This talk will be about the research conducted in Virtual Acoustics team at Aalto University lead by professors Lauri Savioja and Tapio Lokki. It is related to the acoustic measurement and analysis of the concert halls, as well as their sensory evaluation. The ultimate goal is to understand how room acoustics modify the quality of sound. The research has spawned new spatial sound rendering methods, analysis tools, and listening test methods. Among others, the results show why shoebox halls tend to be the most successfull designs for concert halls. In more detail, the work of the presenter on the seat-dip effect and perception of bass in concert halls will be discussed.
