“…), should be used in addition to the others already mentioned, when the church is characterized by parts (such as transepts and side chapels) which may reasonably behave as coupled volumes [14] or which may be used independently (i.e. to celebrate daily masses, for choir performance or rehearsals).…”

“…That objective is difficult to achieve, especially in large interiors. Hence, numerous publications present global research on selected interiors of that kind (Anderson et al, 1985;Doelle, 1972;Fearn, 1975;Giulianini et al, 1985;Klepper, 1995;Lewers et al, 1984;Raes et al, 1953). Such publications often serve as a signpost for authors who undertake further work of a similar nature in their countries (Engel et al, 1992;Sankiewicz, 1980).…”

Organologic and campanologic acoustical problems due to applications to sacral objects are characterized on ground of numerous reviewed publications and engineering reports. Participation of several involved research centres, mostly Polish, at solving these problems is evaluated. Some desirable future developments are indicated. Appendices bring examples of documentation on selected investigated objects.

“…Acoustical properties of coupled rooms have long been investigated in the context of architectural acoustics [1][2][3][4] because several closed spaces actually consist of smaller partial rooms which are coupled together. The orchestra pit and balconies in opera houses or theatres coupled to the main floor as well as churches with several naves and chapels are typical examples of architectural objects having a structure of coupled rooms.…”

In the present study, the acoustic characteristics of coupled rooms were investigated using the computer modelling application based on the modal expansion method. A numerical procedure enables the computation of shape and frequency of eigenmodes, and allows one to predict sound decay times at any point of a room space. Results of numerical simulation have shown that along with a change in a coupling area the effect of a mode degeneration appeared and there are two main reasons for this. First, a mode degeneration is associated with a convergence of frequencies of neighbouring modes with a decrease of coupling area. Another reason for the mode degeneration are variations in a sequence of modes with a change in the coupling area. It was demonstrated that in the coupled rooms several modes exhibit a considerable localization. A degree of mode localization was described theoretically by the "existence surface" of mode and it was found that the localization phenomenon has a great effect on the reverberation process because for some absorbing material distributions it caused the double-slope decay characterized by steep initial and slow late sound decays.
