Statistical analysis of a set of Parisian Concert Halls and Theatres

Jean-Dominique Polack , Fábio Leão Figueiredo , Shu Liu

During the year of 2009, the room acoustics group of the LAM (Équipe Lutheries, Acoustique, Musique de l’Institut Jean Le Rond d’Alembert - Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris) performed a series of acoustical measurements in music halls in Paris. The halls were chosen in regarding their importance to the historic, architectural or acoustic domains. The measured ensemble of fourteen rooms includes quite different architectural designs. The measurements were made both in empty and in occupied rooms, and a comprehensive series of statistical analysis was carried out to fully characterize the database thus obtained. The presentation briefly describes the protocol, then moves on to the statistical analysis. The results obtained draw new insight into the structure of room acoustical measurements, and will be compared with results from the literature.
