| Summary: | In recent years we have interviewed members of the audience after musical performances and asked
them to evaluate the acoustics of the concert halls. A group of ‘music lovers’ (with a high level of musical
training and experience) and ‘acousticians’ (with a wide knowledge of the physical characteristics of sound
transmission) also attended each performance and answered the same questions as the general public.
This group thereby served as a control group when evaluating surveys of the general public. In this paper,
the results obtained when analyzing these control group surveys are presented. This analysis shows that
a common vocabulary exists between music lovers and acousticians when rating a hall, although the
grouping of the questions for each factor depends on the training of the respondents. |
