Effective LF absorbers can mitigate modes in professional and consumer audio rooms. However, fiber- and foam-based absorbers act on sound velocity; membrane absorbers act on sound pressure (greatest at hard surfaces and corners). Velocity at hard surfaces is zero; thus, fiber and foam absorbers work far less effectively than membrane absorbers under 200Hz. Additionally, most independent testing laboratories are only large enough to accurately measure absorption results above 160Hz (per Schroeder frequency) but not below. Only one lab is large enough to be accurate down to 40Hz. A new LF membrane-based absorber product was designed to compliment the frequency range of an existing product. Both were separately tested for LF absorption down to 40Hz at the above-referenced lab. Ten LF absorber tests revealed that the type of absorber, and its location and orientation in a room, are critical to LF absorber effectiveness. Some unexpected results, however, showed clearly that without standardized laboratory absorption testing in a lab capable of accurately testing down to 40Hz, it is not possible to state conclusively that low-frequency absorber products perform as claimed.Low-frequency (LF) room modes are one of the greatest issues for accurate sound recording and reproduction.

Both the order and rating tests confirm there is a high correlation between perception of crackle and derivative skewness.

This musical instrument was first developed and played by duck herders. To build the half-dome-shaped resonator, bundengan makers create a woven grid of bamboo splits and arrange the weaving pattern such that the grid spontaneously forms the half-dome shape. The dome is then coated with layers of bamboo sheaths, strapped with sugar palm fibres to hold them in place. Inside the resonator, there is a set of long, thin bamboo plates and some strings. The strings are equipped with small bamboo clips, which vibrate together with the strings. The clipped strings generate metal-like sounds, while the bamboo plates generate drum-like sounds, such that the bundengan as a whole imitates the sound of a set of gamelan, an Indonesian instrumental ensemble. Interactions with the bundengan makers and players allow us to identify an important problem: players find it difficult not only to tune this instrument, but also to keep it tuned for a long time.

The method uses the Fubini solution to extract the slope of the linear dependency of the ratio harmonic/fundamental on the fundamental pressure measured at the same location. It eliminates the need for a motion stage, required by methods observing harmonic growth with source distance. It also excludes the need to measure the pressure at the source, since, in the current experiment, conducted in distilled water, it neglects depletion of the fundamental due to attenuation and energy transfer to higher harmonics. The variability of the estimated beta was evaluated with 9 measurements for which the setup was mounted anew. This was performed for 4 different distances from the source. The estimated beta slightly decreased with increasing distance from the source, possibly due to focusing effects. The average beta estimated over all measurements was 3.48+−0.43, showing good agreement with previously reported values. The reproducibility and accuracy of the proposed method is relevant for its adoption aimed at beta measurements in tissue samples for clinical diagnostic research.","PeriodicalId":20469,"journal":{"name":"Proc.
