The subject of this study is an analysis of the phenomenon of sound radiation generated by vibrating building partitions in terms of acceptable vibration values set out in PN-88/B-02171: Evaluation of the vibration impact on people in buildings. The aim of the research was to determine conditions when vibration limits, determined as those providing the required human comfort according to the standard, do not meet the requirements of PN-87/B-02151/02 describing sound level limits in rooms. In order to carry out research showing the phenomenon, various aspects of sound radiation by vibrating building partitions were analyzed theoretically. It was assumed that the vibration velocity of elements did not exceed the limits specified in the standard. Calculations were carried out, in particular, for variants with variable thickness or surface of vibrating partition as well as various types of the construction material. Furthermore, the minimum vibration duration was determined for which the values of noise exceeded the sound level limits.
