Sound study, also known as ACOUSTICS, is the scientific study of sound and its properties. It involves the study of how sound is created, transmitted, and received. ACOUSTICS is a branch of physics that deals with the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound. It is used in many fields such as architecture, engineering, music, and medicine. ACOUSTICS is also used to measure the sound levels in different environments and to design sound systems for various applications.
