Acoustical design in architecture design process refers to the planning, design, and implementation of acoustic systems and components within a building or structure to control and enhance sound quality and minimize acoustic disturbance. Acoustical design aims to ensure that the building's interior spaces achieve the desired acoustic performance for their function, such as reducing outside noise, preventing echoes, improving speech intelligibility, and maximizing reverberation times for music performance. The acoustical design includes the selection of appropriate materials, placement of sound-absorbing baffles, incorporation of acoustic barriers and insulation, and integration of sound systems. Proper acoustical design creates a comfortable, functional environment where sound can be clearly heard and appreciated without causing any disruptions.
