The Adrienne method (EN 1793-1), used to measure the sound absorption of noise barriers, is to be implemented in an impedance tube to calculate the absorption coefficient of any sample much quicker than with the method using standing wave ratio (ISO 10534- 1: 1998), which is used to measure the sound absorption of any materials in the impedance tube. In the impedance tube, we calculated the absorption coefficient of five different samples with the standing wave ratio method and with the implemented Adrienne method, in which we compare the impulse response of the incident and reflected sound in the time domain. By comparing impulse responses, very similar results were calculated six times faster and with a ten times better frequency resolution as with the standing wave ratio method.
