Building acoustics simulation of a wooden frame wall Building physics simulations have already become firmly established in the everyday planning of hygrothermal conditions. In contrast, simulating real physical effects in building acoustics, especially in lightweight construction, to enable precise predictions is still a challenge. With the increasing demand in timber construction, both the requirements and the need for planning security are growing. Reliable frequency‐dependent prediction of the sound insulation of lightweight components could save resource‐consuming measurements. So far, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven to be a suitable method for conducting building acoustics parameter studies on lightweight components and evaluating constructive changes in relation to each other. This article presents the simulation of a timber frame wall in window size using the FEM. The simulation results, conducted with the software "COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1", are compared with building acoustic measurements. Using the simulation, the sound insulation is predicted with a maximum deviation of 5 dB per 1/3‐octave band. In FEM, the quality of the input data is crucial, with relevant stiffness values and loss factors of all materials determined through modal analyses. This approach becomes particularly relevant for multi‐layered anisotropic components. In addition to the validation, parameter variations were carried out based on the model. The results of these studies are also discussed in this work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
