Perception of reverberation time in small listening rooms (2002)
Journal Article
Niaounakis, T., & Davies, W. (2002). Perception of reverberation time in small listening rooms. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 50(5), 343-350

The perceptibility of small changes in reverberation time (RT) when music is reproduced within small studio control rooms was judged by a number of subjects. The aim of the study was to determine the difference limen (DL) for midfrequency RTs shorter... Read More about Perception of reverberation time in small listening rooms.

From concert halls to noise barriers : attenuation from interference gratings (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W. (2002, March). From concert halls to noise barriers : attenuation from interference gratings. Presented at Acoustics 2002, Salford, Greater Manchester

The seat dip effect is a low-frequency attenuation affecting sound travelling at grazing incidence over seating in auditoria. It is caused by scattered sound from the seats interfering with sound travelling directly from the source on the stage. In o...
