Architectural acoustics (also known as building acoustics) involves the scientific understanding of how to achieve good sound within a building.<ref>{{cite book|last=Morfey|first=Christopher|title=Dictionary of Acoustics|year=2001|publisher=Academic Press|pages=32}}</ref> It typically involves the study of speech intelligibility, speech privacy, music quality, and vibration reduction in the built environment.<ref>{{cite book|last=Templeton|first=Duncan|title=Acoustics in the Built Environment: Advice for the Design Team|year=1993|publisher=Architectural Press|isbn=978-0750605380}}</ref> Commonly studied environments are hospitals, classrooms, dwellings, performance venues, recording and broadcasting studios. Focus considerations include room acoustics, airborne and impact transmission in building structures, airborne and structure-borne noise control, noise control of building systems and electroacoustic systems.<ref>[https://asastudents.org/about/what-are-tcs/]</ref>
