Acoustic characteristics
Acoustic absorption refers to the process by which a material, structure and
object takes in sound energy when sound waves are met. The absorbed energy
is transformed into heat and part travels through the body. A standing wave is
the vibration state of a stable system. Standing waves are soundwaves that are
trapped between two walls but collide with the same frequency. For example, if
you sing in a room, and a note you sing sounds different, this is because that
notes frequency is colliding with the same frequency that is "standing".
Acoustic Treatments
The Absorption Coefficient is the time it takes until the sounds decibels reach
minus. you do this by having either solid walls where the sound can't pass all the
way through, or a wall where there are two layers of fabric, so the sound cannot
go through both layers.
The way you make a recording studio sound proof is by having a layer of fabric
on the wall, then having a frame, then another layer of fabric, this means that
there are two layers of Fabric, this means that the first layer captures the sound,
and then the second layer traps the sound.
To get the best sound out of the speakers is by angling them correctly, the best
way for you to angle speakers is by facing them towards you, you want the
speakers to be facing directly at you, this is so all of the sound coming out of the
speakers is moving towards your ears, this makes it easier for your ears to also
take in the sound.
