Acoustics

The word “acoustics” refers to the branch of science that studies sound. Sound can be useful (for example speech, music, many sounds of nature, sound art) or harmful (noise, disturbing sounds). An expert in acoustics is called an acoustician.

Acoustic design is an essential part of building and infrastructure design. Acoustic services are also often needed in studies and evaluations, product development of structures and devices, as well as in design of audio laboratories.

The acoustics of performance spaces is a scientific-artistic entity that requires special expertise, where physics is combined with the psychology of perception and the aesthetics of sound.
