The results presented describe the effect of variations in the type of music rendered (in the form of live music from the cello, clarinet and the ensemble) from two music sources sites (the nave and the choir ...
Acoustic Silence, Acoustic Intelligibility and Acoustic Sacred Factor are the acoustically constituted determinants of tranquillity in a Catholic church. The results presented here are part of a study that investigates the behaviour of derived acoustic parameters in worship spaces. Acoustically, Silence Factor (SiF) is found to decay quadratically with LAeq (R2=0.95, p<0.01); Intelligibility Factor (InF) decays...

The results presented here are part of a study that investigates the behaviour of acoustically constituted worship parameters in six Catholic churches (Goa, India).
