A 10 times increase in sound intensity is defined as a Bel (named after Alexander Graham Bell); 4 Bels represent a 10,000 times increase in sound intensity. A decibel is 1/10th a Bel; 40 dB equal 4 Bels. A 1dB change in sound intensity is just noticeable; most humans can distinguish a 3dB change and consider a 10dB change as twice or half loud.

Air Gap: For effective absorption of sound energy, the sound wave should pass through the absorbent material during its maximum velocity (quarter-wavelength). The speed of sound is zero when it meets a rigid barrier such as the backing wall of a sound absorbing material. Increasing the thickness of the sound absorber or providing an air gap between the absorber and wall will improve absorption. Broadband sound: A spectrum of sound consisting of a large number of frequencies, none of which is dominant. Diffraction: The change in direction of sound resulting from a discontinuity of a boundary (say, an open door). Diffusion: A means to distribute sound energy in equally probable directions. .00 .05 0.15 .40 .15 EN 13501-1 Echo: A return of sound that is perceived as a discrete sound. .05 .10 .30 .55 .20 EN 13501-1 Flanking transmission: The transmission of sound by an unintended path. .20 .35 .50 .65 .40 EN 13501-1 Frequency: The number of back and forth vibrations of air molecules (cycles) that occur in a second; expressed as Hertz (Hz). Sometimes known as pitch. Hearing: The ability of the human ear to translate changes from ambient atmospheric pressure caused by sound energy into a signal recognizable by the brain. Sensitivity to sound depends upon its frequency and energy. The audible range of frequency for humans is 20Hz to 20,000Hz, provided that at least 0 dB of sound intensity (the threshold of hearing) is present. In phase: Sound waves that reach their peak compressions (and rarefactions) at the same time. Insulation: The ability of material to prevent sound from reaching a location either by reflection back to the sound source or by acoustic resistance. Inverse-square law: Sound intensity (sound energy per unit of area) varies inversely with the square of the distance from its source. Sound intensity decreases 6 dB for each doubling of the distance from its source. Noise: Unwanted sound having no utility which may be airborne or structure-borne. Like a pollutant, noise needs to be limited and controlled to diminish its negative physiological, psychological, behavioral and cognitive affects. Noise reduction coefficient (NRC): The arithmetical average, expressed as a decimal to the nearest .05, of the sound absorption coefficients at 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 2000Hz. Octave: A doubling or halving of frequency. 20Hz-40Hz is considered the bottom octave in a series of even-order harmonics that extend without limit beyond the audible range. Reflection: Sound and light are reflected off smooth surfaces in a similar manner – the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction: The bending of sound waves travelling through media that conduct sound at varying speed. Resonant frequency: Any object will vibrate at a particular sound frequency, its natural resonant frequency, when disturbed by physical force or by sound having frequency equal to its resonant frequency. Reverberation: The lingering of sound in an enclosed space after the original sound source has stopped. A room with much reverb is said to be “live”; one without reverb is said to be “dead”. Reverberation time (RT60): The time, in seconds, that reverberant sound energy in a space diminishes by 60dB. Sabin: The measurement unit, in inchpounds, of sound absorption. One square foot of acoustic material having a sound absorption coefficient of 1 has a Sabin value of 1. Sabine, Wallace C.: The father of modern acoustics and the developer of the Sabine reverberation equation; RT60 = .049 sec./ft. x Volume/Absorption Surface Sound: A vibrational disturbance comprised of alternating compressions and rarefactions of air molecules. The compressions push air together and thereby cause higher-thannormal atmospheric pressure, whereas rarefactions spread air molecules further apart thereby causing lower-than-normal atmospheric pressure. Total sound energy is the potential energy from ambient air pressure and the kinetic energy of moving air molecules. Sound absorption coefficient (“alpha”): The amount, expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1 to the nearest .05, of sound energy that is absorbed, or otherwise not reflected, by an acoustic material at a specified frequency. Sound masking: The process by which the audibility of one sound is diminished by the introduction of another sound. White noise uses equal sound energy at all frequencies and thereby favors higher frequency spectra. Pink noise balances sound energy over a series of octaves and sounds less harsh. Sound transmission class (STC): A rating system that provides an estimate of the insulation ability of a partition. Structure-borne noise: The generation of unwanted radiated sound caused by vibrational forces in solid materials. Wavelength: The distance a sound wave travels from compression to the next compression. The wavelength (or period) of sound at any frequency can be computed by dividing the speed of sound (1087 ft./sec.) by its frequency. At 20Hz, the wavelength of sound is 56 feet long. These long sound waves give low frequency sound (bass) its penetrating ability. 33 24-25 Bringing Bringing Design Design to to Life Life Bringing Design to Life Acoustical Collection Unika Vaev Customer Service 19 Ohio Avenue Norwich, CT 06360 Phone: 800.237.1625 Fax: 888.784.8209 Email: [email protected] www.unikavaev.com Bringing Design to Life Acoustical Collection Unika Vaev Customer Service 19 Ohio Avenue Norwich, CT 06360 Phone: 800.237.1625 Fax: 888.784.8209 Email: [email protected] www.unikavaev.com Bringing Design to Life
