESSING
The vibration reduction index Kij is calculated as:
where
Dv,ij (Dv,ji) is the difference in vibration velocity between the elements i

and j (j and i) when element i (j) is excited (dB)
Lij is the length of the junction shared between the elements i and j and
a; are the equivalent absorption lengths elements of i and j, expressed as
a function of panel surface S, frequency f and structural reverberation
time Ts:
The source consisted of an electrodynamic shaker with sinusoidal peak

force of 200 N, which was mounted on a heavyweight base and screwed
to the CLT panels using a plate.
The velocity levels were measured using a pink noise source signal,
filtered at 30 Hz in order to get reliable results from 50 Hz onwards.
Structural reverberation times were calculated from impulse responses
acquired using ESS test signals. The accelerometers were fixed to the
panels using magnets. Eyelets were screwed to the panels with screws
whose length was at least half of the thickness of the panels, in order to
reach the innermost layer of the panel. The vibration reduction indices
are reported in the one-third octave bands ranging from 100 to 3150 Hz,
together with the value averaged over the one-third octave bands from
200 to 1250 Hz.

The following pages report the results of the experimental measurement

campaign for a selection of junctions. For each junction, the vibration re-
duction indices relative to the transmission paths involved are reported
in 1/3 octave bands in the 100-3150 Hz range. Additionally, an average val-
ue (200-1250 Hz) is provided, which can be used for the simplified meth-
od, being careful to remember the limitations of using this method.
Most of the data were directly measured.
The results reported here are generally not based on a single measurement, but
are averages obtained from a combination of measurements made for the same
fastening system. EXPERIMENTAL
One example is given by the vertical X junctions. It was observed that there are
slight differences between transmission paths 1-2 and 2-3 due to the fact that
MEASUREMENTS
the screws inserted in panel 2 also reach panel 3. In any case, given the uncer-
tainties related to installation, difficult to control on site, this catalogue offers an OF Kij
average value between paths 1-2 (K12) and between 2-3 (K23).
Another example involves the analysis of the panels obtained by seven different
manufacturers. Given the discrepancies between the Kij values measured using
the same fastening system but with panels from different manufacturers, the
values provided in this catalogue represent an average value obtained from the
various tests. This choice was made in order to return stable data that can take
into account mounting tolerances and other variable factors, given that the goal
of the catalogue is to serve as an acoustic design tool.

REALIZE HOW TO INTUITIVELY, FASTLY AND EASILY DESIGN
MY PROJECT is the practical and trustworthy software application for wood-structure design professionals: from the
check of metal connections to the thermo-hygrometric analyses of opaque components, up to the design of the
most suitable acoustic solution.
+ Modules for calculation and check of metal connections

+ Module for thermo-hygrometric checks (THERMAL)
+ Acoustic module for soundproofing calculation and related solutions
+ Option to export the project in CAD format
+ Declaration of performance accesseible from the interface
+ Personalised calculation report Discover the new Acoustics module ›
MY PROJECT • Designing of the soundproofing solutions within different project fre-
quencies
Soundproofing: resilient pro- • Calculation of the vibration reduction index to the EN ISO 12354
files and lateral transmission standard
• Calculation of the resilient profile (XYLOFON and ALADIN STRIPE) and its
projection on a printable plan to allow correct installation
• Possibility for calculation of both timber frame and CLT structures
• Import of .dxf files with automatic retrievement of wall and dimension
data
• Print of complete technical computation report and performance
graphs
Choose the building system, input the

1
data for wall and slab loads and con-
clude with the project specifications.
Import the .dxf file of the surface
2
where XYLOFON will be placed
and compute the analysis of the
Kij parameter (vibration reduction
index).
The software recognises the di-

3
mension of vertical elements:
once the permanent load of walls
has been integrated within, the
software suggests the correct
resilient profile to be used.
At this point the software displays

4
the mechanical characterisation
graphs, evaluating both the trans-
missibility of the material and its vi-
bration softening.
The software carries over the

5
various profiles into the drawing
marking them with different col-
ours, so to make the on-site laying
extremely easy.
Choose the settings of the con-

6

XYLOFON AND FIRE

Over the last few years, an architectural need to keep CLT visible for aes-
thetic reasons has developed. In this case, the XYLOFON product should
be placed slightly set back from the wood surface, creating a shadow
effect. In this configuration, XYLOFON contributes to the structure's fire
resistance.
To test this feature, tests were performed to characterise its airtightness

and fire insulation behaviour (EI) at ETH Zürich and the Institute of Struc-
tural Engineering (IBK) & Swiss Timber Solutions AG.
TEST SAMPLES

TEST SET-UP
It was decided to test both XYLOFON on its own and the product with
two different flame retardant sealants. The sample was prepared by di-

