Abstract

Acoustic measurements are the obvious prerequisite of acoustic investigations, in research as well as in applied acoustics. They are an important tool for the analysis of acoustical problems or for creation of experimental references in theoretical and numerical approaches. The accuracy required can only be reached if certain requirements concerning the instrumentation are met and if the acoustical conditions and the measurement methods are clearly specified. In applied acoustics, acoustic measurements are often difficult to perform and to interpret.
