acoustic measurement
Measuring audio properties
Acoustic measurement is the quantification of sound properties—intensity, frequency, duration, or quality.
Engineers use acoustic measurements to assess noise levels, room acoustics, or audio equipment performance.
The field spans everything from checking decibel levels at a concert to analyzing the acoustic signature of a submarine.
