5 . IMPACT NOISE COMPLIANCE TESTING The impact noise tests were taken within residential flat units at Hurstville NSW.. PARTITION SYSTEM Koikas Acoustics has been advised that the ceiling/floor system between the bedrooms residential units is constructed with following building materials: mm thick concrete slab; Approximately ~ mm deep suspended ceiling cavity, and mm thick plasterboard ceiling. Hereafter referred to as the existing ceiling/floor system (ECFS). The Hebel wall system was used for common walls and as such, the junctions between the concrete slab and the walls is not homogeneous slab/wall materials resulting in a partially impeded acoustic path. The tests were conducted on the mm Rigid Plank with the following acoustic underlays over the ECFS: Test : mm Rigid Plank with cushion back on all tests Test : mm Blue Prolay Test : mm A Rubber D Test : mm A Rubber D Test : mm Regupol S Test : mm Regupol K Test : / mm Regupol Note Test : / mm Regupol Note Test : mm Uniroll RF Test : mm Uniroll RF Test : mm Damtec () Test : mm Damtec () Note. Including two layers mm plywood on top the Regupol underlay as recommended by Regupol. The mm Rigid Plank was laid above the plywood.

6 . IMPACT NOISE CRITERION. BCA REQUIREMENT In accordance with current BCA impact requirements, a floor in a Class or building must have an D ntw +C tr (airborne) not less than and an L ntw (impact) not more than if it separates (i) (ii) soleoccupancy units; or a soleoccupancy unit from a plant room, lift shaft, stairway, public corridor, public lobby or the like, or parts a different classification.. AAAC STAR RATING PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS Reproduced from the AAAC Guideline for Apartment and Townhouse Acoustic Ratings, the following Table (Section C) describes the acoustic ratings with reference to the Star Rating. Table. Star Rating requirements for Intertenancy Activities Published by the AAAC INTERTENANCY ACTIVITIES Star Star Star Star Star (a) Airborne sound insulation for walls and floors Between separate tenancies DnTw + Ctr Between a lobby/corridor & bedroom DnTw + Ctr Between a lobby/corridor & living area DnTw + Ctr (b) Corridor, foyer to living space via door(s) DnTw (c) Impact isolation floors Between tenancies LnTw Between all other spaces & tenancies LnTw (d) Impact isolation walls Between tenancies No Yes Yes Yes Yes Between common areas & tenancies No No No Yes Yes. CITY OF SYDNEY DCP Furthermore, the impact isolation requirement the floor system stated in Part Section... Acoustic Privacy City Sydney DCP is also considered. () To limit the transmission noise to and between dwellings, all floors are to have a weighted standardised impact sound level (L nt,w) less than or equal to where the floor separates a habitable room and another habitable room, bathroom, toilet, laundry, kitchen, plant room, stairway, public corridor, hallway and the like.

7 . IMPACT NOISE TESTING The testing the ceiling/floor system with the mm Rigid Plank in conjunction with different types acoustic underlays were conducted inside the unfurnished bedrooms from one residential unit (upper floor level) to another unit (lower floor level) directly below within a residential building in Hurstville NSW on Wednesday, st November.. ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES Spectrum sound level measurements transmitted impact noise were recorded in / octave band centre frequencies between and, Hertz. A standardised BSWA Technology Co. Type TM S/N Tapping Machine was used to generate the sound field in the source rooms for the impact noise test. Impact noise measurements were carried out in accordance with the recommendations AS/NZS ISO.: Field measurements impact sound insulation floors. This document provides information on appropriate measurement equipment and the proper implementation measurement practices so as to achieve reliable results impact sound insulation between rooms in buildings. For determining a single number quantity for impact sound insulation between rooms in buildings when measurements are conducted insitu, L nt,w (weighted standardised impact sound pressure level), the relevant standard is AS/NZS ISO. Impact sound insulation. The calculated L nt,w derived from applying the formulae in this standard allows for a comparison between these calculated levels and the nominated acceptable levels outlined in the Verification Methods the Building Code Australia (BCA).. AMBIENT BACKGROUND NOISE MEASUREMENT A measure the underlying ambient noise was taken in the receiving rooms to account for the perceived noise floor in the space. Inaccuracies in the measurements and calculations can occur in areas high ambient noise however the location the site and receiver rooms meant little ambient noise was evident in this case. Ambient noise levels in each / octave frequency bands were measured to take into account the effect ambient noise during the recording the transmitted impact noise levels.

