Recently, regulations pertaining to the noise and vibration environment of ship cabins have been strengthened. In this paper, a numerical model is developed for multi-layered floating floor to predict the structure-borne noise in ship cabins. The theoretical model consists of multi-panel structures lined with high-density mineral wool. The predicted results for structure-borne noise when multi-layered floating floor is used are compared to the measurements made of a mock-up. A comparison of the predicted results and the experimental one shows that the developed model could be an effective tool for predicting structure-borne noise in ship cabins.
