1. VOLUME OF THE ROOM

45 X 36 X 13 (ft)
=21060 (cubic ft)

2. We use the metric Reverberation Time 60 (RT60).

RT60 is defined as the measure of the time after the
sound source ceases that it takes for the sound pressure SOUND ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT DATA SPECIFIC AREAS
level to reduce by 60 dB.

3. RT60 = 0.05 V/a

RT60 = Reverberation Time
V = volume of the space (feet cubed) 6. RT60 = 0.05 X V/ a1xa2xa3 PROJECT NAME:

REVERBERATION TIME SHEET

a = sabins (total room absorption at given frequency)
RT60 = 0.05 X 21060 / (610.74 + 32.4 + 162)
STUDENT NAME :

MANAV B. JOSHI
4. sabins = Surface area of Material X coefficient of absorption
