ruumiakustika
Ruumiakustika, or room acoustics, is the study of how sound behaves in enclosed spaces. It considers how room volume, geometry, surface materials, and furnishings influence reflection, absorption, scattering, and diffusion, and how these factors affect loudness, timbre, reverberation, and speech intelligibility for listeners and performers.
Key metrics include reverberation time (RT60), the time for sound levels to decay by 60 dB, and
Design strategies aim to balance reflection and absorption. For speech spaces, moderate absorption and diffusion reduce
Measurement and modeling rely on impulse responses, swept sine signals, and standards such as ISO 3382 for
Applications span concert halls, recording studios, control rooms, cinemas, classrooms, and workplace environments. Good ruumiakustika improves
