A clarification. Absorption coefficients are valid for the environment they are tested in. As that environment changes, so do the absorption coefficients.

This is one of areas of acoustics where a seemingly simple question has a very complex answer, if the answer is completely correct.

I am not trying to put words in your mouth Ethan. I am trying to avoid the start of a huge misunderstanding due to a sincere simplification.
