Abstract
Most people think acoustics applies only to rooms with special functions, such as concert halls or churches. Actually, any space has acoustical qualities, and if these qualities are inappropriate, the utility of the space may be compromised. Normally, noise problems are associated with sounds that people can hear. However, ultrasonic and infrasonic sounds can also produce psychological effects and, under certain conditions, definite physiological effects.
