Abstract
The work presented in this paper was conducted as part of a student project in a senior course on Noise Control at Tennessee Tech. The project involved improving the acoustics of the multipurpose room in the university student center. There were repeated concerns regarding the poor acoustics conditions related with speech and intelligibility caused by excessive reverberations in the room. In order to solve this issue, an examination of the complete sound field in the room including reverberation time have been investigated with the aim of proposing solutions to improve the acoustics for future use. The evaluation of the room was done with both software simulation and experimental data obtained from on-site visit measurements. A comparison between the simulated and experimental data is presented and served as the basics for the analytical solutions necessary for acoustic optimization. Furthermore, renderings of possible mounting locations of acoustic panels with their specification have been provided based on the commercially available panels and cost consideration.
