The last recording was done in the canteen to compare its acoustics to other areas. The humming of vending machines competed with and overwhelmed the voice being recorded. The metal tables reflected sound, making it louder, while wooden chairs and floors absorbed sound. Due to obstacles absorbing sound and the confined space, the recording was louder than in the corridor or outside.

1. The last recording was done in the canteen to how the sound differs from the other two acoustics.
The main background that we can hear is the humming sound of the vending machines, which
quietened Emilys voice as it was competeing with the sound, and overpowered the voice. The sound
was reflected a lot in this area because of the metal tables, which mad it louder. But there is quite a
few obstacles that absorb the sound too such as the wooden chairs and wooden floor. This made it
louder from the roecordings from the corrider and outside. Because of the confined space, the
sound was kept within this part of the canteen which made the sound louder.
The brick walls stop the sound from
travelling any further because they
are made out of brick and cannot
absorb the sound, so it stops it
instantly. This makes the sound
appear louder.
The wooden chairs and floor absorb
the sound, and the metal tables
reflects the sound back to where it
came from which makes the sound
louder,
