(Aluminum honeycomb panel) What is the relationship between architectural design and reverberation time

What is reverberation time?

This is one of the acoustic properties of most interior spaces that can be predicted and measured. It represents the time interval that reflects the sound decay, in seconds, after becoming a loud sound inaudible, such as hand clapping, has stopped.

Why is it important?

Reverberation time is an indicator of sound quality in speech and music space. Short RTs(< 1.0 seconds) are preferred for good intelligibility in teaching, meeting and meeting spaces to ensure optimal verbal communication.

However, for music creation and appreciation in halls and auditoriums, long RTs(> 1.5 seconds) are desirable.

What is the relationship between architectural design and reverberation time?

In some European countries, legislation recognizes the need for optimal acoustic conditions in public places (especially in education and healthcare) and provides guidance and acceptable standard RT values. RT space is mainly composed of its volume and sound-absorbing materials. A large volume results in long RTs while an increased amount of sound absorption results in short RTs as shown in the relationship: RT = volume/absorption x constant.

For example, a small classroom with suspended sound ceilings and carpets will have a short RT, while a large multi-purpose room with plasterboard ceilings and hardwood floors will have a long RT.

At present, many people will choose to use aluminum honeycomb panel to decorate the wall and the top surface, the reason is very simple because the aluminum honeycomb panel built-in honeycomb panel has a good sound insulation effect.

If you are still using the traditional old decoration routines, Xiaobian suggests that you may as well try the aluminum honeycomb panel, the effect will bring you surprise.
