ASTM E- silence

ASTM E- silence is a testing standard developed by ASTM International that evaluates a material's or system’s ability to block or reduce sound transmission. It involves measuring the difference in noise levels when sound passes through different materials, helping to assess their soundproofing effectiveness. This standard ensures consistent and reliable testing methods for acoustical performance, useful in designing buildings, automotive parts, and other structures where noise control is important. Essentially, ASTM E- silence provides a standardized way to quantify how well a material can insulate or dampen sound.
