Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for modification of an acoustic environment.
- the propagation of sound in a room is affected by resonance phenomena in the room.
- Resonance phenomena in a room are dependent on the size of the room and the damping properties of the walls and interior.
- the period required for a sound level to decrease with a certain amount, in particular 60 dB, after sound source has stopped producing sound is defined as the Reverberation Time.
- a long Reverberation Time at frequencies corresponding to speech is disturbing in an office environment, why these corresponding frequencies are aimed to be damped as much as possible.
- Gregorian music is mostly enjoyable in rooms with long Reverberation Times, for example churches.
- For Rock concerts, a short Reverberation Time is desirable for the lower frequencies.
- Typical desired Reverberation Times are for class rooms and office environments 0.6 seconds, for Rock music 0.7 - 1 second, for classical concerts 2 seconds.
- a system for acoustical partition for a stereo or listening room which functions to balance the frequencies from the sound output by absorbing standing base wavelengths and providing multi-wavelength absorption and reflection capabilities for mid- wavelengths and high- wavelengths.
- an acoustical partition comprising a wall section defining an enclosed space, a frame structure contained within the wall section, and an insulation layer contained within the frame structure such that an air cavity is created at the most central area within the wall section.
- each modular element may be one of three types; the first type providing variable absorption, the second type providing variable absorption in a mutually exclusive frequency range to the first type, and the third type providing variable absorption or alternatively diffusion over a broad frequency range.
- Each modular element contains a local control means to effect the variation, and an external actuation sensor for manual control over each modular element.
- transducers and a noise source located within the space which provides a determination of the actual acoustic environment.
- acoustic modules comprises acoustic dampers and acoustic dif- fusers.
- the method comprises measuring at predetermined places in the environment the actual acoustic response of the environment to an emitted sound profile.
- the environ- ment may for example be concert hall, a classroom, an office environment, a listening room, or a restaurant. Even for outdoor environments may the method of the invention find application.
- a sound with a certain profile is emitted and the response is measured, preferably with a microphone with known characteristics, and recorded.
- a sound should usually have a profile which reveals the response of the room for a broad range of frequencies.
- the method works as well for sound profiles limited to a narrow frequency range.
- Broad noise profiles are achieved with white noise, pink noise, and sound from an explosion of a gas balloon.
- a gas balloon may be brought to explosion at certain locations inside the actual room, after which the acoustic response of the room is measured and recorded, typically as a set of response data, preferably digital data.
- the acoustic response of the room may be different depending on the location of the explosion and recording different sets of data for different locations would result in a more complete response characterisation of the room.
- the response data for a single explosion may be sufficient.
- the acoustic response of the room may be different from the intended acoustic re- sponse profile that has been identified as the optimum.
- the Reverberation Time may be very long, while the intention may be a short Reverberation time, especially at higher frequencies. In this case, the actual acoustic response has to be changed in order to obtain a satisfactory environment.
- environment data indicative of the enclosure of the environment are registered as well.
- the enclosure means primarily the form of the room with walls, plateaus and the like.
- properties and locations of acoustically influencing objects in the enclosure may be taken into account.
- Certain objects, as for example heavy armchairs are known to have damping properties as well, and the location of these objects give an indication of the altering of the response profile in dependence of these objects.
- a model is constructed, preferably in a computer program, where virtual acoustic modules, which are acoustic dampers and/or diffusers with certain characteristics, are placed in the model room at different locations for achieving the intended response profile in the environment.
- the computer routine performs a calculation of the change of the acoustic response profile in dependence of placement of the number, type, and location of the modules.
- the computing implies decomposition of the response data into subsets of data corresponding to discrete frequency intervals and determining for the subsets of data the corresponding Rever- beration Time. This Reverberation Time may be dependent on the location in the room, which during computation can be taken into account if several sets of response data are available.
- This computer routine may be performed with an operator, but may as well be an it- erative process done automatically by the computer.
- virtual modules are placed in the model room in the computer program at certain start positions, for example dampers may be placed in corners, if the damping should be mostly at low frequencies, and on walls or ceilings, if the damping primarily is for higher frequencies.
- the influence of these modules in the model room is calculated with the actual response data as a starting data set.
- the modules are then replaced and a new response profile is calculated. Changing the location of the modules and adding or subtracting these virtual modules after relatively few iterations results in a response profile which approximately is equal to the intended response profile.
- the final data set reveals the number of necessary modules and their location inside the room.
- the modules may then be purchased for the real environment and placed in the room in accordance with the model.
- the modules are passive modules, that is to say, preferably no electronics with active function is incor- porated in these modules.
- the method according to the invention may also be used with this kind of modules.
- the measuring, storing and identifying is performed by a user of the environment, while the computing is performed by an agent.
- agent covers a person performing the calculation with a computer program, but covers also an automated computer program performing the calculation without human interference.
