From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) is a standard used for indicating the rate of transmission of sound between outdoor and indoor spaces in a structure. It is It is based on the ASTM E-1332 Standard Classification for the Determination of Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class. An alternative similar standard for determining the rate of acoustic isolation of a separation between spaces is STC While STC is based on a "White' noise spectrum, this standard utilizes a source noise spectrum that combines Aircraft/Rail/Truck traffic and is weighted more to lower frequencies.
