Importance of School and Classroom Acoustics?Much of what is learned in school happens through hearing and listening. If the noise levels are not designed properly for classrooms students can be prohibited from optimal learning. For example, high levels of background noise generated by HVAC equipment, poor room acoustics, or intrusion of noise from outside the classroom can affect academic performance. Careful consideration must be given to reverberation times, particularly in the primary grades where the young student's ears are not fully developed. They also do not possess yet, the ability to 'interpret' what is being said if they don't hear all the words. Children with normal hearing can miss as much as a third of what teachers say. This is why good acoustical design of the classrooms is imperative. We conduct background noise and reverberation time measurements in rooms to assess the problem and recommend solutions. Those who continually miss key words, phrases, and concepts because of poor listening conditions are significantly disadvantaged.

Some have seats located in spots where it is almost impossible to understand what is being sung or spoken. It is sad to think of all the hundreds of hours that go into rehearsal time by the lecturer or performers so that they can give a flawless delivery and yet they happen to be performing in a space with inferior acoustics. All their diligence may be wasted. This doesn't even take into account the listener, who possibly bought a ticket to an event only to be disappointed because they couldn't hear clearly what they wanted to hear. Their experience is diminished. Criteria for Good Acoustics
The goal of a good acoustical consultant is to learn from their client what the uses of their client's space will be and to design that space so that regardless of where one is sitting, they can hear clearly, whether it is a choir performance, a play, a lecture, a concert or a multimedia event.
