In last week's assignment, you calculated mean free path, total absorption, and reverberation time for a room that is 4 m long, 7 m wide, and has a ceiling height of 3 m. The floor is hardwood,  = .15 at 500 Hz. The walls are gypsum wallboard (GWB),  = .30 at 500 Hz. The ceiling is acoustic ceiling tile (ACT),  = .95 at 500 Hz.   1) What is the room constant for this room?

Question

In last week's assignment, you calculated mean free path, total absorption, and reverberation time for a room that is 4 m long, 7 m wide, and has a ceiling height of 3 m.

The floor is hardwood,  = .15 at 500 Hz.

The walls are gypsum wallboard (GWB),  = .30 at 500 Hz.

The ceiling is acoustic ceiling tile (ACT),  = .95 at 500 Hz.

 

1) What is the room constant for this room?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given dataThe total sound absorption in a room with Hardwood Area A = 28m2Absorption coefficient of hard wood= 0.15ACT Proof area = 28m2Absorption coefficient of ACT proof = 0.95GWB walls area = 66m2GWB walls absorption coefficient = 0.3To determine the room constant for the room?
