Testing is to be carried out between pairs of rooms separated by party walls or floors, in most cases the rooms to be tested will be the two main habitable rooms which would be living rooms and bedrooms. The test procedure involves setting up a noise source in a room on one side of the party wall or floor and measuring the noise on both sides of the partition.
