The EDT <strong>on</strong> the other hand shows a repetiti<strong>on</strong> of the tendency depending <strong>on</strong> positi<strong>on</strong> and herby the<br />

character of the <strong>room</strong>. E.g. it is easy to see receiver 3 being the <strong>on</strong>ly receiver placed under a<br />

reflecting ceiling. So the surfaces near the receiver effects the short reverberati<strong>on</strong> time in both<br />

measurements and models. This tendency is also visible in other parameters such as Clarity and STI<br />

shown later.<br />

T30 for S2 at 1000 Hz<br />

R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6<br />

There are large differences between reverberati<strong>on</strong> times (T30) from different models. A Just<br />

Noticeable Difference is again 5% for T30, being 0.03 s in this case. From the above figures it can be<br />

seen that in the majority of cases the differences between the measured reverberati<strong>on</strong> time and<br />

simulated in different models are very noticeable around 5 JNDs. The maximum deviati<strong>on</strong> in<br />

positi<strong>on</strong> 6 is as much as 17 JNDs. On average the spread in the results is around 8 JNDs.<br />

Comment: a JND of 5% is probably suggested in ISO 3382-1 with c<strong>on</strong>cert hall design in mind<br />

where T30 is typically around 2 sec<strong>on</strong>ds and thus JND is 0,1 sec<strong>on</strong>ds; we doubt that a difference of<br />

0.03 sec<strong>on</strong>ds is audible.<br />

Sound pressure level SPL is shown at receiver 1 to 6 for Source 1 and for source 2 in the following<br />

2 figures. As the SPL here is relative to the direct sound in the distance 10 m in a free field, it is the<br />

same as the Strength, G, in ISO 3382-1.<br />

JND for SPL is 1 dB. Sound pressure at 1 kHz varies mostly around 4 dB but up to 7 dB in<br />

different points between modeled and measured.<br />
