sound interference

Sound interference occurs when two or more sound waves overlap, affecting the overall sound we hear. This can happen in two ways: constructive interference, where waves combine to make a louder sound, and destructive interference, where they cancel each other out, resulting in a quieter sound or even silence. This phenomenon is commonly experienced in various environments, like concert halls or busy streets, where multiple sounds interact. Understanding sound interference helps improve audio quality in music, enhance public speaking, and design better acoustic spaces.
