Reich, Rebecca; Bradley, John
Canadian Acoustics/Acoustique Canadienne, v26 n4 p15-21 1998
Investigates conditions relating to the maximum useful-to-detrimental sound ratios present in classrooms and determining the optimum conditions for speech intelligibility. Reveals that speech intelligibility is more strongly influenced by ambient noise levels and that the optimal location for sound absorbing material is on a classroom's upper walls. (GR)
