ABSTRACT
The preceding chapters were devoted exclusively to the physical side of room acoustics, i.e. the objectively measurable properties of sound fields in a room and to the circumstances which are responsible for their origin. We could be satisfied with this aspect if the only problems at stake were those of noise abatement by reverberation reduction and hence by reduction of the energy density, or if we only had to deal with problems of measuring techniques, which will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 8.
