Transmission Loss (TL) is a tool for measuring the insulating properties of walls, floors, or doors separating two rooms. It is based several international standards, including ISO 140-4, "Acoustics - Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements", ISO 717-1. "Acoustics - Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Part 1: Airborne sound insulation", ASTM E336, "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Airborne Sound Attenuation between Rooms in Buildings", and also ASTM E-90 for Transmission Loss (TL), E413-87 for Sound Transmission Class (STC), and E1332-90 for Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC).
