Travel of Sound
The travel of sound and how it is controlled is an interesting concept. Once again, the media is the message; how the message is interpreted depends on how it is delivered to an individual. Acoustic Tiles eliminated the problem of the echo in large rooms and controlled the travel of sound, in order to make it more direct. Personally, in some cases, I think an echo can enhance the message and has the ability to make it more dramatic. For example, when my coach is yelling at us and her voice echoes throughout the stadium it gets me pumped up and ready to play. However, in a performance or church setting, I can see how it can be very distracting.
