Computer simulates acoustics of auditoriums before they are built

摘要

Too often an auditorium is built at great expense only to prove acoustically unsatisfactory — a situation which science may have made no longer a problem. A method has been devised at Bell Telephone Laboratories whereby the acoustics of a proposed auditorium or concert hall can be listened to and evaluated before the hall is in its final form, or even before its construction has been started.
