Errors arise in the measurement of sound absorption coefficient using impedance tube due to various factors. Minimizing the errors require additional hardware or proper calibration of certain components. This paper proposes a new intelligent error correction mechanism using mathematical modelling and soft computing paradigms. A low cost impedance tube is designed, developed and its performance is compared with a commercially available standard tube. A particle swarm optimization and neural network based system is developed to reduce the random and systematic errors in the developed impedance tube. The proposed system is tested using various porous and non-porous functional textile materials and the results are validated. A significant reduction in error is obtained at all frequency ranges with PSO based prediction method.
