acoustician
Studies sonic phenomena
An acoustician is a specialist in acoustics—the science of sound, its production, transmission, and effects.
Acousticians work in fields ranging from architectural design to audio engineering, studying how sound behaves in concert halls, recording studios, or industrial environments: The acoustician recommended adding panels to reduce echo.
