 ACOUSTICS   Definitions

Speed  Frequency
 * How fast something moves.
 * The number of times something happens within a particular period, or the fact of something happening often or a large number or times.

Wavelength 
 * The distance between two waves of energy, or the length of the radio wave used by a particular radio station for broadcasting programmes.

Longitudinal 
 * The distance of a place east or west of an imaginary line from the top to the bottom of the Earth, measured in degrees.

Transverse 
 * In a position or direction that is at an angle of 90° to something else.

The sound is not only produced by music instruments in fact we can say that the sound they produced is not something musical but the combination of diferent sounds creates a melody. The sound is produced by the vibration of the objects, at the same time this vibration create waves in the air and this wave make some distorsion that causes the sounds. the molecules of the air move back and foward with this vibration and the number of moves they make is a second is waht we call the frecuency of the wave. the size of the wave is call amplitud and the long is the amplitud the louder is the sound.  The question of a place is too noisy? is kind of subjetive because every person has his own opinion about that, some prefer music but not too loud and aother ones prefers the sound of people talking but not so much that you cant eve hear waht your partner is saying when you are at the same table. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;">

Also the architect need to know the function of the space he is building because if its an opera teather you want to have a great acoustics to the perfomance stage but also to keep the sound inside the space, but if you´re making office you have to take into account that the conversation between office must not disturbe the other ones. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;"> Architects have to consider the acoustic as you think and design the project because, depending on how the sounds are perceived by people, the harmony of space, and the relationship between people and space will be different. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: left;">
