In this article we will study sound—specifically, how sound allows us to communicate in a classroom and can improve that communication. You learn is measured people called acoustics engineers help architects designers make sure classrooms are not too noisy—or quiet. We even have some experiments you do measure sounds at home, school, or football stadium.

The study of sound in the built environment is finding more awareness in the 21 century. As this awareness has increased, and as computing power has grown, the method of computer modeling for studying room acoustics in such settings as classrooms, offices, and performances spaces has taken great strides in recent years. Of particular interest has been the study of the coupled volume space due t...
