本项目的初衷是回顾有关非Sabine空间中声音传播的现有文献。人们预计，为此类空间开发的一些声传播理论和模型可以进行调整，以改善由扩散场理论给出的声功率级和声压级之间的熟悉关系，该理论在典型的装修空间中并不适用。该项目的核心问题是找到一种适当的方法来预测某个位置的声压级LPA，因为声源的声功率级lw已知。具体来说，我们有兴趣对ASHRAE感兴趣的室内空间类型进行此类计算，我们还希望将计算扩展到同一空间中的多个声源。

The original intention in the present project was to review the existing literature dealing with sound propagation in non- Sabine spaces. It was expected that some of the theories and models of sound propagation developed for such spaces could be adapted to improve upon the familiar relationship between sound power level and sound pressure level given by the Diffuse Field Theory, which does not work well in typical furnished spaces.The central problem in this project was to find an adequate method for predicting the sound pressure level Lpat a certain location, due to a sound source whose sound power level lw, is known. Specifically, we are interested in making such calculations for the kinds of indoor spaces that are of interest to ASHRAE, and we also wish to extend the calculation to account for a number of sound sources in the same space.
