the theory behind it...

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

the theory behind it...

Post by ponkass »

I´ve read this board for several months and about 2 leaf systems, and NOT having 3 or 4 leafs... But i can´t seem to recall if it has been explained (the exact physics of it) why more leafs reduce your isolation. I know it has something to do with resonance, but can someone point me to a thread or just tell me straight up exactly what happens with the sound in multiple leaf constructions.. many thanks...

Do an experiment with small springs and weights (ball point pen springs, pennies. Set up the different systems and all you need is youur eyes to se the results.
