There are 2 main parts to a sound test :
The airborne test measures the resistance to the passage of airborne sound through an isolating divider. It is led utilizing a high power multi directional loudspeaker making an enduring sound level. A microphone is then used to gauge the distinction in this sound level between the source room (the room with the speaker in) and the collecting or receiving room (the room beside, beneath or over the source room).
The impact test measures the resistance to the passage of impact sound, utilising the tapping machine, which is a little machine containing 5 weights. Placed on the floor, these weights are then permitted to drop onto the floor. The sound level is then measured utilising a microphone as a part of the room beneath the tapping machine.
