ASTM WK85438
Revision of E336-23 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Airborne Sound Attenuation between Rooms in Buildings
Rationale
Issues under consideration are 1. Measurements in long narrow less diffuse smaller rooms, 2. More detailed explanation of background influence on single number ratings (in response to a negative), 3. Changes to notes required in reports (in response to a negative), 4. Improved direction on loudspeaker placement, 5. Potential changes in loudspeaker specification, 6. Some primarily editorial matters raised in comments on recent ballots, 7. Reorganization of the standard to move some material to annexes and incorporate practices being developed in E33.05 as they become available,86. Guidance on minimum microphone positions or measurement times for direct measurement of coupled spaces, and 9. A possible flow chart to clarify implementation of the standard.
