Method

SONarchitect ISO calculates:

  • Airborne noise insulation values according to ISO 12354-1:2017.
  • Impact noise levels according to ISO 12354-2:2017.
  • Façade acoustic insulation values according to ISO 12354-3:2017.
  • Noise emission levels from noisy enclosures according to ISO 12354-4:2017.
  • Reverberation times in rooms according to EN 12354-6.

Also performs the Metzen approximation.

For analythic calculation of sound reduction index (and impact noise level) SONarchitect includes SONmultilayer, with the matrix transfer function method, and SONequation with the methods referenced in:
