Question

Q3.What is reverberation? How can it be reduced? Why is it desirable to reduce reverberation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The repeated multiple reflections of sound in any big enclosed space is known as reverberation. The reverberation can be reduced by covering the ceiling and walls of the enclosed space with sound absorbing materials, such as fiber board, loose woolens, acoustic tiles , thick curtains etc.

Explanation:

In concerts halls, some reverberation is desirable. Otherwise, the sound seems to be dead and brittle. For a work room or a factory, it should be avoided as the deadening of sound causes less nervous strain and increases the efficiency of the workers

Answer 2

Answer:

Reverberation is the collection of reflected sounds from the surfaces in an enclosure like an auditorium. It is a desirable property of auditoriums to the extent that it helps to overcome the inverse square law drop off of sound intensity in the enclosure.

The reverberation can be reduced by covering the ceiling and walls of the enclosed space with sound absorbing materials, such as fiber board, loose woolens, acoustic tiles , thick curtains etc.
