What is acoustics and how are acoustical materials used?

What will be an ideal response?


Acoustics is the science of sound, including the generation, transmission, and effects of sound waves. Acoustical materials are used to reduce the levels of sound within an area, such as a room, by absorption and to control sound transmission between adjacent areas caused by sound vibrations in a building structure.
