Oct 4, 2022 · There are 12 possible flanking transmission paths which arise from the four adjoining constructions to the demising assembly (i.e., if the demising assembly were a suite …

Building noise control - flanking pathways: this article explains how sound flanking paths, sound leaks around and through building components, defeats incomplete attempts to reduce …

Flanking transmission is a term used by acoustical engineers wherein the sound passes around, over the top or under the primary partition separating two spaces. Flanking sound transmission …

“Flanking” is a misunderstood and under-appreciated problem in noise control construction design. It occurs when noise becomes structure-borne and finds a route around an isolated …

FLANKING: An indirect path of sound transmission traveling around a partition or barrier within a building reducing the STC significantly. Some examples of flanking paths are noise under …

Apr 3, 2024 · Flanking Path: Sound paths that go around a barrier, like above a ceiling plenum or in/through an HVAC system. These paths should be eliminated as much as possible.

This feature creates the worst flanking path through Junction 1, with only STC 47. The combined STC (also called ASTC) for all junctions including direct path is only 46, failing the new …

Flanking paths are air gaps, spaces, or other paths that allow audio generated inside a room to escape. These flanking paths may be caused by: Additionally, any other path, channel or …

Sep 17, 2018 · Therefore, even with a high STC rating, any penetration, air-gap, or “flanking” path seriously degrades the isolation quality of a wall. For example, even if you buy a STC-45 …

Even with a high STC rating, any penetration, air-gap, or "flanking" path can seriously degrade the isolation quality of a wall. Flanking paths are the means for sound to transfer from one space …
