Reverb Time Simulator

This simulation is now available to any client working with Haverstick Designs as it allows clients to hear how treatment will affect the space prior to its purchase or installment. Please contact Haverstick Designs with any questions about this simulation or to start a project of your own!

Acoustics is not affected by the room volume alone. The surface materials of the walls, floors, ceilings, and other large objects in the room can all affect the response of a room. Two rooms of the exact same size can produce two completely different acoustical responses and they will need to be treated differently as a result. Even if these surface materials are also the same, other acoustical issues may persist due to other factors. Haverstick Designs works with each client individually and tailors the treatment to best suit the needs of each room.

The speech audio sample was recorded by John Spicer of Broken Soul Audio. The Praise Band music clip is a snippet of the song, “Friend,” by TwoEight recorded at Mercy Road Church. The Choir music clip is a recording of Purdue University Heart & Soul gospel choir’s specialty group, Soul Sisters, performing "Clear Blue Morning."

All materials react differently across the frequency spectrum. For example, softer materials like drapes will absorb higher frequencies but won’t noticeably alter lower frequencies. Treating all frequencies the same does not reflect what actually occurs in a real room. By simulating the reverberation times based on all materials in the room at the different octave band frequencies, a much more realistic sample can be achieved.
