English: Very simplified diagram: sound level in a reverberant cavity excited by a pulse, as a function of time. RT60 is the reverberation time. The small variations (small vertical peaks) of the pressure along the lines are not shown.
Reverberation time is a measure of the time required for the sound to "fade away" in an enclosed area after the source of the sound has stopped. When it comes to accurately measuring reverberation time with a meter, the term T 60 [ 6 ] (an abbreviation for reverberation time 60 dB) is used.
The most appropriate reverberation time depends on the use of the room. RT60 is a measure of reverberation time. [9] Times about 1.5 to 2 seconds are needed for opera theaters and concert halls. For broadcasting and recording studios and conference rooms, values under one second are frequently used. The recommended reverberation time is always ...
In a reverberant space, the sound perceived by a listener is a combination of direct and reverberant sound. The ratio of direct sound is dependent on the distance between the source and the listener, and upon the reverberation time in [the room]. At a certain distance the two will be equal. This is called the "critical distance."
Two oft-used measures of reverberation time quantify this parameter, : and . These values are the interval for the sound pressure level to the lower of 30 or 60 dBSPL . It can be obtained by measuring the sound pressure decrease after a sound impulse or by using approximate formulas such as Sabine's or Eyring's.
The Sound Reduction Index is expressed in decibels (dB). It is the weighted sound reduction index for a partition or single component only. This is a laboratory-only measurement, which uses knowledge of the relative sizes of the rooms in the test suite, and the reverberation time in the receiving room, and the known level of noise which can pass between the rooms in the suite by other routes ...
For example, in architectural acoustics the rectilinear trajectories of sound rays make it possible to determine reverberation time in a very simple way. The operation of fathometers and hydrolocators is based on measurements of the time required for sound rays to travel to a reflecting object and back. The ray concept is used in designing ...
