Assessment of the acoustics of temple buildings and structures based on the parameter measure of height

Abstract

In this paper, based on the analysis of the results of field surveys of the acoustics of canonical prayer halls of the Orthodox and Muslim confessions, a proposal for an objective assessment of the specific sense of sacredness of religious events is developed. A new parameter for assessing this feeling is presented-the so - called "height measure" of the perception of the sound of the temple, with the method of its calculation and measurement. The relationship of this parameter with the known volume criteria of echo formations is estimated, depending on the geometry of the church (first of all, on the height of the main dome) and the signal-to-noise ratio for the characteristic areas of the parishioners ' accommodation.