During assembly, thermocouples were inserted to record the change 1200

also compared to the standardised EN ISO curve. The graph at the right 800

CONSIDERATIONS
Given the smaller size of the panels, it was decided to use Dv,ij,n as the
index, given that only geometric dimensions are used to average out the
difference in vibration speed levels.
Precisely due to the small size, use of Kij as the comparison parameter is
not recommended, given the effect of internal resonance between the Dvi,jn (125-1000Hz) Dvi,jn (125-1000Hz)

As part of the Seismic Rev project, in cooperation with the University
of Trento and CNR IVALSA, preliminary assessment was done of the
mechanical behaviour of the TITAN product when paired with various
soundproofing profiles.
EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
TEST SAMPLES
During the experimental stage, monotone tests were carried out using
linear load procedures with displacement control, aimed at assessing the CLT panels
change in ultimate resistance and stiffness offered by the connection. (Cross Laminated Timber)
The test set-up was designed so as to highlight the behaviour of the resistance class C24

LBA Ø4x60 mm
NUMERIC MODELLING
The results of the preliminary investigation highlighted the importance of
performing more detailed analysis on the influence of the sound-insulat-
ing profiles on the mechanical behaviour of TITAN angle brackets. This
led to the decision to carry out further assessments using finite elements
numeric modelling. In the case under study, the effect on mechanical
behaviour caused by the three different resilient profiles was analysed:
XYLOFON 35 (6 mm), ALADIN STRIPE SOFT (5 mm) and ALADIN STRIPE Displacement Tx [mm] for displacement induced by the steel
EXTRA SOFT (7 mm). plate equal to 8 mm
In the initial stage, advanced numeric analysis was carried out to assess
the influence of the acoustic profiles, placed between the steel plate and
the wood, on the behaviour of a single 4x60 mm LBA nail.
In the second stage, two types of TITAN connections were analysed, to

investigate the influence of the acoustic profiles on the resistance value
and global stiffness of the devices themselves. Displacement Tx [mm] for displacement induced equal to 10 mm

The results obtained indicate a reduction in the resistance and stiffness of

the devices following the insertion of the sound-insulating profiles. This
change is heavily dependent on the thickness of the profile. To limit the
EXPERIMENTAL
reduction in force and stiffness to around 20%, profiles must be selected
with real thicknesses less than or equal to 6 mm, approximately. RESULTS

Fibrous and open cell materials allow for air to pass within them. In gen-

EN ISO 12354-2 makes it possible to obtain the ∆Lw value of impact sound LOAD (m’),

fundamental for this theoretical calculation phase.

∆Lw = 30log ( f / f0 ) + 3 (dB)
EN ISO 12354-2 contains graphs which

f0 = 160 √ (s'/m') (Hz) is clear that the relationship can be sim-
plified to a linear trend, which provides
immediate guidance in selecting the
proper product for the specific case.
As an alternative to the above formula, the following one can be used
directly:
∆Lw = 13log ( m'2 ) - 14,2log ( s' ) + 20,8 (dB)

(this formula is used in example 2 in the following pages)

The formulas are also valid for calculating attenuation of the frequency,

FLOATING INSTALLATION
THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR

EVERY FLOOR
Today, installation of floors involves the following standards and guide-
lines: DID YOU KNOW...?
CEN/TS 16354: European Commission document outlining the as-
sessment criteria and measurement methods for the characteristics
of the screed with floating installation. The two technical notebooks issued by
EPLF technical notebook MMFA and EPLF precisely define the mini-
mum limits that a product used in floating
MMFA technical notebook installation must comply with, indicating
the optimal limit for the specific function.
Below are the properties of floor sub-layers, followed by the recom-

mended limits.
ACOUSTIC REQUIREMENTS: IS, RWS
IS
IMPACT SOUND NOISE INSULATION
Assessed through laboratory testing, the evaluation of the impact noise
insulation consists of measuring the impact noise transmitted by a struc-
ture before and after the screed is inserted. The index ΔLw expresses the
difference in decibels between the two tests. The greater the value of
ΔLw, the lower the transmission of noises to the underlying room.
RWS
REFLECTED WALKING SOUND
The noise of footsteps heard inside the source room can be defined as
reverberation, which can be significantly reduced through the use of an
appropriate screed. The "drum sound" indicates the level of reflected
noise generated by a floating floor, when an impact source (like steps)
acts upon the surface. The drum sound is measured in sones. The lower
the value expressed in sones, the better the acoustic performance of the
acoustic layer.

