Acoustics_Vocabulary

Acoustics Vocabulary:

Reverberance: is linked to the speed at which sound energy disappears in a room. An unfurnished room with hard surfaces, such as a church, is perceived as being more reverberant than a well-furnished living room.

Speech clarity: the quality of speech transfer to the listeners. In a reverberant room with disturbing background noise, it can be difficult to pick up speech.

Auditory strength: is the level at which we experience sound. A reverberant room gives a higher sound level than a room with added sound absorption. Room acoustics: are about the way in which sound behaves in a room. Room acoustics also include how we as humans perceive different acoustic phenomena