- the user may after having performed the measurements send the response data, the environment data and the identification of the intended response profile to the agent.
- This transmitting from the user to the agent is done via a data transmission network, preferably the Internet.
- the calculated results with the proposed data for the location of the dampers and/or diffusers in the room are transmitted back to the user.
- This embodiment allows the user at low cost and with high efficiency to change the acoustic environment of a room in a direction desired by the user.
- the analysis of the room with the proposal of dampers and diffusers is not geographically limited.
- the user has to purchase the dampers and eventual diffusers afterwards, eventually by post order through the Internet, and install them at the prescribed locations.
- the user needs not buy more modules than proposed by the agent, which is an advantage. Without the calculation, the user might have been tempted to buy a higher number of modules in order to have sufficient degrees of freedom for by trial and error methods to achieve an acceptable result.
- the method according to the invention is therefore a very efficient way of optimising acoustic environments.
- the modules may be categorised in at least two categories, where the frequency of the maximum damping efficiency of the modules are dependent on the category.
- the user desires to change the acoustic environment for higher frequencies, he may be proposed to buy the corresponding modules, dampers and/or diffusers for this frequency range.
- the advantage is, that costs for the user and weight are kept at a minimum, in contrast to for example certain damping modules according to prior art, where a broader range of frequencies is damped and where the modules are larger and heavier, and therefore more expensive.
- the modules of the system that the user may install are in principle different for different categories depending on the frequency range and whether the module is a damper or a diffuser. However, the modules may have a visual appearance independent of the category.
- the modules can be designed with a more anonymous appearance when installed in a room.
- the modules may be designed as boxes with a thin fabric in front which has negligible influence on the damping or diffusing properties.
- the method of the invention allows for incorporation of the effect in the calculation proc- ess, and the intended acoustic response may be reached nevertheless.
- the dimensions of the different modules are equal.
- the lower module may be exchanged with a module from another category without changing the location of the upper module. This would not be possible if the lower module would be exchanged with a larger one. This is important for the calculation, because this way, one virtual module can be exchanged with another to investigate the effect of this change without having to take into account the eventual displacement of the remaining virtual modules. Also for the placement in the environment in reality, this leaves more degrees of freedom for the actual placement of the modules, than if modules in different categories would have different sizes. Also, equal dimensions of different modules in the system are advantageous for the aesthetic appearance of the final configuration in the environment.
- the modules which the user may be proposed to purchase and install, are categorised in three categories, where the first category implies intended damping in the low frequency range between 20 Hz and 230 Hz, preferably between 50 Hz and 160 Hz, where the second category implies intended damping in the mid frequency range between 80 Hz and 1600 Hz, preferably between 100 Hz and 1 kHz, and the third category implies intended damping in the high frequency range between 100 Hz and 20 kHz, preferably between 125 Hz and 10 kHz.
- Low frequency dampers according to the invention for the purpose as described may have a damping membrane with an area weight of between 2 and 4 kg/m , preferably between 2.5 and 4 kg/m 2 , and most preferably between 3.12 and 4 kg/m 2 .
- Mid frequency dampers may have an absorber front equipped with openings, wherein these openings have a diameter of between 1 and 10 mm and an opening depth of between 4 to 6 mm, and wherein the depth of the modules in the second category preferably is between 0.18 and 0.20 m.
- the dampers have porous and/or a fibrous material inside.

- FIG. 10 shows resonance frequencies for a mid range absorber with 517 holes in de- pendence of hole radius for different ratios between hole radius and module depth.
- FIG. 1 part of a room 1 is shown, wherein the acoustic profile is to be measured.
- a sound source 2 for example a loudspeaker or a gun, is placed in a corner 3 of the room.
- a different sound source 2 may be a gas balloon.
- the emitted sound from the exploding balloon 2 is measured and recorded with a microphone 4.
- the characteristic of the microphone is known, which is an advantage for the calculation at a later stage.
- noise may be emitted, for example white or pink noise from a sound generator.
- This can be a specific generator with a known output characteristic, but also the users own stereo system may be used for this purpose.
- the performance of the loudspeakers may influence the frequency spectrum of the noise, however, as only the Reverberation Time is taken into account in the cal- culations, the computed result is independent of the loudspeaker performance.
- FIG. 2 shows in a flow diagram, the method according to the invention.
- a sound is emitted 201 from a certain location of the room.
- the actual acoustic response is measured 202 with a microphone and recorded.
- This procedure may be re- peated 203 for different locations in order to achieve a more complete data set for the acoustic performance of the room.
- This data set may be recorded and translated into a digital format 204 that without loss can be transmitted 205 to the location for the computing process 208.
- the computing process may be performed at the location of the room, but may also be at a distant location to which the data are sent 205 via the Internet.
- environment data 206 indicative of the enclosure of the room that is to say data describing the walls and object in the room, are created and sent 205 to the location of the computing process.
