EN Development and implementation of a new product in the form of a lightweight screed with high impact sound reduction require a lot of measurements of different aggregates of lightweight elements and filling. The manufacturing process influences the final parameters of the solutions as well. This is why a method was developed, that allowed a comparison of many different samples within one measurement session. The measured samples must therefore be small and easy to move. In the paper, various possibilities of impact sound reduction measurements were analyzed being different variants of the normative methods and those existing in the literature on the subject. Based on the obtained results, it was shown that for lightweight floor screeds, sound pressure level measurement is more reliable than vibration acceleration measurements. The top vinyl layer used between the tapping machine and the sample did not influence the results significantly and protected the sample from being distorted by the tapping machine hammers.
