Comparison of computer simulation and field test of indoor objective sound quality parameters
Abstract: In the past two years, we have participated in five professional recording studios about acoustic design and testing in Chengdu area. This article focuses on the acoustic design and computer simulation of one of the medium-sized professional recording studios. We provide three different models (a rough model, an engineering model, a refinement model) under the form of acoustic simulation. In different simulations, the objective sound quality parameters of the hall are calculated respectively, and we compare these parameters with the parameters obtained in the field testing. The relative errors between computer simulations and actual measurements are calculated in three different model forms in order to verify the computer simulation in the objective sound quality parameters of the simulation accuracy.
