In order for sound to be transmitted or propagated, it re- quires an elastic medium. The most common medium for transmission is the air. Such sound is called "air -borne sound." However, sound can also be easily transmitted through common building materials and components such as steel, concrete, wood and metal framing, piping, and gypsum wallboard. This type of sound is called "structure -borne sound." A- weighted decibel IdB(A)I is a standard single- numoer rating representing the overall sound energy of a given source. The A- weighting network in a sound level meter filters sound in a manner similar to the human ear by downgrading low frequencies.
