1680s, "science of sound," from acoustic (also see -ics). Meaning "acoustic properties" of a building, etc., attested from 1885.

The branch of science and technology that is devoted to the production, transmission, control, processing, transformation, reception, and effects of sound, longitudinal waves, particularly as vibration, pressure, or elastic waves and shock phenomena in material media. [After Weik '96]

1. The science behind sound.

the technology associated with noise, including how it is made, how it travels, and it's effects on auditory receptors

The science of sound including its production, transmission and effects; also, the physics behind music, and the science treating the laws of sound

The science of the transmission of sound waves. Generally refers to the characteristics of auditoriums, theatres and studios with respect to their design.

The sounds of floor traffic and dropped objects are important when considering types of flooring materials. The cushioning of impacts reduces the generation of airborne sound within the room and the level of sound that can be transmitted to adjacent areas. It also minimizes the transmission of impact-generated, structure-borne noises throughout the [..]

The science of sound and sound control.

The science of the production, transmission and effects of sound.

1. The science or scientific study of sound. 2. The properties of a room or environment that affect the qualities of sound.

the study and measurement of sound waves

The quality of a space for doing music.

(n) the study of the physical properties of sound

the study of sound and sound waves. Ocean scientists use acoustic technology to determine their position, map the sea floor, and to track marine animals.

The science of sound, including its production, transmission, and effects.

Acoustics is an interdisciplinary branch dealing with sound, its origin and propagation and its perception. It studies mechanical waves in gases and fluid and solid bodies. It finds its use in technical applications, e.g. noise reduction, transfer of frequencies into less favourable ranges (labour protection, ecology), in design of sound systems, i [..]

n. acústica

A science dealing with the production, effects, and transmission of sound waves through various mediums. Includes the effects of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and interference.   Back   Back   Home  |  Contact Us  |  About Us  |  Advertise  |  Car Audio How to Links  |  Join!  |  Log-In

Sound is simply vibrating air. How fast, how much, and when the air is vibrated, determines what we will ultimately hear as sound. The science of this process is called acoustics.

The properties or qualities of a room or building that determine how sound is transmitted in it.

(1) The science or study of the properties of sound and sound propagation. (2) The manner in which sound behaves in an enclosed space, more precisely called room acoustics. See also acoustic theory, a [..]

 (1) the science of sound; (2) the art of optimizing sound in an enclosed space.

How a room sounds based on reverberation and other acoustical qualities.

The science of sound and sound control.

The science of sound; the qualities of sound in an enclosed space

The branch of Physics that deals with Sound and Sound waves. In Medicine it is often applied in procedures in Speech and Hearing studies. With regard to the Environment, it refers to the characteristi [..]

The science of the sound—more specifically, the science of the properties and behavior of sound waves. A good understanding of acoustics is essential to audio engineering and studio design.

<physics> The science of sounds, teaching their nature, phenomena, and laws. "Acoustics, then, or the science of sound, is a very considerable branch of physics." (Sir J. Herschel) The science is, by some writers, divided, into diacoustics, which explains the properties of sounds coming directly from the ear; and catacoustica, which [..]

  1) The scientific study of sound and sound waves.  2) The characteristics of a room that determine the audibility of sound within it.
