Abstract
Quantifying air-borne and structure-borne sound insulation is an important design consideration for the indoor comfort in a building.Although sound insulation performance is commonly measured experimentally, numerical methods can have time-saving and economic benefits.Further, numerical methods can be incorporated within building simulations to provide an estimate of the acoustic environment.In response, this paper evaluates three different computational approaches for quantifying sound insulation in one-third octave bands (50 Hz -5 kHz) of a lightweight floor including: an analytical (theoretical) model, a finite element model (FEM), and an artificial neural network (ANN) model.The three numerical methods are tested on the sound insulation of a cross laminated timber (CLT) floor.The results of this study show that the ANN model is able to accurately predict the air-borne and impact sound insulation performance at frequencies above

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
