L'indice d'affaiblissement acoustique [...] exprime, en décibels (dB), l'aptitude à l'isolement d'une paroi donnée. Pour une surface définie de paroi, il est fonction de la mesure d'isolement global du local, de son pouvoir absorbant, et de la hauteur du son (grave, médium ou aigu) à l'émission. 2, record 1, French, - indice%20d%27affaiblissement%20acoustique
