Acoustics — Field measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements — Part 2: Impact sound insulation

This document specifies procedures to determine the impact sound insulation using sound pressure measurements with an impact source operating on a floor or stairs in a building. These procedures are intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m3 to 250 m3 in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 000 Hz. The test results can be used to quantify, assess and compare the impact sound insulation in unfurnished or furnished rooms where the sound field may or may not approximate to a diffuse field.

Acoustique — Mesurage in situ de l'isolation acoustique des bâtiments et des éléments de construction — Partie 2: Isolation des bruits d'impacts

Le présent document spécifie les modes opératoires permettant de déterminer l'isolation des bruits d'impacts à l'aide de mesurages de la pression acoustique avec une source d'impacts agissant sur un sol ou sur un escalier à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. Ces modes opératoires s'appliquent aux pièces dont le volume est compris entre 10 m3 et 250 m3 et dont la fréquence est comprise entre 50 Hz et 5 000 Hz. Les résultats des essais peuvent être utilisés pour quantifier, évaluer et comparer l'isolation des bruits d'impacts dans des pièces non meublées ou meublées où le champ acoustique peut, ou ne peut pas, être assimilé à un champ diffus.

ISO 16283-2:2020(E)

Introduction
ISO 16283 (all parts) describes procedures for field measurements of sound insulation in buildings.
Airborne, impact and façade sound insulation are described in ISO 16283-1, this document (ISO 16283-2)
and ISO 16283-3, respectively.
1) 2)
Field sound insulation measurements that were described previously in ISO 140-4 , ISO 140-5 , and
3)
ISO 140-7 were a) primarily intended for measurements where the sound field could be considered
to be diffuse, and b) not explicit as to whether operators could be present in the rooms during the
measurement. ISO 16283 (all parts) differs from ISO 140-4, ISO 140-5, and ISO 140-7 in that:
a) it applies to rooms in which the sound field may or may not approximate to a diffuse field;
b) it clarifies how operators can measure the sound field using a hand-held microphone or sound
level meter;
4)
c) it includes additional guidance that was previously contained in ISO 140-14 .
NOTE Survey test methods for field measurements of airborne and impact sound insulation are dealt with in
ISO 10052.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball. These impact sources do
not exactly replicate all possible types of real impacts on floors or stairs in buildings.
The tapping machine can be used to assess a variety of light, hard impacts such as footsteps from
walkers wearing hard-heeled footwear or dropped objects. A single number quantity can be calculated
using the rating procedures in ISO 717-2. This single number quantity links the measured impact
sound insulation using the tapping machine to subjective assessment of general impacts in dwellings
that occur on floors or stairs in a building. The tapping machine is also well-suited to the prediction
of impact sound insulation using ISO 12354-2. These two aspects facilitate the specification of impact
sound insulation in national building requirements using only measurements with the tapping machine
as an impact source.
The rubber ball can be used to assess heavy, soft impacts such as from walkers in bare feet or children
jumping, as well as quantifying absolute values that can be related to human disturbance in terms of a
Fast time-weighted maximum sound pressure level.

ISO 16283-2:2020(F)

Introduction
L’ISO 16283 (toutes les parties) décrit les méthodes de mesure in situ de l’isolation acoustique des
bâtiments. L’isolation des bruits aériens, celle des bruits d’impacts et celle des bruits de façades sont
décrites respectivement dans l’ISO 16283-1, le présent document (ISO 16283-2) et l’ISO 16283-3.
1)
Les mesurages de l’isolation acoustique in situ qui ont été décrits précédemment dans l’ISO 140-4 ,
2) 3)
dans l’ISO 140-5 , et dans l’ISO 140-7 présentent deux limites: a) ils sont avant tout applicables à des
pièces au sein desquelles le champ acoustique peut être considéré comme diffus et b) ils ne précisent
pas si les opérateurs peuvent rester dans les pièces au cours des mesurages. L’ISO 16283 (toutes les
parties) diffère de l’ISO 140-4, de l’ISO 140-5 et de l’ISO 140-7 en ce:
a) qu’elle s’applique aux pièces dans lesquelles le champ acoustique peut, ou ne peut pas, être assimilé
à un champ diffus;
b) qu’elle clarifie la manière dont les opérateurs peuvent mesurer le champ acoustique à l’aide d’un
microphone portatif ou d’un sonomètre;
c) qu’elle inclut des recommandations supplémentaires qui étaient précédemment contenues dans
4)
l’ISO 140-14 .
NOTE Les méthodes d’essai de contrôle des mesurages in situ de l’isolation des bruits aériens, des bruits
d’impacts et des bruits de façades sont décrites dans l’ISO 10052.
Deux sources d’impacts sont décrites: la machine à chocs et la balle en caoutchouc. Ces sources d’impacts
ne reproduisent pas exactement tous les types possibles d’impacts réels sur les sols ou escaliers à
l’intérieur des bâtiments.
La machine à chocs peut être utilisée pour évaluer toute une variété d’impacts légers et durs tels que
des pas de personnes marchant avec des talons durs ou des chutes d’objets. Un indice unique peut être
calculé à l’aide des méthodes d’évaluation spécifiées dans l’ISO 717-2. Cet indice unique relie l’isolation
des bruits d’impacts mesurée au moyen de la machine à chocs à une évaluation subjective des impacts
généraux dans les locaux à usage d’habitation qui se produisent sur les sols ou escaliers à l’intérieur d’un
bâtiment. La machine à chocs est également bien adaptée pour prédire l’isolation des bruits d’impacts
selon l’ISO 12354-2. Ces deux aspects facilitent la spécification de l’isolation des bruits d’impacts dans
les exigences nationales relatives à la construction, en utilisant seulement la machine à chocs comme
source d’impacts pour les mesurages.
La balle en caoutchouc peut être utilisée pour évaluer les impacts lourds et souples, tels que des
personnes marchant pieds nus ou des enfants qui sautent, ainsi que pour quantifier les valeurs absolues
pouvant être liées aux perturbations humaines en termes de niveau de pression acoustique maximal
pondéré en temps rapide.

