Traceable sound power measurements in essentially diffuse or free fields

چکیده
ABSTRACT Current methods for the determination of sound power such as the ISO 3740 series do not have a direct traceability to a primary standard. The different methods are regarded as equal, but they do give results with systematic differences. One task of the European project “EMRP JRP SIB 56 SoundPwr” has been to develop and investigate traceable and consistent methods for sound power measurements in essentially diffuse or free fields. By using a calibrated reference sound source as a traceability source, qualification procedures for setups for sound power determinations in different environments have been investigated. Uncertainty sources such as sound field sampling, directivity, frequency content and impedance of the device under test have been analysed. The results are presented in the contribution.

Measurement of sound power and absorption in reverberation chambers using energy density.
Reverberation chamber measurements typically rely upon spatially averaged squared pressure for the calculation of sound absorption, sound power, and other acoustic values. While a reverberation chamber can provide an approximately diffuse sound field, variations in sound pressure consistently produce uncertainty in measurement results. This paper explores the benefits of using total energy dens...
متن کاملAssessing sound absorption coefficient under a synthesized diffuse acoustic field: effect of the sample size and nature
A method for estimating the sound absorption coefficient of a material under a synthesized Diffuse Acoustic Field was recently proposed, as an alternative to classical sound absorption measurements in reverberant rooms. Using sound field reproduction approaches and a synthetic array of acoustic monopoles facing the material, estimation of the sound absorption coefficient under a reproduced Diff...

متن کاملAn alternative coefficient for sound absorption
The acoustic absorption coefficient is a number that indicates which fraction of the incident acoustic power impinging on a surface is being absorbed. The incident acoustic power is obtained by spatial integration of the incident intensity, which is (classically) defined as the time-averaged intensity associated with the incident sound field. The measurement of the effective, in situ, sound abs...
متن کاملMulti-channel post-filtering based on spatial coherence measure
A multi-channel post-filtering algorithm using the proposed spatial coherence measure is derived. The spatial coherence measure evaluates the similarity between the measured signal fields using power spectral density matrices. In the proposed post-filter, the assumption of homogeneous sound fields is relaxed. Besides, multi-rank signal models can be easily adopted. Under this measure, the bias ...
