Innovative sound-mapping software based on human hearing has been developed to help architects design out unwanted noise.
The new software generates audibility maps of proposed room designs.
The EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) project has been developed at Cardiff University.
These maps show hotspots where conversations would not be intelligible if the room were busy. Architects can then adjust their designs to reduce reverberation until the hotspots are eliminated and audibility is maximised.

I’m going to a new school next year and want to make a ton of new friends. Any tips? Any good conversation starters?? HELP!
Since you’re new you might what to ask questions about the school, the town, your fellow schoolmates, teachers, what classes to avoid taking etc. Just start with something and other things may pop into your head as the conversation continues. It is very nervewracking starting a new life somewhere.

I have girl friends but sometimes I just don’t know what to say. Thanks
Be outgoing when you say this: ”Hey there (name)! What have you been up too?” and when he/she answers (for example: ”Oh I’ve been cooking on the grill these past few weeks) you’d say (example: Really, what foods? Can I have the recipe please? Tell me about them!)