Introduction
ISO 16283 (all parts) describes procedures for field measurements of sound insulation in buildings.
Airborne, impact and façade sound insulation are described in ISO 16283-1, this document (ISO 16283-2)
and ISO 16283-3, respectively.
1) 2)
Field sound insulation measurements that were described previously in ISO 140-4 , ISO 140-5 , and
3)
ISO 140-7 were a) primarily intended for measurements where the sound field could be considered
to be diffuse, and b) not explicit as to whether operators could be present in the rooms during the
measurement. ISO 16283 (all parts) differs from ISO 140-4, ISO 140-5, and ISO 140-7 in that:
a) it applies to rooms in which the sound field may or may not approximate to a diffuse field;
b) it clarifies how operators can measure the sound field using a hand-held microphone or sound
level meter;
4)
c) it includes additional guidance that was previously contained in ISO 140-14 .
NOTE Survey test methods for field measurements of airborne and impact sound insulation are dealt with in
ISO 10052.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball. These impact sources do
not exactly replicate all possible types of real impacts on floors or stairs in buildings.
The tapping machine can be used to assess a variety of light, hard impacts such as footsteps from
walkers wearing hard-heeled footwear or dropped objects. A single number quantity can be calculated
using the rating procedures in ISO 717-2. This single number quantity links the measured impact
sound insulation using the tapping machine to subjective assessment of general impacts in dwellings
that occur on floors or stairs in a building. The tapping machine is also well-suited to the prediction
of impact sound insulation using ISO 12354-2. These two aspects facilitate the specification of impact
sound insulation in national building requirements using only measurements with the tapping machine
as an impact source.
The rubber ball can be used to assess heavy, soft impacts such as from walkers in bare feet or children
jumping, as well as quantifying absolute values that can be related to human disturbance in terms
of a Fast time-weighted maximum sound pressure level. Calculation procedures for a single number
quantity do not currently exist in an International Standard.

mechanized continuously moving microphone
microphone that is mechanically moved with approximately constant angular speed in a circle, or is
mechanically swept along a circular path where the angle of rotation about a fixed axis is between 270°
and 360°
3.9
manually scanned microphone
microphone attached to a hand-held sound level meter or an extension rod that is moved by a human
operator along a prescribed path
3.10
manually held microphone
microphone attached to a hand-held sound level meter or a rod that is hand-held at a fixed position by a
human operator at a distance of at least an arm’s length from the trunk of the operator’s body
3.11
partition
total surface of the floor or stair which is excited by the impact source
Note 1 to entry: For two rooms which are staggered vertically or horizontally, the total surface of the separating
partition is not visible from both sides of the partition; hence it is necessary to define the partition as the total
surface.
3.12
common partition
part of the floor or stair that is common to both the room in which the impact source is used and the
receiving room
3.13
standardized impact sound pressure level
L′
nT
energy-average impact sound pressure level (L ) (3.1), reduced by a correction term that is given in
i
decibels, being ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of the measured reverberation time (T)
(3.5), to the reference reverberation time, T , which is calculated using Formula (1) when the impact

Note 1 to entry: L′ is expressed in decibels (dB).
nT
Note 2 to entry: The impact sound pressure level is referenced to a reverberation time (3.5) of 0,5 s because, in
dwellings with furniture, the reverberation time has been found to be reasonably independent of volume and
frequency and to be approximately equal to 0,5 s.
Note 3 to entry: L′ provides a straightforward link to the subjective impression of impact sound insulation.

3.14
equivalent absorption area
A
hypothetical area of a totally absorbing surface without diffraction effects which, if it were the only
absorbing element in the room, would give the same reverberation time (3.5) as the room under
