A simplified method is investigated to be developed for use by building control inspectors or persons undertaking a similar role to allow a fast and simple check to be carried out on both air-borne and impact sound insulation between rooms. This paper proposes a short test method, in which a standard impact noise source is employed as a simplified source and one third octave band sound level measurement is simplified by A-weighting.
