Understanding the impact of room acoustics on non-native listeners is crucial, particularly in standardized English as a foreign language (EFL) proficiency testing environments. This study aims to elucidate how acoustics influence test scores, considerin...

The agricultural activity of pruning olive trees generates waste which, due to long-standing practices and unawareness of the consequences, are burned on site, thereby producing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Therefore, in order to prevent environmenta...

Changes in acoustic parameters measured in a room may depend on the location and orientation of the sound source and microphones or on the reverberation conditions of the room. As was found in the research presented in this publication, reverberation in ...

It is well known that the uncertainty of input data has a great influence on the accuracy of room acoustics simulations. The aforementioned accuracy is significantly influenced by the selection of the acoustic properties of room-delimiting materials. Mor...

The noise effects in the room impulse response (RIR) make the decay range of the integrated impulse response insufficient for reliable determination of reverberation time (RT). One of the preferred techniques to minimize noise effects is based on noise s...

This paper describes the relationship between a strong architectural vision that is difficult to balance, and user expectations in terms of acoustics. The focus is on the use of corten steel as the dominant finishing material on façades and interiors to ...

In ordinary public rooms absorbent ceilings are normally used. However, reflective material such as diffusers can also be useful to improve the acoustic performance for this type of environment. In this study, different combinations of absorbers and diff...

The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archae...

Prior to Sabine?s work on the Fogg Art Museum and Boston Symphony Hall, several numerical guidelines had been developed and applied to the design of rooms with specific acoustic demands such as theatres, concert halls, and opera houses. Previous papers h...

The most common acoustical treatment of public rooms, such as schools, offices, and healthcare premises, is a suspended absorbent ceiling. The non-uniform distribution of the absorbent material, as well as the influence of sound-scattering objects such a...
