This chapter first provides an introduction to the acoustic properties of textiles, which include propagation, absorption, and scattering of sound. The properties can be characterized by various parameters such as flow resistance, transmission loss, absorption coefficient, and scattering coefficient. Test and evaluation methods for obtaining these parameters are discussed. Based on the acoustic properties of the textiles, acoustics designers can make use of textiles in buildings and office environments to optimize sound quaUty depending on particular requirements. 

The acoustic quality in a room can be affected by the scattering of sound by the walls and objects inside. The scattering coefficient and the diffusion coefficient are two common measures to describe the scattering produced by a surface. The random incidence scattering coefficient of surfaces caused by surface roughness is measured in a...
