Not the kind with guitars and junk, i mean the one that has to do with how well sound travels in a room and stuff, and how well a room echoes.

Can someone give me the defination of that type of acoustics?



Answer
Acoustics is the science of sound. Or, more technical terms "... the generation, transmission and reception of energy in the form of vibrational waves in matter." * A huge number of scientific problems and disciplines fit into this definition.Acoustics is by its very nature an inter-disciplinary field, drawing people from a widely differing backgrounds. A person who works as an 'acoustician' might be a physicist studying acoustic wave propagation, a mechanical engineer trying to control noise and vibration, an electrical engineer designing a new electroacoustic transducer, a civil engineer designing the acoustic properties of a building, an experimental psychologists studying psychoacoustics, a physician doing research in audiology, a computer programmer designing the sound effects for the newest computer game, just to list a few possibilities.
