Acoustical Design Study on Application of Absorption Materials

Abstract:

Taipei Top Church Auditorium is a hall primarily intended for praise and worship. A three dimensional ray tracing computer simulation was used to provide sound energy distribution on the audience area of the hall, realistic design have been performed. The volume of the hall is 24600m3, which is occupied for 2200 people and equipped the hall with acoustical curtains by modifying its acoustical characteristics. Objective measurements of impulse response are reported, and background noise control and noise isolation are also be considered in the design phase. Reinforcement system is conducted to meet all the activity for the acoustical environments.
