“…Instead, sound quality is evaluated based on personal preferences and experiences while listening within the room. Consequently, the acoustic designers of mosques must have the opportunity to hear the projected results at the earliest stage possible, ideally before the commencement of construction [1].…”

“…Practically, the use of room acoustics parameters objectively remains unfamiliar in Indonesia's context, even though room acoustics topics for mosques have existed for almost two decades [2]. Simultaneously, auralisation as one of the methods to assess room acoustics quality in mosques has not been fully explored, while in recent case studies such as concert halls, it has welladvanced [1]. Also, mosques in Indonesia are often not built for the ear, as they only please the eye.…”

Acoustic standards in mosques are available, but most people have a lack of understanding of these measures. Auralisation is an audio technology that uses impulse responses, dry sounds and convolution software to create authentic auditory experiences. In Indonesia, objective room acoustic parameters are still unknown and the potential of auralisation is underexplored. The study aims to predict acoustic quality and people’s preference for auralisation in a pyramid-shaped ceiling using field measurements and subjective ratings. The methodology includes pre-survey, RIR measurement, dry sound recording, auralisation, and subjective surveys. Background noise, T30, D50, and C80 were measured, while auralised samples of lectures and Quran recitations were evaluated. Respondents’ preferences generally correlated with T30, especially D50 (47%) for lectures and C80 (44%) for Quran recitations. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the interplay between subjective preferences and objective measurements and suggests that these parameters can predict acoustic quality in pyramid-shaped dome mosques, paving the way for better design practices and improved listening experiences.
