- Abstract
- The acoustical performance of a multifamily low rise wood-frame modular housing system was tested on an Operation BREAKTHROUGH prototype site. Test results are given concerning the noise isolation of inter-dwelling walls and floor-ceilings, the noise isolation of intra-dwelling walls, and the noise levels within living units. These test results are also compared with the test results of a similarly constructed pre-BREAKTHROUGH housing system. (Author)
