Acoustics has become a broad interdisciplinary field encompassing the academic disciplines of physics, engineering, psychology, speech, audiology, music, architecture, physiology, neuroscience, and others. Among the branches of ______ are architectural ______, physical ______, musical , psycho, electro-acoustic, Noise control, shock and vibration, underwater ______, speech, physiological ______, etc. Acoustics: branch of Science that deals with the study of Sound Architectural Acoustics: The application of knowledge of ______ in architecture encompass the study and application of the principle of sound in architectural spaces. Common Topics of Concern in Architectural Acoustics Generally, the common topics of concern in architectural ______ are The exclusion of external noise The reduction of sound passing between rooms The quality of sound inside rooms These all are analyzed in connection of Sound source, path and receiver. Providing the occupants with privacy and with a quiet environment, by dealing with noise sources within the building as well as noise transmitted from outside becomes a vital concern. Causes For Acoustic Problems Urbanization and Technology: Urban way of life (people and machineries) Land value and dense living Motorized transportation Mixed use function (building, Neighborhood) Planning paradigm Acoustical requirements should always be considered during the earliest stages of design.

Study Notes

Sound and Wave Motion

  • Sound is a form of mechanical wave motion.
  • Light and heat are forms of electromagnetic wave motion.

Acoustics Overview

  • Acoustics is the study of sound, covering its production, propagation, and interaction with the environment.
  • It is a broad interdisciplinary field, linking physics, engineering, psychology, music, architecture, and neuroscience.

Architectural Science IV

  • Focuses on sound principles: production, frequency, loudness, reflection, absorption, transmission, and diffraction.
  • Examines changes in sound level and includes noise reduction calculations.
  • Addresses environmental factors and human comfort in architectural design.

Noise Control in Buildings

  • Noise classification includes various sources, measurements, and sensitive functions.
  • Discusses planning for noise control at various levels: planning, building, and element levels.
  • Emphasizes acceptable noise levels and acoustical treatments during construction.

Basic Theory of Sound

  • Covers sound production, wave characteristics, wavelength, frequency, velocity, and sound speed in different media.
  • Addresses reflection, absorption, transmission, and sound transmission types (airborne, impact, flanking).
  • Explains masking effects, resonance, diffraction, and sound shadows, including measurement techniques for sound energy.

Architectural Acoustics

  • Encompasses the implementation of sound principles in architectural designs.
  • Common concerns include exclusion of external noise, sound reduction between rooms, and sound quality within spaces.
  • Strategies focus on analyzing sound sources, paths, and receivers to provide privacy and quiet environments for occupants.

Causes of Acoustic Problems

  • Urbanization and technology contribute to noise issues due to high-density living and motorized transport.
  • Mixed-use functions in buildings and neighborhoods intensify noise concerns.
  • Acoustical needs should be integral during the early design stages to prevent future problems.
