โœฆ Synopsis

Octave-band reverberation time characteristics of fifty living.rooms and fifiy kitchens are presented. The measurements were carried out using a portable cassette taperecorder system which was shown to compare well with more sophisticated apparatus, although the portable system lacked dynamic response, especially in the high-frequency regions.

It was found that the average living-room had a volume of 44 m 3 and a reverberation time that decreased fairly uniformly with increasing frequency. Over the frequency range 125 Hz to 8 kHz the reverberation time decreased from 0.69 sec at 125 Hz to 0.51 sec at 1 kHz, decreasing still further to 0.40 sec at 8 kHz. The average kitchen had a corresponding reverberation time characteristic which fell from a value of O.76 sec at 125 Hz to 0.68 sec at 1 kHz and to 0.61 sec at 8 kHz with a volume of 23 m 3, approximately half that of the average living-room.

The acoustics are discussed of a large building divided by arches and columns into 77 coupled ''subspaces'' or rooms. Two models of coupled rooms have been devised to predict acoustical characteristics such as the decay of sound energy density and reverberation time. The first is a general model whi
