Aalto University researchers have found that music is perceived to have greater dynamic range in rectangular, shoebox shaped concert halls than in other types of halls. From a shoebox hall’s sidewalls, strong reflected sound arrives to listeners’ ears from directions where human directional hearing sensitivity is the highest. Sound reflected from the sidewalls strengthens the especially strong higher overtones that players produce during a whole orchestra fortissimo, but not during pianissimo passages. Therefore, such a concert hall shape affects perceived dynamic range even though rooms itself amplify all passages the same amount.
