Acoustics is the science of sound

Acoustic well-being in spaces is primarily determined by:

Sound absorption

Sound absorption describes how sound behaves inside a room.

Sound insulation

Sound insulation describes the degree to which sound is transmitted to another room.

Room acoustics

Room acoustics describes how sound behaves in an enclosed space. It deals with the sound propagation inside a room: sound absorption, reflection and diffusion on all surfaces and objects in the room.

Building acoustics

Building acoustics deals with the sound propagation through a building element i.e. partition wall, separating floor construction, facade, window, etc.
