Abstract

In this research project, a passive method of using narrow side-branches has been used for improving the sound transmission loss along ventilation duct. A microphone was installed at the end of each side-branch. While 4 other microphones were installed in front of and at the back of the array. Four settings with different tube length arrangement had been compared. Two microphones transfer method was used in calculating the sound transmission loss. The result shows that this narrow side-branch array can produce a higher transmission loss within a relatively wide frequency range. The performance of the side-branch array can improve the effect of resonance across narrow side-branch arrays and hence broaden the resonance frequency band to maximize transmission loss.
