Sound field

A sound field refers to the way sound waves spread and behave in a particular space. It describes how sound energy interacts with the environment, including how it travels, reflects, and combines. Think of it as the "map" of sound in an area—showing where loud or soft sounds are, how they bounce around, and how they reach your ears. Understanding sound fields helps in designing spaces like theaters or recording studios to create the desired acoustic experience, ensuring sound is clear, balanced, and immersive.
