Great Room Mode Calculator

Loads of fun, you can actually hear the room modes for your room (as long as your computer speakers can handle it), and also see which sets of modes are causing the most problems in your room :green:

Also included are a 3D view of the modes, Bonello's (room modes per 3rd) and Bolt's area to help in choosing room dimensions.

Give it a try!

Looks very cool.  I'll mess around with it when I return from my travels.

I have a dumb question--while it's pretty easy to find room mode calculators, they identify peaks, so how do I identify and treat nulls?  My big issue is with nulls (suck outs), which are virtually impossible to overcome except with traps to bring down the peaks thus reducing the relative difference.

Another question I have is how to deal with alcoves, etc. in an irregularly shaped room?

Thanks also for posting this. The visualisation of where the room modes are is a very useful tool, and confirms my suspicions about some of my room's problems. I agree that it would be even more useful if alcoves, non-parallel walls, ceiling beams and existing absorption could be incorporated into the calculations, but then it's a free gismo which is already a useful tool. I now need to go back to GIK with a Christmas present (2015) request for a couple of corner traps ( as long as madame will agree)  ;)

You will have to build one so that you can use this free Great Room Mode Calculator! :P
