Question
What is reverberation? How can it be reduced?
Answer
Reverberation:
The persistence of sound in a big hall due to repeated reflections from the walls, ceiling, and floor is called reverberation.
How to reduce it:
Reverberation can be reduced by using sound-absorbent materials, such as:
Covering the roof and walls with compressed fibreboard, rough plaster, or draperies (heavy curtains).
Using seat materials that have sound-absorbing properties.
