	Architectural Acoustics
		In the second category are psychoacoustics and physiological acoustics, which deal broadly with the nature of speech and hearing; communication acoustics, which deals with the auditory aspects of telephony, radio and sound reproduction; musical acoustics, which deals with the acoustics of the human voice and musical instruments, and architectural acoustics.
		Such acoustical phenomena as room resonance, reverberation at low frequencies, interference, diffraction and the reflection and transmission characteristics of openings in a room or of systems of suspended panels can be understood and subjected to control only by the rigorous application of wave acoustics.
		For acoustical purposes reverberation is defined as the time required for the persistent sound to decay, or diminish, by 60 decibels, which is an energy factor of a million.
