SOUND LEVEL 95 dB
FREQUENCY 55 Hz - 18,000 Hz
Raked seats and raised stage allow the occupants in the furthest-most seats to hear clearly.
This is possible due to the effectiveness of the sound waves reaching the ears of the
occupants without the presence of sound interrupting obstacles.
ARRANGEMENTS OF SEATS
● Hybrid configuration of convex shaped and stepped ceiling that reflects the sound back towards the
seating zone and increases the volume of the sound.
● The convex shaped ceiling dissipate the sound to the centre and back part of auditorium. As the ceiling
is parallel to the floor, a little flutter echoes are being noted on stage.

ACOUSTIC TREATMENT AND COMPONENTS
STAGE FLOORING
● The internal noises is that the wall of the backstage is made out of pure concrete without any
other absorbent material.
● Source of internal noise can be found on top of the stages, because of the timber materials of
the flooring of the stage that cause the noises.
INTERNAL NOISE
● Air conditioning on the ceiling of the auditorium is also source of noise. Because of the size of
the auditorium, circulation of air flow is important. Hence full fan speed is needed sometimes
to change the air freshness & internal temperature rapidly.

CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
1. A successful design of and auditorium depends on its acoustic design such as the auditorium
layout and absorption materials used to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to
eliminate noise and unwanted sound.
2. The auditorium layout and the materials used on the structure and furniture, such as walls,
floor, chairs, etc, can effectively affect the acoustic inside the auditorium hall and even can
efficiently affect the sound from the outside of the auditorium hall.
3. Based on our analysis and calculation, the auditorium has a optimum reverberation time for a
multipurpose hall, which create echoes that is suitable for both speech musical performance.
4. It let us understand how the acoustic design works better depends on the functions of the
auditorium and uses the acoustic design to make the users comfort.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Scheduled maintenance should be held to fix Cempaka Sari Auditorium can reduce its
the loose screw, bolt and grease the door hinge and reverberation time to the desirable length by adding in
handle to prevent unwanted noise that would affect or more sound absorbent to increase its acoustic effect.
decrease the acoustic effect. Also major maintenance
also have to be organized by inviting professional
sound specialist to test out the acoustic level and
make sure it is well maintained.
Ventilation system will be improved so that Old carpets and cushion should be replace from time
portable air blower that will give out huge noise to the to time as new carpets are relatively softer and better. With
better absorption of sound, echoes are able to be absorb and
space can be eliminated. Air conditioning system
sound quality can be improved.
should be serviced occasionally in order to reduce the
noise destruction.
