TR15 Acoustic Calculator

Based upon the data and methodologies compiled in American Wood Council’s Technical Report No. 15 (TR15), this calculator simplifies the calculation of sound transmission through wood-frame floor and ceilings. Sound transmission class (STC) and Impact insulation class results are given as well as the following detail data at ⅓ octave band center frequency ranging from 125 Hz to 4000 Hz:

TL / STC:

  • Floor Layer Estimated Transmission Loss
  • Ceiling Layer Estimated Transmission Loss
  • System Effect
  • Estimated Transmission Loss
  • ASTM E413 Reference Contour
  • STC-shifted Reference Contour
  • Estimated Transmission Loss Deficiencies

ISPL / IIC:

  • STC Transmission Loss
  • ISPL Adjustment
  • Estimated Impact Sound Pressure Level
  • ASTM E989 Reference Contour
  • Shifted Reference Contour
  • Impact Insulation Deficiencies
