Overview

As part of an assignment analyzing room acoustics for my Audio Technology class, I created a MATLAB script to calculate the RT60 time for my room based on the dimensions and materials of the room and the surfaces in it.  RT60 is a measure of how long it takes for sound to decay in a space, and it varies by the frequency of the sound because different materials absorb different frequencies of sound more or less, resulting in longer or shorter decay times as the sound bounces off the surfaces and around a space.

The complete assignment file, documenting the room, analysis of room modes, and the RT60 calculator script and results can be viewed below.
