Mic testing 1 2 3!

Hope you are all good and healthy! After a long time, I am entering the scene (in the blog writing) again with some sort of information and an important concept to promote. Nowadays if you see, the hot topic is health right (of course COVID make us realize), so will start from that. In early days, when we go to the doctor for any abnormal health issues, we need to explain to them in the air what happened these and that, these were complex to assess the condition of the person, as they don’t have quantitative input about the condition of a person. Fortunately, nowadays technology has improved a lot in assessing the condition instantly by testing the person, of course, you can notice in COVID scenario as well. Now come to our topic, Acoustics - a science which describes the sound, has got huge attention in the industry and domestic scenario nowadays. Acoustics ruling most places like cinema halls(theatres), auditorium, concert halls, recording studio which we don’t generally notice much and in which there is a concept called architectural acoustics (or building acoustics or room acoustics) nothing but how the sound behaves inside the particular area or space, this only going to decide whether the sound you are going to hear will entertain you or harass you. So, to make the sound pleasant to be heard in the above-mentioned spaces, acoustical treatment is done on the space or room with the sound-absorbing or diffusing panels (these you might have seen in theatres with some wood and other absorbing materials panelling work on the walls, ceiling and floor).

In doctor and patient case, the doctor provides the treatment accordingly based on the condition of the patient. In unforeseen situation (without having the proper assessment record of the patient), if the doctor provides under treatment (not adequate) or over treatment (providing overdosage), both will affect the condition of the patient critically. As like the same analogy, when it comes to room treatment in theatres or concert halls and other related things, the condition of the room should be assessed before providing the treatment, then only the room can be given proper treatment to make the sound be happier for you. To this end, acoustics testing of a room helps a lot in the above said which also helps in keeping the speakers at an optimal position in case of theatres. Acoustics testing of the room is nothing but sending the short pulse of sound and measure the behaviour of the sound with the measurement microphone at different positions in the room to find the how the sound behaves, for ex, in theatre at each location we can keep the microphone and ensure that all the places are good in enjoying the movie sound effects. This also helps in finding the best position to keep the speakers.

What if treatment is done without acoustics testing?

As like the same doctor-patient case, without assessing the condition of the room, if we provide under treatment, it will affect the sound effect critically in the room and in over-treatment, it will also affect the sound, together it will increase the cost intake for the treatment. The optimal treatment for both doctor-patient case and the room acoustics needed can be provided with the help of testing the person in doctor-patient case and testing the room in room acoustics case before being given treatment.

And industries also benefitted a lot with the above acoustics testing. So, I will pause here and I will give you detailed benefits of acoustics testing in the upcoming articles.

With this, I am very happy to introduce that at Aatrral Acoustics we provide an exclusive acoustics testing with professional equipment for industries, commercial cinema halls, concert halls, recording studio and home theatres etc., Kindly ping us(+91 8667216725 or info@aatrralacoustics.in) for more details.

Experiment with Lullaby

Sounds are an integral part of the human being right from the communication to entertainment and sometimes even as therapy. I hope everyone in their childhood life has experienced lullaby. That may be the first-ever music or song listen by every human being even before understanding verbal. When I had a discussion with our team about this, we came up with some queries such as i. Does it make any effect when we move the cradle while the mother sings? ii. How the song or music makes a child getting relaxed or happy without understanding verbal? iii. How the child interprets that lullabies? To get the answers and understand the answers for the above, we need to know something about the generation of different moods in human being. Each mood will be created depending on the brain wave signals and the generation of hormones in the brain. Before the child understands the verbal, it starts to feel the music using the brain. When the sound reaches the brain at a particular frequ...

Noise experience in Indore to Bangalore VOLVO Multiaxle Bus

Two weeks ago, I went to Rajasthan for official work. When I return back from Rajasthan, I didn't get the train ticket. So, I decided to travel by bus. The plan is that I have to take a bus from Kota to Indore , Indore to Bangalore and Bangalore to Chennai . Kota to Indore - 320 Kms Indore to Bangalore - 1500 kms Bangalore to Chennai - 350 kms From Kota to Indore, I took a normal AC private bus and from Indore to Bangalore, there is only one bus available which is a VOLVO Multiaxle Sleeper bus. I never traveled in VOLVO buses before that. So, I was in a hurry to travel by that bus. It was around 25 hours journey. The bus started at 2.00 PM from Indore. I noticed that noise coming inside the bus. Before that I thought, VOLVO buses won't give the noise inside the bus. I took my tool that is the measurement microphone which I always kept inside my bag Since I am an acoustics engineer. I took the reading of the spectrum of noise coming inside the bus. I noticed t...
