Computer models for simulation of the acoustics of rooms have become useful tools for acoustic consultants and researchers. The calculated reflectogram and decay curve represents the acoustical characteristics of a particular receiving point in a particular room, and this information may be used for auralization, ie to make the result audible. his new technique allows the operator to listen to the result by use of an anechoicly recorded sound signal as input. Some problems related to the choice of sound source will be discussed. With an auralization system the influence of added absorption material or the difference between different listening positions, echoes, coloration and many other acoustic effects can be evaluated by the use of the ears.

Please note! The Odeon-Sound auralisation system is no longer available and the auralisation techniques used in Odeon-Sound 1.0 are not those used in ODEON 2004 and later versions.
