Acoustics

Understanding Basic Acoustics

Managing Acoustics within a room can be addressed in a multitude of ways. The solution often lies with the problematic frequency rather than a ‘one size fits all’ solution

• A – Absorbing sound can be done in a variety of ways, most solutions address the speech frequencies which is usually the reason you are searching for an acoustic solution
• B – Blocking is usually considered with the use of screens, furniture or walls that cut off direct path of sound
• C – Covering Sound is a technology solution also referred to as sound masking or white noise. The background sound is raised to make speech in large space unintelligible
• D –According to inverse-square law, the sound energy drops by 6 DB every time you double the distance from the source
• E – Etiquette needs to be observed at all times, the productivity loss from constant distraction costs organizations millions every year.
