Abstract

Impulse testing is used by industry professionals to test many parameters of room acoustics, including the energy decay, frequency response, time response, etc. Current testing software makes this process as streamlined as possible, but generally must be utilized in quiet environments to yield high signal-to-ratios and more precise results. However, many real world situations cannot conform to the necessary standards needed for reliable data. This study tests various methods of impulse responses in background noise environments in an attempt to find the most reliable procedure for spaces with a high ambient noise levels. Additionally, extreme situations will be evaluated and a method will be derived to correct for the systematic error attributed to high background noise levels.
