Acoustic Waves Course
Gain mastery over acoustic waves in office settings by linking airborne sound propagation, speech acoustics, room reverberation, and barrier effects to accurately predict sound pressure levels, RT60 times, and speech clarity. Learn to design practical layouts and select materials that significantly lower noise levels and boost communication effectiveness in workplaces.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical methods to forecast, evaluate, and enhance sound quality in open-plan office environments. Explore essential acoustic principles, sound transmission, and frequency variations, then utilise basic geometric and energy models, RT60 calculations, and one-third-octave band analysis for actual spaces. Conclude with effective design approaches for sound barriers, absorbers, room arrangements, and diffusers ready for immediate application.
