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.

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