SOUND
Sound behaviour
Consider a sound source situated within a
bounded space. Sound waves will propagate away
from the source until they encounter one of the
room's boundaries where, some of energy will be-
•Absorbed.
•Transmitted.
•The rest reflected back into the room.
This sets up a complex situation
where 3D pressure fluctuations bounce about a
room in much the same way as 2D ripples of
water in a bathtub.
There are two types of sond wave –
1. Direct.
2. Indirect sound waves.
Referred As Boundary.
Therefore This Behavior Of Sound Wave Is Also
Smoother Decay.
Curved Surfaces With A Parabolic Shape Has The
Source.
It is undesirable in theatres, halls, auditoriums,
The Clapping Sound Is Reflected
Back To The Source
DIFFRACTION
It Is The Bending Of Sound Waves Around Small*
Obstacles And Spreading Out Of Waves Beyond
Small Openings.(* Small Compared To The
Wavelength)
It Sheds Acoustical Energy Into Acoustical
Air.
DENSITY VARIATION OF AIR
REFRACTION
Bending of the sound waves when it enters a
medium where their speed is different.
This bending is due to the difference in speed of
medium.
In denser medium, there are more number of
Sound.
1. Increasing The Distance Between The Source
And The Recipient.
2. By Using Noise Barriers To Block Or Absorb
Sound Waves.
3. By Using Damping Structures.
4. By Using Active Anti Noise Sound Generators.
NOISE BARRIER
It Is An External Structure Specially Designed To
Protect Sensitive Land Uses From Noise Pollution.
It Absorbs Sound Instead Of Transmitting It.
It Is Effectively Used For Roadway, Railway,
Lead Or Neoprene
Quite Rock

Dry Wall)
Acoustic Foam

RESONANCE
It Is The Tendency Of A System To Absorb More
Energy When The Frequency Of Its Oscillation
Matches The System’s Natural Frequency Of
Vibration Than It Does At Other Frequencies.
Acoustic Resonance Is Important For Hearing.

It Is So Called Because Sound Can Easily Bounce
