The objectives of this lecture are to help Students to understand the:
a. Importance of acoustics in Architecture.
b. Sound, velocity, frequency, intensity.
c. Reflection, reverberation, absorption, transmission of sound.

Introduction about Sound and Noise:

Fundamental Properties and characteristics of sound. (Frequency, wavelength, velocity, pressure, pressure level, intensity, pitch, tone, loudness, timbre etc.) Made to understand through handling portable speaker by students when music was played at different levels

Noise: Physiological and Psychological impact of noise on human beings. Noise criteria for various spaces viz: Living areas, Educational areas, Offices etc.

Behaviour of Sound

Behaviour of sound in open and enclosed spaces with reference to the form of enclosures, and various surface finishes. Was made to understand & experience students through videos, and listening to sound. Music in different spaces.

Noise Control

Measures to control noise nuisance (Air borne and structure borne) in different spaces. It was explained Through photographs of on-going sites. Live examples.

Selection & Application of Acoustical materials

Acoustical materials along with their properties, behaviour, selection criteria, use, and construction details.
