Abstract
The article focuses on an optimized method for Helmholtz resonators (HR) design to be used in room acoustics. They are resonators in the form of acoustic wall facings and ceilings formed by perforated boards with circular apertures. In order to verify available calculation methods for sound absorption coefficient, an experiment was performed in a reverberation room. Several variants of the internal absorbent and internal arrangement of the HR cavity for the experiment were measured. The measured data were compared with two available methods of sound absorption coefficient calculation for normal incidence using a 1D transfer matrix and electro-acoustic analogy. The calculation optimization was performed with the use of the measured data with the aim to reach better conformity of calculated courses of the sound absorption coefficient and the reverberation room measurements.
