Acoustics is a brach of science related to propagation, transmission and other properties of sound. Acoustical problems has some important effects on human health and life conditions today. Problems related to sound affect design process.The aim of the course is, giving basic information needed about the subject to the candidate of architects, and being conscious of architectural acoustic and sound insulation for their future professional life.
