Concert‐hall acoustics are governed by the meshing of two sets of problems: on the one hand the physical problems of wave propagation and attenuation in irregularly bounded spaces and, on the other hand, the psychological problems of how the human listener perceives the sounds impinging on his ears and what he prefers to hear.
