Acoustics of a Living Room
Introduction
The sound we experience from our stereo or home theater systems in our living rooms is influenced not only by the quality of loudspeakers, but other factors, for example, the shape of the room, and the type and placement of the furniture. Reflections from walls and windows can both enhance and distort the sound that reaches our ears, and the low bass notes from the speaker woofer units can shake the windows and make the floor vibrate. This happens only for certain frequencies — the eigenfrequencies of the room. The simulation we set-up in this tutorial solves for the eigenfrequencies of a living room in the low frequency range, and analyzes the acoustic field in the room when the sound sources are the woofer units. The analysis is useful, for example, when optimizing for loudspeaker locations inside a living room.
Model Definition
The geometry for the living room used in this analysis is synchronized from Revit® through the LiveLink interface. The room is equipped with a flat-screen TV, a TV stand, a sideboard, a table, two speakers, a bookcase, and two couches. The Revit project file has been saved with the synchronization settings that generate and transfer the volume of the living room, the walls as solid objects, and the furniture. It is not necessary for the analysis to include fully detailed geometry for the furniture in the room. The bookcase is synchronized as a bounding box, while the other furniture items include the original detail level. Further simplifications are done to the synchronized furniture objects inside COMSOL Multiphysics. Selections that are used for model settings are generated for all geometric objects during synchronization.
Figure 1: The room geometry and boundary conditions.
The simulation is set-up with the Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain interface to study the sound propagation in free air. Most boundaries in the model — walls, floor, ceiling, and furniture — are assumed to be perfectly rigid (sound hard boundaries), except for the soft surfaces of the two couches. On the couch surfaces an impedance value is set that represents the sound dampening and absorption properties of the material. A normal acceleration is applied to the boundaries that represent the woofer units in the model.
Two studies are added to the model. The eigenfrequency analysis computes the resonance frequencies of the room in the vicinity of 10 Hz together with the corresponding eigenmodes. The frequency domain analysis is set-up to run at 100 Hz.
Results and Discussion
The eigenmodes shows the pressure distribution at the resonance frequencies. Specifically they allow us to identify where there will be no sound (at the nodes) and where the sound will be amplified (at the antinodes). The absolute in an eigenfrequency study do not have any physical meaning.
The real part of the complex valued eigenfrequency represents the frequency at which the system is resonant. The imaginary part is related to the losses at the eigenfrequency an thus the Q-factor of the resonance.
All modes have local maxima in the corners of an empty room so speakers in the corners excite all eigenfrequencies. This simulation predicts eigenmodes that resemble those of the corresponding empty room. The higher the frequency, the more the placing of the furniture matters. The prediction that speakers placed in the corners of the room excite many eigenmodes and give a fuller and more neutral sound, however, holds for real-life rooms.
Figure 2: The sound pressure distribution for an eigenfrequency of 38.4 Hz. The real part of the pressure is visualized as an isosurface plot, and the absolute value of the pressure as a boundary plot.
The results of the frequency domain study allow us to study the acoustic field in the room for the chosen frequency, in this case 100 Hz. More specifically it can be used to extract a transfer function from the speaker to any listening location. This can, for example, be used to fine-tune the phase difference between the speakers to optimize the sound in a specific location of the room.
Figure 3: The sound pressure level produced from the speaker for a frequency of 100 Hz.
Intensity plots, such as the one displayed in Figure 4, allow a visual inspection of the energy flow from the loudspeakers. Typically near resonances the flow will be toward specific points in space.
