"Principles of Acoustics" (by Harvey E. White)

"Principles of Acoustics" by Harvey E. White explores how sound waves behave and interact. It explains how vibrations produce sound, how sound travels through different materials and spaces, and how sound can be measured and controlled. The book covers key concepts like frequency, pitch, loudness, and resonance, providing foundational knowledge for designing spaces with good acoustics. Essentially, it describes the science behind sound and how it can be manipulated for various practical applications, from musical instruments to architectural acoustics, ensuring environments are optimized for hearing clarity and quality.
