The article presents the results of research on the acoustic properties of materials used as sound-absorbing linings and cores in baffles of anti-noise protection. Using an impedance tube the spectral characteristics of the normal incidence sound absorption and sound transmission loss indices of 12 specimens of mineral wool with different density and thickness were determined. From these characteristics, the single-number weighted sound absorption coefficient αw and the sound reduction index Rw were calculated. To calculate the value of the Rw index on the basis of surface mass of the mineral wool specimen, a new formula was proposed. The insertion loss of an acoustic enclosure with one, two and three-layer walls with dimensions of 0.7×0.7 m, containing mineral wool, was determined. The best efficiency was achieved for the enclosure made of walls of layers: mineral wool, placed on the sound source side, steel plate and aluminium plate.
The article presents the results of an experimental study and calculations, using theoretical models, of the insertion loss of acoustical enclosures. The research used a developed prototype stand for testing acoustical enclosures. The sound power levels of the source without and with the enclosure, needed to determine the insertion loss, were determined by the approximate method in accordance with standard requirements. To calculate of the insertion loss for enclosures with sound absorbing and insulating walls, a known calculation model using the transmission loss of baffles was used. A new calculation model for enclosures with sound insulating walls is proposed in the article.
