A "curious" drum room build...
Posted: Sun, 2020-Sep-20, 17:07
I'm just throwing this out there for comments and insight. The intention is not to diss anybody, or rain on their parade, but rather to just comment on what was, and what could have been.
It's a paper from a building journal, about the design and construction of a "drum studio" that didn't actually achieve its design isolation goal, but they still thought it was a success. However, the numbers are not very encouraging, and the conclusions are incorrect, as are many of the design parameters.
On reading through that paper, see if you can figure out what they did wrong, and why it did not perform as it could have, if it would have been designed and built better. (Hint: the reasons they give for the less-than-desirable outcome ,are not the real reasons...)
To put the results in perspective, compare this paper with Tom's build: ( viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32 ). His place is already getting better isolation than this, and he hasn't even put the doors on yet!
The paper isn't that old either: from 2009.
