A sound transmission loss suite is a facility for measuring the airborne sound insulation by building elements such as wall assemblies and partitions. It consists of two neighboring reverberation chambers (called the source and receiving rooms), where the only significant sound transmission path is presented by the test specimen, enclosed in the common wall separating the two chambers. In this talk, an overview of the sound transmission loss suite that was newly built and commissioned at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in late 2023 is given. The suite is comprised of two reverberation chambers with interior volumes of 200 m3 (source room) and 125 m3 (receiving room) and can test for frequencies from 63 to 20000 Hz, making it one of a kind in Western Canada. The talk touches upon the acoustical characteristics of the suite and the relevant test method for measuring transmission loss according to the ASTM E90 standard.
