sound absorption properties of a material identical to NRC, except that twelve one-third octave measurements from 200 Hz to 2500 Hz are used, inclusive, instead of just four in a smaller range and rounding is to the nearest multiple of 0.01 instead of 0.05 due to improved repeatability from averaging more points. Given that the SAA averages more points over a slightly larger range, the SAA can be a better indicator of low frequency sound absorption performance. References Acoustics
