Acoustic Analysis of Various Purposes Rooms Using Measurements and Simulations

Acoustic properties affect the way one experiences sound in a room; sound listener or microphone will receive the sound in a form that might be more or less understandable, influenced by the room's acoustic properties. Assessment of a room's acoustic properties can be made on-site and by using simulation software. This paper used both methods for acoustic properties assessment of rooms with various dimensions and purposes. The aim was to compare the results obtained by both methods and advise on how to improve the room's acoustic properties. Acoustic properties are assessed using: T20, C50, and C80. The difference in the observed room's acoustic is presented. The results showed a significant agreement between acoustic properties measured on-site and by simulation.
