Essays on Acoustics

The product is a sound thermostat, namely a system that mitigates the noise, coming from outside (e.g., traffic, construction works, loud conversations). The target market of the product is represented primarily by middle-aged adults, as well as senior citizens. The product will be positioned to the target market as ‘the best solution to cope with a non-stop street noise’, ‘a means to concentrate on work and not get disturbed when working’, as well as ‘the best tool for healthy sleep’. The advantage of the above positioning messages deals with emphasizing an issue (the lack of quiet environment) and offering ...

Music and Architect

When we talk about “Music and Architect’s” the need arises to describe how the architect and the shape of the space have for a long time made considerable impact on music creation and the performance. This establishes a platform that bring out the mutual relationship that exists between music and architecture and in doing so explains that they are dependent on each other. The architectural design is portrayed as being the independent variable whereas the creation of music and the performance is the independent variable. In my opinion this reasoning is biased since although music is to a ...

In this particular paper, we are going to present the key ideas that have been described by Mr. Protik Majumder in his youtube video ‘Musical Acoustics and Sound Perception’. This lecture of his addresses the dynamics of sound synthesis and in short, Mr. Majumder also explains the semantics of our ability to identify and distinguish one sound from the other. He starts off by plucking a string and showing the audience how a sound wave is created. Using this concept, he describes some key concepts including transverse waves, the energy of the wave and he shows the shape of ...

Studio recording design

For the design of the acoustic of the room, there are theories that have been put in place to ensure that the quality of the final sound was superb. The sound acoustic methods that analyze the effects of sound sources that are present in the room can be described is the geometrical, the statistical and the adulatory theories.

The geometrical theory

This theory is used to determine the points of incidences of the rays at the bounding room surface. It is paramount since the theory is also used to determine the losses of energy that is caused by the absorptive materials that ...

Ancient music had very distinct styles, musical instruments and elements were easily distinguishable as the songs progressed. The following is an analysis of five songs in terms of the style, tempo, musical elements and form.

- Analysis of the song “Crazy Blues” by Mamie Smith and her Jazz group (Recorded August 10 1920) (cfa.arizona.edu)

Several musical instruments as were use in the song. The sound of a trombone comes first then that of a clarinet and violin follow in unison. The sounds produced by these instruments produce a very distinct tune. When the Mamie Smith sings, several elements of music can be noted these are timbre, harmony, pitch and rhythm.

The song is in classical jazz style and I could tell ...

Introduction

Most of the people go the cinema really often. They drive theirs cars to the desired movie theatres, maybe stand in the line to get tickets, head to the bar, and then finally find themselves in comfortable seats, waiting to be immersed by another story. Yet, I bet few of them know of numerous detailed and complex patterns which lie behind that immersion – and who exactly executes them. Essentially, these patterns sprout from the director’s vision of the film, production designer’s creative contribution to it, and are supported by the work of the art director. These elements ...

Introduction

The word music originates from the ancient Greek word muses that mean the nine goddesses of art and science. Music was formed long time ago when European musicians composed it for notation of rhythms. Music is an art that makes an organized sound effect through the elements of rhythm, pitch, and dynamics and is an expression of feeling and thought. Every culture past or present follows music. Since music is a part of all times and places in one or the other way, it is probable to be present before the dispersal of humans around the world. For hundreds of ...

Abstract

This psychological research focuses on noise irritation and problems with voice, as well as learning facilities and location towards the lecturer shape a subjective experience of Southampton Solent University students. I wanted to explore the effects of noise and scanty classroom acoustics on lecturers’ state of health and well-being. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of sensed noise exposure and classroom reaction on information insufficiency. According to significant associations researches it leads to low education process satisfaction as well as deficiency of energy after lectures, and interest in leaving the university. Noise subjection is generally also ...

The great restaurants in the world were created with an utmost consideration to the balance of operational concerns, ambiance, technical specifications and thematic ideas. Each of the areas in the restaurant was created with an orchestration of design that promotes the profound customer experience. Furthermore, restaurants tend to create an experience that lasts from the moment the customers entered the façade to the moment they left the place, such experience should linger with the customer and should make them want to dine again soon. In order to create such a place for the customers, designing the restaurant should consider ...

Multi-driver speaker systems require ‘Crossovers’ as their subsystems and are primarily used for the separation of input signal on the basis of driver into various different frequency ranges. The power which is received by the drivers is only in their usable frequency range and therefore the distortion which is caused in the drivers can be reduced with the use of crossovers. Crossovers are only helpful in order to minimize the distortion and it is not possible to completely block at the passband edges, similarly amplitude variation and face changes also cannot be completely restricted. Crossovers are primarily of ...
