Among these criteria, laboratories with devices such as impedance tubes, alpha cabins and reverberation rooms used to measure and analyze parameters such as sound transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient have been investigated. In literature, it has been observed that there are studies on acoustic materials and the tests applied to these materials, but the application is more limited. According to research data, an Alpha Cabin model system design that can be used to develop new types of acoustic sound materials has been proposed. In addition to the fact that a large number of experimental measurements can be performed at lower costs using the designed Alpha Cabin model system, many tests can be performed easily for different material designs in a very short time. To perform these tests, the Alpha Cabin system has been designed based on noise and sound insulation. For example, floating flooring, ribbed connection, and so on. Afterward, different insulation materials were used for insulation purposes and standards were achieved. The Alpha Cabin test system, which was designed and developed, overlaps the experimental and theoretical data for 500, 2000, and 4000 Hz when compared with the values of 29.1 dB for 500 Hz, 38.6 dB for 2000 Hz, and 49 dB for 4000 Hz measured in the Acoustic Facade Panel Test Room, and it has been observed that it can be used in the development of new sound insulation materials.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcousticAlpha cabinSound insulationAcoustic materialsLow costArticle361118WOS:000979511700001
