description Wood charcoal is a sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly material with the use that the acoustic device can produce. Charcoal made of wood waste materials allows for improving indoor acoustical quality. Therefore, this objective of the article is to investigate the sound scattering coefficients of QRD with the perforation ratio of oak wood charcoal elements. Sound scattering coefficient calculated with the measurement of the reverberation time in the reverberation chamber. The calculation results of the scattering coefficient show the growth of scattering in the frequencies - the highest value reached 0.88 (diffuser N7 with charcoal). The effectiveness of diffusers to diffuse sound waves increases as the number of wells grows. The diffuser with 80 % charcoal elements showed a higher scattering coefficient compared to the diffuser without charcoal elements.
