Definition of Acoustics Related Terms Flashcards
is the study of how sounds are created, transmitted and received; the branch of physics that deals with the production, control, transmission, reception and effects of sound waves
Acoustics
A detailed study of the use of a building, the location and orientation of its spaces, possible sources of noise and the desirable acoustical environment in each usable area
Acoustical Analysis
The planning, shaping, finishing and furnishing of an enclosed space to establish the acoustical environment necessary for distinct hearing
Acoustical Design
The application of absorbent or reflecting materials to the wall, ceilings and floor of an enclosed space to alter or improve its acoustical properties
Acoustical Treatment
The qualities or characteristics of a room, auditorium or
concert hall that determine the audibility of speech or fidelity of musical sounds in it
Room Acoustics
A branch of acoustics that deals with providing rooms and buildings with good conditions for listening to speech and music, it plays an important role in the planning and construction of auditoriums, churches, halls, libraries and music halls.
Architectural Acoustics
