About

About the course

Course content

The course includes methods for calculating sound fields in rooms with wave theoretical methods, statistical methods, geometrical acoustics methods and computational implementations. Acoustical measurement techniques, sound absorption, and psychoacoustic criteria for evaluation of room acoustic quality are covered as well.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: (1) To get a profound understanding of the common theoretical models of sound fields in rooms (2) To get a profound understanding of how sound in a room is perceived by a listener (3) To get a basic understanding of electroacoustical systems for auditoria (4) To get a profound understanding of room acoustical measurement techniques.
Skills: (1) To be able to analyze and predict sound fields according to various theoretical models, and to use computer implementations of some of these methods. (2) To be able to measure the acoustical properties of a room. (3) To be able to analyze a measured, or predicted, room impulse response in terms of psychoacoustical effects.
