Abstract
<jats:p>This paper presents a comparative analysis of reverberation time (RT60) estimation using the Sabine formula and an artificial neural network (ANN) of the MLP (Multi - Layer Perceptron) ty. The first part of the study describes the experimental procedure, which includes the generation and processing of room impulse responses (RIRs), the estimation of RT60 using Schroeder’s algorithm and the Sabine formula, as well as the training and testing of the ANN. The second part presents a comparison of the RT60 values obtained using the Sabine formula and the ANN with respect to the reference values derived from Schroeder’s algorithm, where the results were validated by analyzing the mean square estimation errors (MSE). The experimental results were presented both graphically and numerically using the MATLAB software package. Keywords: Room Impulse Responses (RIRs), Sabine Formula, Schroeder Algorithm, Artificial Neural Network.</jats:p>
