Minimal Input Models for Sound Level and Reverberation Time Prediction in Enclosed Spaces

Abstract

Highly advanced computer models for the prediction of sound in rooms are now available. However, these tools are complex and require a skilled acoustician to use them effectively and hence there is a need for simpler models. A simple model needs to be accurate and quick to use, but most importantly should require a minimum amount of input data to construct the model. The resulting models are freely available to use and can be found at http://www.sbu.ac.uk/acogrp/steve.html.
