Acoustical designers are increasingly incorporating coupled rooms in performing-arts spaces. Such designs
include reverberant secondary rooms coupled to main audience chambers in concert halls and adaptation of
opera houses and theatres for concert-hall use via adjustable orchestra shells that couple audience
chambers to stage houses. These applications have prompted research on sound fields in coupled-room
systems. Having developed an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of statistical-acoustics (SA)
predictions, the validity of geometrical-acoustics (GA) modelling tools has been re-examined. Corrections
and improvements are being incorporated into available GA algorithms. Numerical techniques using radiosity
and diffusion theory have also emerged to cope with challenges in prediction of acoustics in coupled-room
systems. For validation, physical scale-modelling techniques have become particularly relevant research
tools. Despite all of these rapid developments, scientifically grounded analysis methods are still needed for
objective and subjective evaluations of sound fields in coupled-room systems, whether in terms of numerical
modelling, physical scale modelling, or real-hall measurements. After a brief review of modelling techniques,
results are presented of Bayesian decay analysis in characterization of sound-energy decays obtained from
numerical modelling and experimental measurements.
