Today we went to the Anechoic Chamber and the Reverberation Chambers. This was what the other half of the class did yesterday. First we had to walk up Wellesly St (D:) which sucked. Then we had a little lectrue by the guy who worked there. Which, in my opionion was quite boring. Some of it was interesting, like hearing how the arcustics worked in different places. And learning that lisening to something 85 dB for four hours would damage your hearing.
After the Lecture we went to see the chambers. The first one was the Reverberation Chamber . This chamber was used to see how materials worked to absorb or relfect noise. It had these thick as metal doors with fancy locks.
The Anechoic Chamber was buzzy. it reminded me of a music video, of the Windows Media Player visualizations. All along the ceilling, floor and walls wer foam wedges pointed outwards in squares. They had this springing metal fence that you syood on abouve the chambers real floor.
Both Chambers where seperate from the building they where in.
It was quite fun looking at these chambers. Both so completely different. One that reflected every soun back at you hundreds of times and one that was as quite as a grave.
