Abstract:As the development of computer technology,auralization method is widely conducted in subjective experiment.ODEON,an acoustic software which can simulate the sound field nicely,was used as a tool to compare the speech intelligibility between large-volume space and long space.The results indicate that in the same space the early-decay-time performs more prominently than signal-noise-ratio.As a result,the early-decay-time is proposed to be designed as the main parameter and be less than 1.5 seconds in rooms where the main target is to obtain a high speech intelligibility.
