|
Term used to describe the science of sound as well as how sound travels through particular environments. Sound waves reflect and disperse off of various surfaces in our environment, such as a wall or trees or even people. These sound waves travel through the air, bouncing off objects before they reflect back to our ears. We rarely ever hear the pure direct vibrations of a sound wave before it is masked or altered by the coloration of thousands of small reflections. |
