acoustic mapping

Acoustic mapping is a technique used to create visual representations of sound within an environment. It captures how sound waves travel and interact with objects, helping to identify areas where sound is amplified, absorbed, or reflected. This process can be applied in various fields, including architecture for optimizing spaces, urban planning to manage noise pollution, and environmental studies to monitor wildlife sounds. By analyzing sound patterns, researchers and designers can better understand acoustic environments and improve sound quality or reduce unwanted noise in specific areas.
