Its that simple nowadays i wonder what be told from the ad you would have done with a tool like to talk but then again the music they composed was meant to be played in concert halls designed to carry the sound all the way up to the gallery but one thing is still true today the right sound makes all the difference. A busy more with stores and shop is and they make plenty of noise it is pretty loud in general and theres room. For help. Its too loud too much sound as reflected for me it feels overwhelming. Durk noise listens for a living a physicist advises builders an architect on all things acoustic for example on how to lower noise levels.

This is especially true when music is involved. In the past ok stations had to calculate complex models a concept. But today computer programs can tell them what a performance will sound like from any seat in the audience before construction even begins. To militarize will become a simulation programs that are used everywhere by acoustics experts nowadays have been around since the 1990 s.
