This calculator helps you determine the reverberation time of a room using the Sabine formula. It is intended for acousticians, audio engineers, and architects who need to design spaces with optimal sound quality.
All calculations are based on the Sabine formula for reverberation time. For detailed information, refer to the original works by Wallace Clement Sabine, available in acoustics engineering literature.
The Sabine formula for reverberation time (RT) is:
Where \(V\) is the volume of the room in cubic meters and \(A\) is the total absorption in sabins.
Reverberation time is the time it takes for sound to decay by 60 dB in a room.
Enter the volume of the room and the total absorption in sabins to calculate the reverberation time.
Yes, as long as you know the volume and absorption coefficients.
Reverberation time affects the acoustics of a room, impacting speech intelligibility and musical clarity.
Room size, shape, and the materials used in construction all influence reverberation time.
