The use of reciprocity in determining rainfall noise

摘要

A 'dry' prediction method is developed to determine the rainfall noise radiated by a structure. This method combines the realistic results of a simple 'dry' measurement based on reciprocity with the ease of a prediction method. Validation measurements are accomplished for a single glass pane and a polycarbonate sheet. The results are in reasonably good agreement with measurement results following the ISO 140-18 standard using artificial rain.
