Understanding Sound Paths 

Sound propagates from its source as a pressure wave, which then interacts with the structures around it through vibration. In the world of noise control, if the sound cannot be reduced directly at the source, the waves will continue on their journey in direct or reverberant paths. Understanding these sound paths is critical for reducing unwanted sound.

What is Reverberation? Hear For Yourself!

Think of how a musician sounds while performing at a huge stadium.

Or imagine the cacophony of traffic exiting a parking garage after a local football team’s game.

Both of those are excellent examples of reverberant sound. You aren’t just hearing the sound from the source; you’re also hearing it bounce off hard, reflective surfaces.
