6. The reason for good acoustics of ancient Greek theater of Epidaurus.
a. Decoupling c. Limestone Seats
b. Massing d. Damping
7. Designed to prevent sound from entering or leaving a space by blocking sound transmission with
dense, heavy materials, making it ideal for environments where sound leakage is a concern.
a. Soundproofing c. Sound Diffusion
b. Sound Absorption d. Sound Transmission
8. Soundproofing approach that separates two parts of a wall for the purpose of inhibiting vibration
transmission and blocking loud noises from travelling across the wall.
a. Decoupling c. Sealing Gaps
b. Massing d. Absorption
9. It is a soundproofing approach which reduces the sound vibration in the air cavity.
a. Decoupling c. Sealing Gaps
b. Massing d. Absorption
10. This soundproofing approach implies that you need more mass to your walls and make them
heavy enough not to vibrate.
a. Decoupling c. Sealing Gaps
b. Massing d. Absorption
11. This removes vibration energy from a structure or system by eliminating the dynamic stresses
associated with vibration.
a. Damping c. Sealing Gaps
b. Massing d. Absorption
12. This is used to fill in gaps and cracks that could allow noise to enter or escape form a room.
a. Decoupling c. Sealing Gaps
b. Massing d. Absorption
13. A way to make better sounding inside a room by controlling sound reflections.
a. Acoustic Treatment c. Soundproofing
b. Acoustics d. Painting
14. This is a popular method of acoustic treatment that includes acoustic foam sheets, absorption
panels, bass traps, sound blankets, and insulation.
a. Sound Absorption c. Soundproofing
b. Acoustics d. Sound diffusion
15. The following are important characteristics of sound absorption, EXCEPT:
a. Does not block noise c. Reduces echoes and reverberation
b. Improves sound quality d. None of the above
16. ___________ disperses sound and helps our ears hear the mix come back from different parts of
the room.
a. Diffusion c. Absorption
b. Soundproofing d. Reflection
17. These are sounds that arrive to our ears first from direct source.
a. Early Reflection c. Normal Reflection
b. Late Reflection d. Just Reflection
18. Are sounds that spend more time bouncing around the room before we hear them.
a. Early Reflection c. Normal Reflection
b. Late Reflection d. Just Reflection
