Monitoring sound levels and soundscape quality in the living rooms of nursing homes : a case study in Flanders (Belgium) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Recently there has been an increasing interest in the acoustic environment and its perceptual counterpart (i.e., the soundscape) of care facilities and their potential to affect the experience of residents with dementia.

The influence of the distribution of sound absorbing materials on the estimation of reverberation time in rooms

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Reverberation time in rooms depends on many factors, e.g. cubature, surface of envelopes, sound absorption coefficient of materials used for the construction of the envelopes, geometry of rooms or the distribution of sound absorbing materials.

Room Volume Estimation Based on Ambiguity of Short-Term Interaural Phase Differences Using Humanoid Robot Head

open access: yesRobotics, 2016
Humans can recognize approximate room size using only binaural audition. However, sound reverberation is not negligible in most environments. The reverberation causes temporal fluctuations in the short-term interaural phase differences (IPDs) of sound ...

Predicting theater chair absorption from reverberation chamber measurements - comment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The relationship between the measured acoustic absorption coefficient of an array of theater chairs and the ratio of the perimeter length to plan area of the array is considered.

Blind estimation of reverberation time in classrooms and hospital wards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper investigates blind Reverberation Time (RT) estimation in occupied classrooms and hospital wards. Measurements are usually made while these spaces are unoccupied for logistical reasons.

Angle-Dependent Absorption of Sound on Porous Materials

open access: yesAcoustics, 2020
Sound-absorbing materials are usually measured in a reverberation chamber (diffuse field condition) or in an impedance tube (normal sound incidence). In this paper, we show how angle-dependent absorption coefficients could be measured in a factory-type ...

Visual and acoustic performance of shading devices – real scale laboratory measurements [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
There are several physical parameters that are taken into consideration when determining the level of agreeability of an enclosed space. For instance, when choosing the louvers for a room there are a multitude of criteria that might be considered such as

Acoustic Characterization of Rooms Using Reverberation Time Estimation Based on Supervised Learning Algorithm

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The measurement of reverberation time is an essential procedure for the characterization of the acoustic performance of rooms. The values returned by these measurements allow us to predict how the sound will be transformed by the walls and furnishings of

Reverberation: models, estimation and application

open access: yes, 2009
The use of reverberation models is required in many applications such as acoustic measurements, speech dereverberation and robust automatic speech recognition.

Comparison of different experimental methods for the assessment of the room's acoustics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The paper presents the acoustics analysis of three different enclosed spaces. These spaces (rooms) have different geometrical shapes and sizes and serve for different purposes.
