 Transmission loss of Panels
Transmission loss of panels can be simplified to four rules, which are
shown in the diagram below.

The first, stiffness controlled region, extends to very low frequencies

(usually below 20 Hz), and can be left out here.

The second, resonance controlled region, happens at low to medium

frequencies, and causes ups and downs to the transmission loss.

The third, mass controlled region, which is the most important, affects
all audible frequencies in heavy panels, and is considered the starting
curve, that the other laws alter more or less.

The fourth, coincidence region, happens in higher frequencies,

especially to wooden panels and glass, lowering their transmission loss.

 Transmission Loss
• Transmission loss [dB] approximately:
The Mass law:

TL = 20 log10 (ms f) – 48

• where ms is the mass per unit area, [kg/m²];

and f is the frequency of the sound wave, [Hz].
Ley de la Masa
 Panel resonances:
Panels resonate at low to medium frequencies and create dips
to transmission loss.
• The resonant frequencies of a panel can be calculated with
a formula as follows.

The resonant frequencies [Hz]:

Fr = 0.45*vl*t*[(r/w)^2+(r/h)^2]

where vl is the longitudinal velocity of sound in the partition

(m/s), t is the panel thickness (m), w and h are panel's width
and height (m) and r is harmonic number (1 gives the
fundamental frequency).
 The coincidence effect:
Materials stiffness creates a dip of transmission loss at higher
frequencies, normally over 1 kHz.

It can be approximated with a formula below.

The critical frequency [Hz]: Fc = c² / (1.8*t*vl)

where c is the speed of sound in air [m/s] (340 m/s at 20

°C), t is the panel thickness (m) and vl is the longitudinal
velocity of sound in the partition (m/s).

The diagram shows how
great benefits you can
actually achieve with
double wall construction.
As the curve C
represents the mass law
prediction for a single 1
mm steel sheet, the two
other double walls
consists of two 0.5 mm
steel sheets with 100
mm airspace between on
curve A and 5 mm On
curve B.

 Double walls
• There's a formula for calculating mass-air-mass resonance in
double walls, which cause dips shown below.
• The double walls have no rigid connection between the faces
and there's sound absorbing material between.
• Here again, low frequencies seem to be the biggest problem.

Double walls are a good way to increase transmission loss

without increasing mass.
