Abstract

Different kinds of acoustic materials are used in a concert hall design, which has different functions such as diffusing, reflecting, or absorbing. The cushion of chairs in concert halls usually uses porous sound-absorbing material, whose absorbing attributes are mainly determined by its flow resistance. In the design of Concert Hall at Gulangyu Music School in Xiamen, we measured the flow resistance of materials, trying to acquire the best sound-absorbing attributes by adjusting the flow resistance, and also tested the material samples’ absorbing coefficients in reverberation room. In a nutshell, measuring and analyzing flow resistance is an advanced method in acoustic design, which could help acousticians decide the most suitable absorbing attributes of chairs, and acquire the best sound quality.
