Reverberation Time Calculator

Calculate the reverberation time (RT60) of a room using acoustic formulas

Common Material Absorption Coefficients

Concrete: 0.02
Brick: 0.03
Glass: 0.04
Plaster on concrete: 0.06
Wood paneling: 0.10
Carpet on concrete: 0.30
Heavy curtains: 0.50
Acoustic panels: 0.80

Formulas Used

Sabine: RT60 = 0.161 × V / A

Eyring: RT60 = 0.161 × V / (-S × ln(1-α))

Where: V = volume, A = total absorption, S = surface area, α = absorption coefficient
