Timecodes:
00:00 - Is this beam/pillar/cubby/furniture reflecting sound in a bad way?
01:39 - If something in your room is vibrating, rattling, or resonating
03:39 - Sound waves only "see" objects the size of their wave length
06:03 - A quick rule of thumb to quickly estimate problem frequencies
08:03 - Example: The wood frame of absorbers panels
10:08 - Example: The gap between absorber panels on the wall or ceiling
11:27 - Important: Does the object reflect energy back to your listening position?
13:43 - Always see individual problems in the context of the whole room

Have you ever wondered if a certain *thing (insert *beam/pillar/furniture/cubby/screen/etc here) in your room is causing an acoustic problem?

Maybe you've got a bunch of panels up on the wall and you're thinking that the wood frame is actually reflecting sound in a bad way.

Or there's an oddly angled piece of wall that you can't properly treat and you'd like to know just how much of an impact it has.

Of course really understanding this in detail is highly dependent on your exact situation.

But there's a quick way of roughly estimating just how large a problem can be caused by any particular *thing in your room.

It's the thought process that I always go through first when I'm asked this question.

That's what I want to show you today.

Here's my quick rule of thumb to know just how much of a problem a certain *thing in a room causes.
