Room Acoustics is the study of the effects of sound in a room in relation to the overall desired sound quality of that room. Taking into account any existing acoustical properties of the room, one can take some simple room measurements to calculate the amount of sound absorption that can be added to the room to achieve the desired acoustical environment. Please refer to our “Room Acoustics” document and the “Reverberation Effect on Hearing” chart to determine your specific reverberation goals. Our Room Acoustics Calculator can help you determine how many Sabins (units of absorption) you will need to add to your room to reach your ideal end result. While this calculator can help provide you with basic calculations and sound measurements, MBI recommends the use of Acoustical Consultants for best results.
