Areas of focus
There are common areas where people with disabilities may experience acoustics-related barriers to accessibility. These include, but are not limited to:
- Types of noise
- Sound level, reverberation time, sound absorption and transmission
- Noise levels from:
- internal sources, such as equipment in the room, reverberation, and echo; and
- external sources, such as impact noise, environmental noise, and a building’s heating and cooling equipment.
- Acoustics of specific spaces, such as workspaces, common areas, training spaces, and service counters
- Assistive technologies, including assistive listening systems and captioning systems, and the interoperability of these devices with personal technologies
