ABSTRACT:
A method for measuring a first angular specific sound absorption spectrum of a first sound absorbing sample. The first sound absorbing sample has a predetermined random incidence sound absorption spectrum. The angular specific sound absorption spectrum is determined from a sound wave incident on a surface of the first sound absorbing sample with a predetermined angle of incidence that is greater than zero degrees from a plane parallel to the surface of the first surface. A first weighting factor that provides a fit of the angle specific sound absorption spectrum of the first sound absorbing sample to the predetermined random sound absorption spectrum is then determined. Next, a second angular specific sound absorption spectrum of a second sound absorbing sample at the predetermined angle of incidence is determined. The weighting factor is then used to determine the random specific sound absorption spectrum from the angle absorption spectrum of the second sound absorbing sample.
