Study Notes
Sound Intensity
- Decibel (dB) is the unit used to measure sound intensity.
- Decibels measure the loudness of a sound.
Reverberation Time
- Reverberation time is the time it takes for sound to decay by 60 decibels (dB) in a space.
- It is measured in seconds (s).
- Several factors can affect reverberation time, including:
- Room size: Larger rooms generally have longer reverberation times.
- Room shape: Irregular shapes can create sound reflections and prolong reverberation time.
- Surface materials: Hard surfaces, like concrete or glass, reflect sound and increase reverberation time, while soft surfaces, like carpets and curtains, absorb sound and reduce reverberation time.
- Amount of furniture and people: Furniture and people absorb sound, reducing reverberation time.
