flankingtransmission
Flanking transmission refers to the phenomenon where sound travels indirectly from a source to a receiver by bypassing a primary barrier. Instead of passing directly through a wall or partition, sound waves can circumvent it by traveling through adjacent structures such as floors, ceilings, or adjoining walls. This indirect path allows sound to "leak" or "flank" the intended barrier.
Several factors contribute to flanking transmission. The acoustic decoupling or lack thereof between building elements is
The impact of flanking transmission can be substantial, often undermining the sound insulation performance of even
Mitigating flanking transmission involves careful design and construction practices. These include ensuring proper isolation between building
