Acoustics



‍Speed ​​is the ability of the individual to travel a distance or movement in the shortest time possible. The speed can be defined as the ability, on the basis of the action of the nervous system, muscles, and the speed to perform the movement.
 * Speed **

‍ ** Frequency ** ‍Frequency is a quantity that measures the number of repetitions per unit time of any phenomenon or occurrence newspaper.

‍The wavelength of a wave describes how long the wave. The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is what is called wavelength.
 * ‍Wavelength **

‍In graphical representation, section taken longitudinally cutting the object by its longest axis.
 * Longitudinal **

‍The concept section, or mainstreaming, has an origin in the geometry, as it crosses in the opposite direction to the longitudinal (that would be what goes along); but it is applied metaphorically to any other ámbito.De Thus, the transversality usually understood as the presence of various disciplines in the study or treatment of the same object or phenomenon.
 * ‍Transverse **





Speed = distance travelled in unit time (m/s)

Frequency = number of complete cycles in one second (Hz)

Wavelength = distance between matching points on the wave (m)

Longitudinal = vibration parallel to direction of travel of wave

Transverse = vibration at right angle to direction of travel of wave

The sound is created through vibrations that produce a body or object. Now how sound is produced, depends entirely on the size of element. Larger objects may cause high waves with a wavelength larger. But objects that are smaller produce low waves with a wavelength more small. Sound by its nature is composed of two different ways. These are:


 * Impulsive Sound: ** is a type of sound that has a duration or short period of time. He includes those frequencies over a portion of the sound spectrum.


 * Sonic Boom: ** is defined as a blast of sound that causes large amounts of energy. An example is the crash of a supersonic bullet.


 * Reverberance: ** Having the character of a loud deep sound; the quality of being resonant (plangency, resonance, ringing, sonorousness, sonority, vibrancy)


 * Room Acoustics: ** Room acoustics are about the way in which sound behaves in a room. Sound transmission, sound absorption, sound reflection and sound diffusion are all aspects that are important here. Room acoustics also include how we as humans perceive different acoustic phenomena.


 * Room Acoustic Comfort – a natural part of the indoor environment: ** A room and its acoustic quality should be a support for people and the activities in which they are involved. To create the correct acoustic conditions is to create Room Acoustic Comfort. Room acoustic comfort is an important element of the sound environment concept and this, along with light, air and perception of the room, is in turn a natural component of the total indoor environment.


 * What must you as an architect do to achieve Room Acoustic Comfort? **

As an architect I think it is important to take into account the level of sound within a space. Acoustic comfort is an important advantage for achieving a warm and comfortable stay in one place. For this reason I consider of vital importance to establish a pattern of acoustic design. This pattern will be established by the following attributes: reverberance, clarity, strength and the spatial hearing. It is important to mention that there are some descriptors that define the acoustic profile of some places or spaces within a building.
