David,

Thank you for the followup. I have a couple questions.

I thought about doing what you say.....measuring the relative efficiency of materials for blocking sound transmission rather than absorption. In the design you describe, are you saying that all 6 sides of the enclosure would have be switched out every time or using a "soundproof" box that only uses one changeable side. Wouldn't sound leak out and give bad data if only doing one side? Another variation on what you describe may be to build a two-compartment enclosure, thereby isolating the 2 meters from each other better.

And yes, I was going to construct one transparent side or at least have a small window to see the inside meter.

It might just be easier to measure absorbtion in this case, but what you describe is more practical to understand for the average person.

Regards,
Jim D.
