Room impulse response

A Room Impulse Response (RIR) describes how sound behaves in a specific space. It captures how a sound, like a click or voice, travels through the room—reflecting off walls, furniture, and other surfaces—and reaches the listener over time. Essentially, it’s a detailed profile of all the echoes, reverberations, and delays that shape how sound is experienced in that environment. RIR helps in accurately simulating or analyzing how sound behaves in different rooms, which is useful in acoustics, audio engineering, and designing spaces for optimal sound quality.
