    The document defines several key audio and acoustic terms including audio, sound, acoustic, electroacoustic, and room acoustics. It describes sound as vibrations in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz that can be detected by human hearing. Acoustics is defined as the scientific study of sound and sound waves or the characteristics of a room that determine how clearly sound can be heard. Electroacoustics deals with converting sound to electricity and back, as with microphones and speakers. Room acoustics describes how sound behaves in an enclosed space and involves reverberation time, sound absorption materials, and measurement.

    of, pertaining to, or employed in the transmission, reception,or reproduction of sou nd. 3. of or pertaining to frequencies or signals in the audiblerange.

    Sound - a. Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the
    approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing. b. Transmitted vibrations of any frequency. c. The sensation stimulated in the organs of hearing by such vibrations in the air or other medium.

    Acoustic - 1. (Physics / General Physics) (functioning as singular) the scientific study of sound and sound
    waves 2. (Physics / General Physics) (functioning as plural) the characteristics of a room, auditorium, etc., that determine the fidelity with which sound can be heard within it

    Electroacoustic - a branch of acoustics that deals with the conversion of sound into

    electricity and vice versa, as in a microphone or a speaker

    Room acoustics describes how sound behaves in an enclosed space.
