Abstract
Nine small volume classrooms in schools located in the Chicago suburbs were tested to quantify speech intelligibility at various seat locations. Several popular intelligibility metrics were investigated, including Speech Transmission Index (STI), %Alcons, Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR), and 80 ms Useful/Detrimental Ratios (U80). Incorrect STI values were experienced in high noise environments, while the U80s and the SNRs were found to be the most accurate methodologies. Test results are evaluated against the guidelines of ANSI S12.60-2002, and match the data from previous research.
