“…The approach developed in [14] for index assessing the acoustic quality of churches in 2014 proposed the extension for assessing with one uncorrelated partial index S T as a function of the sound strength G [11]. Studies have shown that it is possible to evaluate the acoustic properties of churches using a single number based on 5 acoustic parameters (T 30 , C 80 , RASTI, L Aeq and G).…”

“…The value of this index was calculated on the basis of acoustic parameters obtained from measurements inside the church, such as reverberation time T 30 , clarity of music C 80 , speech intelligibility RASTI and disturbing noise level L Aeq . On the basis of these parameters and developed calculation procedures, shown in [14], the partial indices were determined respectively: reverberation R, music sound M, speech intelligibility S and external disturbance D. By using these indices, it is possible to obtain information about the extent to which acoustic parameters are consistent with their preferred values, on a scale of 1 (parameter corresponds to its preferred value) to 0 (parameter deviates significantly from a preferred value).…”

“…In [14], the values of RASTI were shown versus the distance between the receiver and sound source for the 8 surveyed, unoccupied churches. In 7 churches, not taking into account the receivers placed nearest to the sound source, the speech intelligibility was bad and poor.…”

“…Based on years of research into the uniform assessment of the acoustic quality of churches, preceded by acoustic measurements of many such interiors, in 2013, in the paper [14], the GAP (Global Acoustic Properties) single number global index for assessing the acoustic properties of Roman Catholic churches was proposed. The value of this index was calculated on the basis of acoustic parameters obtained from measurements inside the church, such as reverberation time T 30 , clarity of music C 80 , speech intelligibility RASTI and disturbing noise level L Aeq .…”

“…Using the GAP single number index, the acoustic quality of 8 churches (on the basis of which the calculation model was designed) was evaluated [14]. The GAP index can assess any acoustic Roman Catholic church, as shown in [10].…”

A comparative analysis of the index assessment of church acoustics using rasti and sti Analiza porównawcza wskaźnikowej oceny akustycznej kościołów z użyciem rasti i sti AbstractThe article presents modified global assessment indices, developed in previous studies, for measuring the acoustic quality of Roman Catholic churches: the four-parameter Gap index and the Gi index based on five acoustic parameters. The replacement of RASTI, previously used in the acoustic assessment of churches, with STI has broadened the scope of church assessment and contributed to an improvement in the accuracy of the proposed method. Verification of new calculation procedures was performed on the 12 churches included in the calculation model and, additionally, on another church. Keywords: church acoustics, index method, acoustic qualityStreszczenie W artykule przedstawiono zmodyfikowane, opracowane w ramach wcześniejszych badań, wzory na wskaź-niki globalne oceny jakości akustycznej kościołów rzymsko-katolickich: 4 parametrowy Gap oraz bazujący na 5 parametrach akustycznych wskaźnik Gi. Zamiana dotychczas używanego w akustycznej ocenie wskaź-nikowej kościołów RASTI na STI poszerzyła zakres możliwości oceny kościołów oraz przyczyniła się do poprawy dokładności zaproponowanej metody. Weryfikację nowych procedur obliczeniowych przeprowadzono na 12 kościołach wchodzących w skład modelu obliczeniowego oraz dodatkowo na przykładzie jednego kościoła.Słowa kluczowe: akustyka kościołów, metoda wskaźnikowa, jakość akustyczna

Virtual reconstruction of indoor acoustics in cathedrals: the case of the cathedral of GranadaVirtual acoustics provides a highly useful tool for the investigation into the influence that spatial transformations may exert on indoor acoustics of cathedrals, which are remarkable spaces due to their heritage value, complexity and multifunctional character. The spatial organization of cathedrals is primarily governed by the location of the choir, which represents the main musical expression. Following various reforms, certain European cathedrals undertook a relocation of the choir stalls from their original position. The Cathedral of Granada is a highly significant case. Since its original construction, three major changes have occurred due to the relocation of the choir. In this article, simulation of indoor acoustics is employed to recover the soundfield in each of these three configurations. An extensive analysis compares the results of the main acoustic parameters in each of the virtual reconstruction models. Consequently, acoustic models are created and then calibrated based on a campaign of onsite measurements.
