[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 5207, member: 159"] So I had this thought while operating a scissor lift in a super reverberant gym where the RT was so bad that the intermittent warning beeper on the lift sounded like a continuous tone. Is it possible to develop a series of carefully created sounds/tones stuttered at certain rates so that an untrained ear could play a CD and determine the ballpark RT? (or at least a pass/fail) I figure they would get to a certain track where something is indistinguishable from something else and that would tell you about what the RT is. it wouldn't hold up in court, but it could be a great self-diagnosis tool for a customer to check their space and see if they might need treatment, or if a new customer calls up saying that their system is unintelligible we could have them run through the exercise and see what comes out. it seems like a lot of people have varying opinions on what constitutes "good" or "bad" acoustics I know someone smarter than me will either link me to someone who already researched this in the 60s, or will tell me why it just can't be done :) Jason [/QUOTE]
