11. Which of the following will creates a quieter room using with hanging
curtains
Or with bare concrete walls?
A. Both hanging curtains or bare concrete walls has the tendency to be
peaceful and quite depending on the location
B. It is quieter in a room with concrete walls because sound travels faster in
medium with the higher elastic property at molecular level