IS Impact sound noise insulation IS ≥ 14 dB IS ≥ 18 dB IS ≥ 10 dB IS ≥ 18 dB
RWS Reflected walking sound NOT AVAILABLE NOT AVAILABLE NOT AVAILABLE NOT AVAILABLE
146 | FLOATING INSTALLATION | SOUNDPROOFING FOILS

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: PC, SD, Rλ ,B , Rλ
PC
CONFORMABILITY
Ability of the screed to compensate for any small irregularities in the
foundation. In general, the softer the screed, the greater the material
conformability. This property is very important, especially when working
with existing constructions, or when thin floors are used which could be
damaged by a harder sub-layer.
SD
PROTECTION FROM RISING DAMP
In the case of mineral foundations, protection against humidity is funda-
mental to prevent damage to the floor due to rising damp. This capacity
is expressed with the Sd index (water vapour permeability) and is meas-
ured in metres. The greater the Sd value, the lower the permeability to
humidity.
Rλ,B
IN-FLOOR COOLING OR HEATING SYSTEM
In general, floating floors are appropriate for use with in-floor cooling
or heating systems. For both of these to work, the screed must have the
lowest possible thermal insulation value to avoid blocking heat transfer.
Hence, the total sum of the screed and laminate floor (R λ,B) must be as
low as possible.
Rλ
THERMAL INSULATION
In general, floors have limited thermal insulation capacity. In the case
of an unheated substrate, screeds with high thermal resistance (R λ) can
increase the thermal insulation characteristics of the floor system. In this
way, the surface temperature increases, reducing the sensation of a "cold
floor" and protecting the finish from excessive swings in temperature.

USE REQUIREMENTS: DL, CC, CS, RLB
DL
DYNAMIC STRESS FROM IMPACT SOUNDS
The greater the number of cycles at a given force required to cause
crushing of the screed, the greater the material's resistance to dynamic
loads.
CC
STRESS DURING STATIC LOADS
In this case, the reference is to viscous sliding or creep. The greater the
force (expressed in kPa) necessary to produce deformation exceeding
0,5 mm, the better the product’s resistance to creep.
CS
TEMPORARY STRESS FROM LOADS
When the floor is subjected to concentrated loads, both the batten and
the interlocking mechanism must resist excessive deformation and con-
sequent breakage. The greater the pressure (expressed in kPa) necessary
to obtain a given level of deformation (0,5 mm), the better the product’s
resistance to compression.
RLB
IMPACT RESISTANCE
To reduce the risk of surface damage to a minimum, the material used for
acoustic insulation in the under floor must be more than able to absorb
high forces for short times. The greater the RLB value (impact stress ex-
pressed in centimetres), the greater the floor protection level.

Modern doors and windows, as well as materials for building envelopes,
have undergone major developments over the years in terms of energy
and acoustic performance. The most delicate aspect is the connection
between the elements, which is crucial in preventing the formation of
condensation and mould and maintaining suitable noise insulation.
PRIMARY NODE AND SECONDARY NODE THREE LEVELS OF PROTECTION
When planning window/door frame installation, it is good practice to The three level method, conventional-
base it around the primary and secondary node. ly used in most of Europe, identifies the

TIPS FOR PROPER SEALING

1. Shake the can at least 15-20 times
before use, preferably in a hori-
5 °C 6. If temperatures are not suitable,
heat or cool the can using hot or
zontal position. cold water.
15-20
2. The surfaces must be solid, dry,

clean and free of grease, dust, 7. Any foam residues from previous
applications must be removed be-
chipped parts, wax, old paint resi- fore inserting the sealant into the
due, rust, etc. gun.
3. Dampen the surface well before

applying the foam. Use around 1 8. To avoid damaging the connection
thread of the can, place it horizon-
dl of water for the entire can. tally and slowly screw it onto the
gun.
1 dl
4. Take care not to fill the opening

with foam beyond the halfway 9. After use, carefully clean any foam
residue from the gun. If it hardens,
point. If sufficiently humidified, the it could become unusable.
foam will double in size, approxi-
mately.
20 °C 5. The ideal temperature of use is

approx. 20°C. Below this temper-
ature, expansion is slowed, while
at higher temperatures, the foam
may loose effectiveness.

BG1 - BG2 - BGR SELF-EXPANDING TAPES

Self-expanding tapes are products generally obtained from expanded polyurethane foam.
They are ideal for filling in irregular cracks that need to maintain high elasticity over time.
Expansion times depend on the temperature at the work site. Providing excellent thermal-acoustic insulation, they can be
more or less resistant to water vapour and heavy rain.
DIN 18542:2009 identifies the fields of application for self-expanding tapes, classifying them into 3 categories:
OUT BG1
Suitable for external use, including exposure to UV rays. Permeable to vapour.
Creates an impermeable junction for pressures exceeding 600 Pa.
600 Pa IN
OUT BG2
Suitable for external use, if not directly exposed to UV rays. Permeable to vapour.
Creates an impermeable junction for pressures exceeding 300 Pa.
300 Pa IN
IN BGR
Not suitable for external use. Impermeable to air and vapour.
