On the importance of early reflections for speech in rooms.
TL;DR: The speech intelligibility test results confirm the importance of early reflections for achieving good conditions for speech in rooms and show that for common conditions where the direct sound is reduced, it is only possible to understand speech because of the presence ofEarly reflections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speech intelligibility studies in classrooms.
TL;DR: In this paper, a speech intelligibility test and acoustical measurements were made in ten occupied classrooms and the interrelationships of these measures were considered to evaluate which were most appropriate in classrooms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of acoustical conditions for speech communication in working elementary school classrooms.
Hiroshi Sato,John S. Bradley +1 more
TL;DR: Detailed analyses of early and late-arriving speech sounds showed these sound levels could be predicted quite accurately and suggest improved approaches to room acoustics design.
Journal ArticleDOI
The intelligibility of speech in elementary school classrooms.
John S. Bradley,H. Sato +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that +15 dB signal-to-noise ratio is not adequate for the youngest children, and estimates of the fraction of students experiencing near-ideal acoustical conditions were made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of speech intelligibility in rooms.
TL;DR: Several physical measures, although based on very different calculation procedures, were quite strongly related to each other, and the most successful forms of each type of measure were of similar prediction accuracy, but the useful/detrimental ratios based on a 0.08-s early time interval were most accurate.
