Acoustic interference

Acoustic interference occurs when two or more sound waves overlap and interact with each other. This can create areas of increased sound (constructive interference) or decreased sound (destructive interference). For example, when two speakers play the same note at the same time, they might amplify the sound in some spots while creating quiet zones in others. This phenomenon is important in various fields, such as music, architecture, and audio engineering, as it affects how we perceive sound in different environments and can be harnessed or mitigated for better audio quality.
