The tests shown above, the Sabine equation to the left and the Eyring equation to the right, show the predicted reverberation times for this room from each equation.
*The Eyring equation was completed with minimal knowledge of how to complete the equation and so may not be entirely accurate. It was completed by following a post found on the online forum for SoundOnSound magazine. Found at:

This in itself adds to the argument of why individuals could be turning to use technology for room acoustic measurement due to human error.

(The results of this test were based on my hearing of the sound being reverberated in the room. Therefore the timing that is seen in the video may not reflect the sound that is being heard in the video due to the camera being used)

Results
1 - 1.5 2 - 1.61 3 - 1.84 4 - 2.15 The reason for having 4 tests in this set was that I mistook a sound for the start of the balloon popping. James, the balloon popper in this instance, had tried to pop the ballon, it hadn't popped so did it again, but after I had started the clock. |

I conducted the stopwatch test on this room twice as I believed that I had stopped the watch too early on the first go on the first set of tests (the video shown on the right). When I conducted the test a second time (the video on the right) it confirmed that I was timing the sound, not from the sound of the balloon popping ending, but from the sound of the lighting truss installed in the room giving a ringing sound, which I first mistook for the balloon.
This is a good example to do a test more than once, in case an unknown factor can alter results, such as the materials in the room or a degree of human error, as seen in the 2nd set of tests.
