Absorption coefficient of different materials used for internal and external construction of the building. Volume: Volume:-too big halls create a weaker intensity. Small halls leads to irregular distribution of sound. Absence of absorbents:-if proper absorbents are not used then it affects the acoustics of the building.

2 Volume::-too big halls create a weaker intensity. Small halls leads to
Volume irregular distribution of sound. 2 Improper site: site:-If the auditorium is situated near a noisy place. 2 Reverberation Reverberation::-If the reverberation time is too short or too long then it affects the acoustics of the building. 2 Echelon effect: effect:-Staircase may produce a musical sound due to regular succession of echoes of original sound. 2 Shape:-Halls with parallel walls generates echoes. Shape: 2 Absence of absorbents: absorbents:-If proper absorbents are not used then it affects the acoustics of the building. Q4.Give the remedies for each factor mentioned in previous question. 2 Volume:-Size of the hall should be such that it remains optimum. Volume: 2 Improper Site: Site:-Avoid noisy places for construction of auditorium. 2 Reverberation::-It must be maintained in such a away that it Reverberation does not remain too short or too large i.e. nearly 0.5 sec for lecture hall, 1.2 for concert hall & around 2 for cinema hall. 2 Echelon effect: effect:-IN this type of situation one should either avoid the use of railings or staircase, or keep them covered with thick carpet. 2 Shape::-As the reflection are created by roof and walls, they Shape should be designed in such a way that echoes are not generated. Curved surface should be designed with care as it concentrates the sound in particular region and absence of sound in other regions. 2 Absence of absorbents: absorbents:-As reflections from rear wall are of no use, it must be covered with absorbents. False ceiling can be used. Q5. State at least 4 difference between musical sound and noise.
