Assignment 7
Size
The floor area & volume room should be kept at minimum thereby shortening
the distance the quick and
reflected sound has to travel .
The size should be fixed in relation to the number of audience required to be
seated.
The floor area of the hall including, gangways ( excluding the stage) should be
calculated on the basis of 0.6 to 0.9 sqm per person.
Shape
The rectangular shape box type hall with the stage across the narrow end may be
excellent for a music where an audience
can be seated further away
greater ratio of reverberant sound is disable .
But this type of slope is suitable only for a small speech hall .
A side-wall splay may range from 30° to 60°maximum, provides the directionality
of speech.
Balconies
Balconies break up troubles one rear wall& displace rear row & close to sound
source .
Shapes overhangs may create a sound shadow they are called too dup when
angle of view is greater than 45 degree.
Importance of room shape and volume for the proper supply of sound
energy.
RECORDING STUDIO :
- A recording studio is an assemblage of equipment, spaces and persons such that
a performance in sound may be created and recorded onto a medium for later
reproduction.
- The recording studio was 100% sound insulated. the silver panel used at the
back was to reflect the sound acting as a reflector.
- Acoustical treatment such as wooden planks and sound insulating cushions
where applied on the wall and columns.
- Glass is used as a partition record room and singers room.
• Recording studio is a facility for sound recording and mixing. Ideally both the
recording and monitoring spaces are specially designed by an acoustician to
achieve optimum acoustic properties.

• Design features-
Floor
-Timber flooring used in the rest of the office where sound absorbption is not a
criteria.
-Carpeting used in the main recording room and the lobby. Recording room
requires a sound absorptive material so that the noise is avoided and the lobby
requires it so that the noise from the noisy zone is absorbed as far as possible.
Walls
- The most effective soundproofing must be designed into a house when it is first
built.
- A typical residential wall is made of a frame of 2x4 wood studs covered with 5/8"
thick gypsum board. Doubling the thickness of gypsum gives another 3 to 6 dB of
overall isolation, but its most important effect is lowering the resonant frequency,
hopefully below the audio range.
- There are two common strategies for reducing coupling between the two sides
of the wall. One is to make the gypsum to stud connection springy, either by using
metal studs or by hanging the gypsum board on resilient metal bars.
- The most effective trick is to use separate studs for each face of the wall so there
is no direct connection.
- This eats up a lot of space, but can give a transmission loss of over 60 dB. This
is actually better performance than simple cinder block or poured concrete
construction.
Insulation
- Showing cellulose in the walls and fiberglass in the floor.
- ALL the joints where studs meet the outside wall.
- This makes the wall airtight, and increases the sound proofing.
- Key idea to consider: fill the walls with cellulose insulation .
- The result is much more sound blocking.
