Basic Requirement For The Acoustically Good Halls
Before 1900, the architects and building engineers had no consideration about the
acoustical properties of rooms and halls etc.
This is a branch of the science which deals with the planning of a building or a hall with
a view to provide best audible sound to the audience is called acoustics of building or
Architectural acoustics.
W.C. Sabine, Professor of Physics, Harvard University, in 1911, first of all scientifically
tackled the problem of satisfactory speech and music in a hall and laid down the
following essential features about the good acoustics.
