Suspended ceilings are used in many private and public office buildings, as well as in school buildings and classrooms. They have a major impact on room acoustics as well as on sound insulation between different work areas. The aim of the research project is to improve predictions for standard installation scenarios. Thus, manufacturers and builders can be sure of meeting the specified requirements for flank transmission and sound absorption within the bounds of cost-effectiveness.
