Abstract

The article analyzes the influence of the architecture of the concert hall on acoustics and the formation of the effect of musical performance. The author notes that the architecture of a concert hall can be of great importance in providing an acoustic effect. In addition, the acoustics of a concert hall can influence how musicians perceive their playing and how the audience perceives the work. Some factors that may affect the acoustics of a concert hall include the shape and size of the hall, the materials used to finish the walls and ceiling, the location of the stage and audience seats, as well as acoustic equipment. The shape of the concert hall affects how sound waves are reflected inside the hall. An ideal concert hall should have a shape that allows sound waves to spread evenly in all directions and reflect off the walls and ceiling in such a manner that a uniform sound background is created. This helps to create clarity and clarity of sound. At the present stage, special software tools are used to simulate sound in the hall, experiments are carried out with various acoustic materials and the arrangement of elements in the hall, and experienced architects who have deep knowledge in the field of acoustics and sound engineering are also involved.
