Today's task is to help me with remedial room acoustics 101. I think I understand how to calculate the lowest room mode for a rectangular room - multiply the longest dimension by 2, then divide the speed of sound by that.
Does this still apply with a non rectangular room?
Here, for example, is my current apartment:
It is trapedzoidal, with concrete floors and brick outside (the diagonal) wall.
In the main living area, the maximum dimension is the width, although that is broken up by an open kitchen I haven't drawn.
Next longest is the diagonal wall.
Or do I take the dimension straight down the hall to the front wall?
TIA
