β¦ Synopsis
Two theoretical solutions for the field of a point sound source above a plane boundary between air and an absorbing material are discussed. The validity of approximations based on the plane-wave reflection coefficient and on the modified image method are also examined. Results of measurements made with a source in and above slabs of absorbent material are shown to be in agreement with theoretical results. The performance of free-field rooms having plane absorbent treatment and ground-reflection effects in the measurement of aircraft noise spectra can thus be predicted.

The presence of reflecting boundaries causes the acoustic power output of a point source to increase. As existing experimental data were found to be inadequate, experiments have been carried out in this study to determine the effect of a reflecting plane on the power radiated by a point source. A co
