Insulation Indices
Spectra adaptation terms, Cj, in decibel, shall be calculated with the specific
sound spectra j from the following equation:
C j = X Aj − X w
where:
j is the subscript for the sound spectra N° 1 e 2;
Xw is the Insulation Index calculated from R, Dn or DnT values;
XAj Lij − X i
X Aj = −10 log10 10 10 dB where:
i
▪ i is the subscript for the one-third-octave bands 100 Hz to 3150 Hz or the octave bands 125 Hz to 2000 Hz;
▪ Lij are the levels of the sound level spectra to calculate the adaptation terms at the frequency i for the
spectrum j;
▪ Xi is the transmission loss Ri, or apparent transmission loss, or the normalized level difference Dn,i, or
standardized level difference DnT,i, at the measuring frequency i, given to one decimal place.
Calculate the quantity, XAj, with sufficient accuracy and round the result to an integer.2) The
resulting spectrum adaptation term is an integer by definition and shall be identified in
accordance with the spectrum used, as follows:
C when calculated with spectrum No. 1 (A-weighted pink noise);
Ctr when calculated with spectrum No. 2 (A-weighted urban traffic noise).
