Il est recommandé de poser un matériau absorbant à l'intérieur des caissons de stores afin de lutter contre la transmission des bruits aériens d'une classe à l'autre (effet de téléphone).

CONT

L'indice de transmission sonore (I.T.S.) des bruits aériens et l'indice d'isolement aux chocs (I.I.C.) sont mesurés en décibels. Ils permettent de classifier l'atténuation moyenne des bruits.

OBS

Les formes de la transmission du son dans les bâtiments [...] sont multiples. [...] Modes de transmission à partir de la source. a) Voie aérienne : le son est rayonné directement par la source dans l'air qui l'environne.
