Best Answer

The reverberation time for a room depends on the ratio of the volume of the room to the total effective absorbing area of the room. The effective absorbing area will depend on the materials which make up the room and which are in the room. The effective absorbing area will depend on frequency. As an example, if a wall absorbs 30% of the sound (at a given frequency) for each reflection, the effective area for the wall will be 0.3 times the actual area of the wall. There are tables of typical effective areas, often reported in "sabins," for other objects, such as people, chairs, etc.
