Many sound transmission loss tests have been per formed on various concrete masonry walls.

Sound transmission class or stc is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound in the us it is widely used to rate interior partitions ceilings floors doors windows and exterior wall configurations.
In general the stl of a concrete masonry wall increases with increasing frequency of the sound.
Sound transmission class stc provides an estimate of the acoustic performance of a wall in certain common airborne sound insulation applications the stc of a wall is determined by comparing sound transmission loss stl values at various frequencies to a standard contour stl is the decrease or attenuation in sound energy in db.
Note that in the low frequency range important for music theaters traffic aircraft and most other real world noise sources the lower stc wall is literally 30 decibels better yet lower stc.
Insulation will noticeably improve the stc rating of an assembly.
These tests have indicated a direct relationship between wall weight and the resulting stc heavier concrete masonry walls have higher stc ratings.
