# MIT Environmental Impulse Response Dataset

The audio recordings in this dataset are originally created by the Computational Audition Lab at MIT. The source of the data can be found at: [https://mcdermottlab.mit.edu/Reverb/IR_Survey.html](https://mcdermottlab.mit.edu/Reverb/IR_Survey.html).

This mirror provides the 16 kHz WAV files used for wake-word training augmentation in the Tater Totterson trainer projects. The files were resampled to 16 kHz to keep the dataset small and convenient for machine-learning audio pipelines.
