Limited reproducibility of absorption coefficients measured in different laboratories has been observed in the recent inter-laboratory test. This measurement uncertainty can result from the room acoustic design variance amongst laboratories and the material selection for qualification tests. Sound absorption measurements were performed in the reverberation room at the University of Technology Sydney, with test sample sizes and materials under different room acoustic conditions by installing different numbers of diffusers. With the measured data, initial work was made to decompose the sound absorption components based on the geometric feature of the test specimen, which is potential to assist the assessment of the diffuseness of the test facility and the optimization of diffuser installation.
