Acoustic Coefficient

Acoustic Coefficient is a measure of a material’s ability to transmit sound. It is typically expressed as a ratio of sound transmission loss (STL) to the incident sound pressure level (SPL). The coefficient can be used to compare the sound insulation properties of different materials or constructions. When sound waves hit a surface, some of […]

Haas Effect

Haas effect is a bin-aural psycho acoustic effect regarding the sound source localization. It is known as the “precedence effect” or the “law of the first wavefront” and it was define and described by Helmut Haas in his Ph.D. Thesis in 1949. Shortly put, our hearing mechanism determine the position of a sound source based […]

Sound is a type of energy that travels in the form of waves through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure waves that move through the medium, which are perceived by our ears as sound. Sound can have different properties, such as frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, which determine its pitch, loudness, and timbre.

Sound

Sound is a type of energy that travels through the air as a pressure wave and can be heard when it reaches the ear. It is caused by vibrations, such as those produced by musical instruments, the human voice, or machinery.
