Question

Which is a way that acoustic engineers attempt to limit the destructive interference of reflected sound waves in an auditorium?

designing a space with a lower ceiling

designing a space with sound-absorbing tiles

designing a smaller space

designing a larger space

Answer 1

Correct answer is B. Designing a space with sound-absorbing tiles.

In order to limit the destructive interference of reflected sound waves in an auditorium, the acoustic engineers needs to provide sound-absorbing tiles in that area. Due to reflection of sound waves, destructive interference is created in the hall of auditorium. Sound-absorbing tiles have ability to absorb those waves and provide good sound ecosystem to the auditorium room.
