Basics Of Acoustics

The prime reason behind noises, and reflections in the room or an enclosed space are the reflective surfaces. These surfaces could be walls, objects placed in the room or any other feature. The noise and sound disturbance may vary from one room to another or from one building to another. Although acoustic treatments will vary for one room to another, these solutions follow the same principles. It is often seen that acoustics are thought about at a much later stage and this is not a good idea. The use and design of acoustic wall panels needs to be discussed right from the start between the architect and the acoustic expert, so as to get the best results.

                                    

One needs to get a detailed analysis on the acoustics of the soundproofing auditorium  and the hall. First of all, focus on the dimensions of the room and look at the space of the room in cubic volume. The length, width and height of the room need to be taken into consideration here to get the desired acoustical result. Now, you need to focus on the walls, floors and ceilings and what materials are they made of. They could be wood, marble, covered with tiles or carpet. Depending on the material, each of these surfaces will carry unique acoustic properties. Acoustical ceiling tiles are made use of to control the acoustics.

 

The seating arrangement also leaves an impact on the acoustics in auditorium or recording studios. The quality of sound is also influenced by the season and the number of occupants in the hall or room. Audience in heavy woolens in winters will make for higher sound absorptions as compared to the summers. The acoustic experts need to take in to consideration these and the other matters. Therefore, planning has to start right from the first stage, when the construction is going on.

 The use of acoustical foam panels or home theater wall panels needs to be decided. The quality of these panels and tiles too will influence the acoustics. Any neglect at the early stage will lead to many issues and complaints later on. Dealing with acoustics at the altar stage will only get complex, more time consuming and will need more efforts. Therefore, focus on the right aspects right from the start. Every room is different and one should not follow the one –size fits all policy. Get non-technical audience as well as professional acoustic experts to study the sound quality in a room.
