Acoustics in the Hospitality Industry: A Subjective and Objective Analysis

By L. H. Christie & J. R. H. Bell-Booth

What constitutes good acoustic conditions for the social environments of bars, restaurants and cafes? Or, more importantly, what does the general population expect and accept as desirable conditions to be in? The present study sought to address these questions by correlating what people in these environments want and perceive the acoustic levels as, with actual physical measurements of these environments.
