Architectural Acoustics: General Topics in Architectural Acoustics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Audio Arts and Acoustics department at Columbia College in Chicago acquired a new building in 2003. The facility, a former bank, contained an old steel and concrete vault that was converted to a reverberation chamber. The acoustic properties of the space, including reverberation time, modal density, and early reflection maps were analyzed and compared to a computer model. Reflectograms were predicted at various locations and compared to test data acquired with Time Delay Spectrometry TDS . Polar Energy Time PET techniques were also used to identify the location of a single 4 4 sample of foam absorber and the results of the test were compared to the predicted value from the computer model. The results of the tests show that, under its current configuration, the room is usable as a reverberation chamber down to 300 Hz, and that the computer model was able to accurately predict the results from the PET methodology.

متن کاملA Review of Diffuse Reflections in Architectural Acoustics
Diffuse reflections have received increasing attention in architectural acoustics over the past quarter century. The term diffuse refers to non-specular directions. This paper identifies three mechanisms that cause diffuse reflections. Practitioners have found that changing specular reflections into diffuse reflections can reduce noise and echoes both indoors and outdoors. Developers of acousti...

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...
