Reverberation time measurements in reverberant spaces

The goal of this paper is to examine the reverberation time measurements made in small and large reverberant spaces using different measurements methods, namely, the integrated impulse response measured with pink noise, exponential sweep and MLS and the method of recording the response of the room to an impulsive source, e.g. a balloon burst. Furthermore, the measurements were made using two different sound sources, an omnidirectional source coupled with a subwoofer and an ordinary directional loudspeaker. The measurements were conducted in two reverberant spaces that differ in size and shape - a hallway/galler and a high voltage laboratory, both located at the Faculty of EE and Computing in Zagreb, Croatia.
