In recent years, it has become apparent that not only the single-number specification, but the extended frequency range and frequency characteristics of impact sound insulation of constructions can have noticeable influence on the perceived acoustic performance of a construction. Therefore, the Austrian Classification Standard {\"O}NORM B 8115-5: 2021-04 includes extended requirements on impact sound insulation. It provides two ways for verification of the sound insulation classes A to C. One way is the verification via the resonance frequency of multi-layer constructions. However, there exist as yet no standardized measurement methods for the estimation of the resonance frequency of multi-layer building constructions. In response, in course of this study a new measurement method for the estimation of the resonance frequencies of multi-layer constructions was developed. For this development acceleration measurements were carried out on both surfaces of particularly double-layer building constructions, that were excited with a rubber hammer. From these measurement results, in conjunction with an analytical model, it was possible to derive a measurement method for estimating the resonant frequency via the frequency characteristics of the acceleration amplitudes.", }
