Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine how reverberation time differs spatially in restaurants with different seating arrangements such as spaces with one main dining room versus spaces with several connected dining areas branching off a main area. The physical layouts of a number of restaurants were spatially recorded, and impulse responses were taken at set interval locations throughout the unoccupied restaurants. Reverberation times have been calculated from the impulse responses and spatially mapped throughout the rooms in order to visually understand the distributions. The average reverberation time and standard deviations in each restaurant are presented and compared to similar data calculated previously for classrooms (Peng et al., 2012). Sound levels have also been logged from each restaurant during occupied times, and relationships between sound levels in an area and local reverberation time are explored.
