| Acoustic structures are currently classified mainly in terms of their acoustic absorption and insulation properties. Knowing the sound scattering parameter can significantly improve the useful value of materials and identify their best applications. Currently no studies are performed in Poland on the sound scattering coefficients of materials. This is due to a complex measurement procedure and a lack of legal requirements. The authors have attempted to make such measurements on the basis of the standard ISO 17497 1:2004: Acoustics - Sound scattering properties of surfaces - Part 1: Measurement of the random incidence scattering coefficient in a reverberation room. Measurement and calculation methods are presented, and problems encountered during this study have been described. This issue is of particular importance, especially in the acoustic design of interiors. |
