Acoustic design

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acoustic design is a term that originally comes from the automotive industry, but is also used in architecture for the design of rooms ( soundscape ) or for the packaging of food. It is assumed that the sound of an engine and the noises that are made when a car door or a beverage container is opened play a role in the purchase decision and should be carefully designed.

In contrast to audio designers, acoustic designers do not necessarily create recordings but the sound of objects or rooms. The use of sound recordings can be part of this. Acoustic designers take over the team of product developers , the acoustic design of the product. In doing so, they concentrate on the corresponding properties of the materials used, the cavities, the volumes, the surfaces and the surface properties. Since acoustic design has only recently become particularly important, the professional field is relatively new. This aspect was previously covered by other team members in product development.

In general, sound studies deal with the research and use of sounds . There are specialized courses of study at the Berlin University of the Arts .