8 . REVERBERATION TIME MEASUREMENTS To determine the L nw or L nt,w reverberation time measurements need to be performed in the receiving rooms. The reverberation time in the receiver room is calculated to standardise the airborne/impact noise transmission measurements to reference reverberation time. seconds as required by AS/NZS ISO.: Section., and AS ISO. Section.. Reverberation time measurements were conducted using the balloon source method. This consisted bursting a large balloon and measuring the decay sound pressure level using a spectrum analyser. This transient response was analysed by the sound level meter and a measure the reverberation time in / octave bands was used to calculate the standardised impact noise rating.. INSTRUMENTATION AND CALIBRATION NTi XL Type Approved (TA) precision spectrum analyser S/N AAE was used to measure the impact noise levels. The equipment used for taking noise level measurements is traceable to NATA certification. Field calibrations were taken before and after the measurements with a NATA calibrated field calibrator. No system drifts were observed.

Including two layers mm plywood on top the Regupol underlay as recommended by Regupol. The mm Rigid Plank was laid above the plywood. Detail calculations the partition system s impact noise insulation the ceiling/floor systems are attached as Appendix A. The following are also noted: All tests were undertaken with the existing ceiling/floor system (ECFS) consisting mm thick concrete subbase with inclusion approximately ~ mm suspended ceiling cavity and one layer mm thick plasterboard ceiling. All the ceiling/floor system tested have met both the BCA criterion (L ntw ) and City Sydney DCP requirement (L ntw ) for impact noise insulation. The lower the rating number the better the acoustic performance for L ntw ratings. It is anticipated that the L ntw + L ntw. The relation between Field Impact Isolation Class (FIIC) and Impact Isolation Class (IIC) can be described by the formula FIIC + IIC.

The information contained herein should not be reproduced except in full. The information provided in this report relates to acoustic matters only. Supplementary advice should be sought for other matters relating to flooring installation, construction, design, structural, firerating, water proing, and the likes. Product installation details and methodologies must be sought from product supplier, installer or other experts. The acoustic ratings provided in this report are indicative and should be used for comparative purpose. Acoustic ratings will vary depending on the testing environment/conditions including, materials/structures the existing ceiling/floor system and junction with walls, room volume, internal layout and workmanship. Even with the same testing environment, acoustic ratings can vary from room to room and buildings to building as no two buildings are identical. covering must not make contact with any walls or joineries (kitchen benches, cupboards etc). During installation any hard floor coverings, temporary spaces ~mm should be used to isolate the floor covering from walls and/or joineries and the resulting gaps should be filled with a suitable mastic type sealant or fcut underlay or the equivalent where available. Acoustic ratings can be degraded if the above precautions are not implemented.

11 . CONCLUSION Koikas Acoustics was requested by Proline s to undertake impact noise tests ceiling/floor system for the mm Rigid Plank in conjunction with fifteen () different types acoustic underlay samples. The acoustic performances various ceiling/floor configurations were calculated and compared against the acoustic requirements the current BCA, AAAC Star Ratings and City Sydney Council s DCP requirement. The calculated acoustic rating each tested flooring sample was summarised and presented in Table this report. Detailed graphically presentation the acoustic performance each tested flooring sample is attached as Appendix A. All the ceiling/floor systems tested with the mm Rigid Plank acoustic underlay (Test ~) achieved the impact insulation rating L ntw ~ for the existing ceiling floor system and therefore at this site: meets the current BCA criterion (L ntw ), meets the City Sydney Council s criterion (L ntw ) and meets the AAAC Star Rating (L ntw ) or Star Rating (L ntw ) for impact noise insulation. The acoustic ratings provided in this report are indicative and for comparative purpose only. Acoustic ratings will vary depending on the testing environment/conditions including, materials/structures the existing ceiling/floor system, room volume, internal layout and workmanship. Even with the same testing environment/conditions, acoustic ratings can vary from building to building. It is recommended that testing be conducted prior to any full fitout as the subbase ceiling floor system and the wall junctions can impact upon the resultant flanking noise in the unit below. The above report should be reproduced in full including the attached Appendix. covering must not make contact with any walls or joineries (kitchen benches, cupboards etc). During installation any hard floor coverings, temporary spaces ~mm should be used to isolated the floor covering from walls and/or joineries and the resulting gaps should be filled with a suitable mastic type sealant or fcut underlay or the equivalent where available. Acoustic ratings could be degraded if the above precautions and treatments are not implemented.
