Acoustic Chambers

[Hole in wall]

Reverberation Rooms

The School has two reverberation chambers for use in sound transmission loss testing and sound aborption testing.
For sound transmission loss testing, the sample is installed in a hole in the wall between the two rooms.
Sound in the source room will then pass through the test sample into the receiver room, where a traversing microphone or fixed microphones measure the sound pressure level in the room.

The anechoic room is used to measure acoustic radiation patterns from objects and when a quiet measurement environment is required.
