Why are Acoustics so important?

Poor acoustics; a situation when sound becomes noise, a beautiful historic or modern building becomes echoic. The ambience is compromised with intense reverberation as sound bounces from one hard surface to the next; visitors start whispering and instantly they notice the echo and the noise!

More seriously in educational and office situations such as lecture theatres, halls and open plan office areas, students and workers become agitated as concentration levels are compromised.  In large open areas such as Airports and Underground rail networks, it is noticeable to see people heading for the information boards as indistinguishable announcements reverberate around the hard walls, floors and ceilings.