- environment data and the intended acoustic profile 207 are sent together with the data set for the measured acoustic response.
- the intended acoustic profile may contain information about the intended Reverberation Time for different frequencies at certain locations in the room, for example the centre of the room.
- a model for the room is created 209, and according to predetermined algorithms in the computer program, a first set of virtual dampers and/or diffusers are introduced 210 into the model and a certain location is found 211.
- low frequency absorbers are placed in corners of the room and mid frequency and high frequency absorbers are placed on walls and ceilings.
- a new profile is calculated 212 on the basis of the virtual dampers, eventual virtual diffusers and their location in the model.
- the efficiency of damping can be calculated for different frequencies and the corresponding Reverberation Times can be calculated.
- the calculated profile is then compared 213 with the intended acoustic profile.
- the location of the modules and the identifications of the modules is sent 124 to the user as a prescription for modifying the acoustic characteristics of the room.
- the user has to purchase the determined modules and place those modules at the right location in congruence with the computed data.
- the computer program takes into account that as few modules as possible should be used to find the appropriate acoustic profile.
- the user may modify the room to achieve the intended acoustic response. Examples for typical arrangements of modules are shown in FIG. 3a, 3b, and
- the user may chose to receive more than one computational result for different in- tended profiles. This may be of interest, if the room is used for different sound experiences, for example a classical concert and also rock concerts, where in the latter situation the Reverberation Time should be much shorter for preferred sound experiences.
- the computation may take into account the intention of the user to relocate as few as possible modules for changing between the different acoustic response pro- files. This may be important for the user in case that a concert hall has to be modified acoustically within a very short time, for example from one day to another.
- FIG. 4 a typical constructional scheme is shown for a damper according to the invention.
- a damping material 403 typical fibrous or porous material, for example paper, is located in case that the damper is used for high frequency damping.
- a front cover 404 is used to achieve an outer appearance independent of the type of damper.
- a frequency plate 405 is placed in front of the damping material 403.
- the frequency plate 405 is shown in more detail in FIG. 5. It comprises an arrangement of holes 501 in the plate, where the diameter of the holes, the depth of the holes depending on the thickness of the plate, and the number and location of the holes influence the performance of the plate.
- the frequency plate 405 is substituted by a damping membrane 406.
- the damping membrane for example made of plastic or bitumen, is elastic but has a relatively high weight in order to absorb energy from the low frequency wave.
- a diffuser 600 is shown in FIG. 6.
- the diffuser 600 comprises a number of diffusing elements 601 which have to be oriented perpendicular to the desired diffusing direction.
- the ability to diffuse efficiently in a certain frequency range depends on the dimensions of the diffusing elements 601.
- the two diffusers 600, 600' can be combined to one module according to the invention. Inside such a module, more than two diffusers can be arranged as well if this should be desirable.
- Diffusers have been fabricated with plates or sticks of wood, which, however, results in very heavy diffusers.
- Diffusers according to the invention are preferably made of a light weight material, for example rigid polymer foam.
- the reason for the use of a diffuser in an acoustic environment is to counteract certain acoustic reflections which are experienced as disturbing for the listener. This may be achieved with dampers as well, but it might be desirable to avoid these disturbing reflections without influencing the Reverberation Time. In the latter case, a diffuser is preferred to a damper.
- the different types of modules are covered with the same front cover 404, which may be a fabric that does not influence the propagation of sound through it. However, if the front cover 404 influences the sound propagation through it, this may easily be taken in to account in the computing process.
- FIG. 8 shows the characteristic absorption curves 801, 802, 803, for a low, mid and high frequency damper, respectively.
- the dampers are 0.6m x 0.6 m with a depth of 0.20 m.
- the low frequency damper has a membrane with a weight of 3.12 kg/m 2 .
- the damping is efficient a very broad region of 20 to 230 Hz, typically more than one octave, and highly efficient in the region of 50 Hz to 160 Hz.
- the shown absorption curve 802 corresponds to the performance of a mid frequency damper with 296 holes, hole depth of 8 mm, hole diameter of 5 mm, and a module depth of 180 mm.
- the resonance frequency of a mid frequency damper is shown in dependence of the hole radius in mm. From the lowest to the most upper solid curve, the ratio of hole depth to the module depth is 10/200, 8/200, 6/200, and 4/200, respectively, and for the lowest to the upper most stippled curve, the ratio of hole depth to the module depth is 10/180, 8/180, 6/180 and 4/180, respectively. It is seen that decreasing the hole depth, decreasing the depth of the module, and decreasing the hole diameter increases the resonance frequency.
- the resonance frequencies for a mid range frequency absorber is shown with 517 holes. It is seen in comparison with FIG. 9 that an increase of the number of holes implies an increase of the resonance frequency, especially for larger hole diameters.
