Reverberation measurement set for the interrupted noise method

Abstract

This paper describes the methodology of measuring the sound absorption coefficient in a reverberation room. For its purpose, a measuring set was created combining professional with widely available hardware suitable for acoustic reverberation measurements. For the measurement itself, the interrupted noise method was chosen based on the standard ČSN EN ISO 354. Measurement and evaluation of data take place using scripts written in the Python programming language. An effective measuring set was developed both in terms of operation during measurement and in terms of subsequent data processing, accessing and graphical presentation.This paper describes the methodology of measuring the sound absorption coefficient in a reverberation room.
