• Impulse response testing
• Acoustic engineers and architects must use
  impulse response testing to evaluate the
  acoustics of a room. It involves sending an
  impulse soundsuch as from a starting pistol or
  specialized apparatusinto a space and timing how
  long it takes for the sound to travel to various
  points and quiet down. This testing aids
  specialists in comprehending the acoustic
  properties of a room and in developing suitable
  solutions for the best possible sound quality and
  comfort.
• Sound Mapping
• Sound mapping helps to measure sound in different
  parts of a room by making use of specialized
  equipment like microphones or SPL meters. The
  data then gets analyzed and compared with
  standards to find the deviations in absorption
  and reflection of sound. It also helps in finding
  the reverberation times which can in turn help in
  monitoring environmental noise levels, identify
  the sources of excessive noise in residential and
  commercial areas.

Simple foot test There are easy experiments you
can run to evaluate the acoustics in a
symmetrical environment with parallel surfaces.
For accurate results, conducting these tests in a
calm setting on your own is recommended. Start by
moving about the space while keeping an ear out
for your footfall. You can close your eyes if
it's okay to do so. Listen for echoes and
reverberation. If you feel that your footsteps
are loud and echoing, it suggests that the room
may have bad acoustics Flutter Echoes Clap
loudly while standing in the middle of the room,
shut the door, and listen for flutter echoes to
evaluate the room's acoustics. These piercing,
high-pitched echoes are an indication of the
room's acoustics. You can better comprehend
acoustic variances by carrying out this test in
multiple rooms of varying shapes and sizes.
