OPTIMIZATION OF REVERBERATION CHAMBER PARAMETERS FOR ACOUSTIC TESTS OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the acoustic characteristics of reverberation chamber. Sound pressure measurements have been carried out to study the sound field in low and high level rooms of reverberation chamber. To determine the diffuse field of sound, the sound pressure was measured at points uniformly distributed over the area of the chambers at four levels in height. The reverberation time was studied using the method of interrupted noise and fixing the decay curve by the measuring instrument. To establish the characteristic correlation between the sound pressure level at the measuring points and the distance to the sound source, the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated. The degree of influence of the finishing room on the amount of reverberation time was investigated.
