ACOUSTIC BUIDING CASE STUDY
Conclusion
In my view this auditorium of sabra is made in best way to improve the sound disturbance of the
hall
Critics
they could have use more better absorptive
material for the chairs and if they could have
made more compact chair space to reduce the
reflection back to the stage
And the floor is wood as we know wood have
good sound absorption power but it wood be
more better to use carpets for the waking
space of the seating area b/that part have fluent
or by any time people use that way so in that
case walking sound could disturb the person
near by the walking place
Good view
the materials they have used on the walls are very good for the purpose that are made for And
the ceiling wave like pattern to reduce the sound reflection is also good .
