Validation of the Low-Frequency Procedure for Field Measurement of Façade Sound Insulation

In the ISO 16283 series for field measurement of sound insulation, a low-frequency procedure is specified for determining indoor average sound pressure level, which is the so-called corner method. In the procedure, additional measurements are required in the corners in addition to the default measur...
