Yes, there is something fishy about this article. The text appears as though it were cut and pasted from a corporate website. All they failed to do it post a link to their site...

probably just exerpted from a textbook Covalent 05:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Covalent, Do you happen to know a good architectural acoustic website where I could learn more about this topic? I am entering grad school soon and would like to research this topic prior to starting. Thanks.

not any great websites that i know of but here is one website:

hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/acoustic/arcaco.html

also here is a textbook you might find in the library:

Architectural Acoustics Design Guide (Hardcover) by Acentech, James P. Cowan

good luck and please sign your posts in the future Covalent 06:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. That was my first "edit" I'm still learning the syntax.(Pugabear 07:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC))

I think that they should be merged, but the question is how? Where would the information fit in the Architectural acoustics article? In a new section? Within an existing one? I think we need to figure that out before any merge can be done properly. --GordonJTaylor 02:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

Thanks for the heads up at WP:WPARCH. I was unaware of this article when I wrote the little stub on Acoustic transmission which I wrote from a UK architect's perspective - it might be better employed in this article.--Mcginnly | Natter 12:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Usually architectural acoustics concerns the interior design of spaces. The sound transmission stuff is normally referred to as building acoustics. So this page is odd anyway, because far too much of it is about transmission Trevorcox (Professor of Acoustic Engineering!)

Oppose merger this merge idea makes little sense. the two topics are quite different. the transmission is a subset of architectural acoustics, the latter of which is a huge subject, probably eventually needing several sub-articles. Anlace 23:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
