Side scuttle in the shipboard windows is used in a smaller size in order to prevent damage to the glass. This shipboard windows should have high sound insulation performance (More than $R_w$ 53 dB) according to norsok standards. However, side scuttle having a small size and high sound insulation material is difficult to measure exact result without a suitable filler wall. In this study, the test was conducted according to the number of changes in the small window. As a result, before starting the test should be conducted to the selection of the suitable filler wall or secure a specimen area.

In order to measure sound transmission loss (STL) of a shipboard window of small size, a special partition is built into the test opening between two reverberation rooms and the specimen is placed in that partition. For high sound insulation, the filler wall often has multi-layered structure such as double-brick wall or buckhead structure with thick steel plate, absorptive material, and sandwich panels. This paper discusses the installation method of a multi-layered filler wall that consist of gypsum boards, lead plates, and glass wool. The experimental results of various wall structures are introduced. The comparison between the results show that the sound bridge effect plays a significant role in lowering the maximum STL of the filler wall. It is also found that the higher the sound insulation performance of the filler wall is, the more important the franking transmission through other side wall of the test facility is.
