Acoustics

Acoustics is the science that studies sound, in particular its production, transmission, and effects. Sound can often be considered as something pleasant; an example of this would be music. In which case a main application of acoustics would be room acoustics, since the purpose of room acoustics design and optimisation is to make a room sound as good as possible. But some noises can also be unpleasant andntals of Acoustics]]
