Architectural Acoustics: Measurement of Room Acoustics I

چکیده
A new acoustic measurement signal that is a hybrid signal of time-stretched pulse TSP , or lin-TSP, and logarithmic TSP log-TSP is proposed. The signal, referred to as warped-TSP Morise et al., IEICE Trans. Fundamentals, A, J89-A 1 , 7–14 2006 , has a single parameter to adjust for better measurements in accordance with ambient noise conditions. It also provides a means to eliminate harmonic distortions produced mainly by loudspeaker systems. In this lecture, the definition and features of the warped-TSP in comparison with the lin-TSP and log-TSP are introduced. The following were shown: 1 the relationship between the parameters, the amplitude frequency characteristics, and the effect on the harmonic distortion components; 2 a method to select the optimal parameters of the warped-TSP for a specific measuring environment; and 3 the experimental results for a series of impulse response measurements under different ambient noise conditions. Those results show that the proposed method outperformed the lin-TSP and log-TSP under all conditions in terms of SNR of the measured impulse response. This research was supported partly by grants-in-aid for scientific research 15300061 and 15650032 and a grant from the Faculty of Systems Engineering at Wakayama University.

Architectural Acoustics: Towards a Benchmark in Computational Room Acoustics
In 1995, an intercomparison on room acoustics computer simulations was launched, the so-called round robin I. The object of interest was a mid-sized auditorium. That project also included a small measurement project, where sessions of impulse response measurements were carried out with several teams and instrumentation. Since that time, the variations in the results obtained by computer simulat...

To achieve enough variability for different performances, a number of new concert halls with secondary hard chambers coupled to the main floor have recently received positive evaluations. As a result, the acoustics of coupled spaces is drawing growing attention in architectural acoustics. In these coupled spaces, the sound energy decays with different exponential constants under certain conditi...

Boundary Conditions for Room Acoustic Simulations
Research on room acoustic simulation focuses on more accurate modeling of wave effects in rooms. Today, also wave models (e.g., the boundary element method and the finite differences in time domain technique) can be used for higher frequencies, thus, in the geometrical acoustics (GA) domain. Simulations in architectural acoustics are powerful tools but their reliability depends on the input dat...

Acoustic building modeling in computer programs is very useful in the understanding of room acoustics for venues of various types by architecture and architectural engineering students. Models provide calculation of reverberation time using the Sabine and similar equations as interior materials are changed. Ray tracing can be used to understand the effect of disturbing sound reflections from in...
متن کاملIntegrating Real-Time Room Acoustics Simulation into a CAD Modeling Software to Enhance the Architectural Design Process
For architects, real-time 3D visual rendering of CAD-models is a valuable tool. The architect usually perceives the visual appearance of the building interior in a natural and realistic way during the design process. Unfortunately this only emphasizes the role of the visual appearance of a building, while the acoustics often remain disregarded. Controlling the room acoustics is not integrated i...
