Impact noise test method using a modified hammer machine [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975 The current national (ASTM E-492) and international (ISO-R140/R717) impact method involves the use of a standard hammer machine for evaluating the impact noise isolation of floor/ceiling structure. The method has been severely criticized on the ground that ratings based on the test data correlate poorly with the subjective judgments of people listening
