title: Estimating transmission loss in coupled reverberant-anechoic rooms by measuring sound intensity with and without a test specimen.
abstract: A method for estimating the sound transmission loss of partitions in coupled reverberant-anechoic rooms is proposed, using two sound intensity measurements made before and after a test specimen is installed between the two rooms. Laboratory tests performed following a standard procedure and the suggested method with three different panels provide comparable transmission loss values.
