Acoustic Transmission Loss: Sound-Dampening Drywall vs. Mass Loaded Vinyl

Sound isolation is governed by mass, decoupling, and damping. Sound-dampening drywall and mass loaded vinyl achieve acoustic transmission loss through different physical mechanisms. This lab report maps the STC ratings, frequency behavior, and installation requirements that determine which material solves which noise problem.
