Indoor acoustics: what do they teach?

What do they teach residential architects and designers about acoustics and noise?

We headed for the kitchen. It was beautiful. They'd just finished a kitchen re-do that belongs in a magazine. It was big, and comfortable There 10 folks in there and room for 25.<br /><br />Inside though, I couldn't "hear" a female voice even when she stood right in front of me. I doubt it's a problem in ordinary family use. But it got me thinking.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5986738360/" title="P1130273-2011-07-28-Klimchak-at-Balzer-Theater-at-Herrens-Pre-show by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1130273-2011-07-28-Klimchak-at-Balzer-Theater-at-Herrens-Pre-show" height="480" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5986738360_b8de5c346b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Professionals plan acoustics for theaters. Last night the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/sets/72157627305432696/">Balzer Theater</a> was a sanctuary. The conversation and <a href="http://www.klimchakmusic.com/calendar.php">Klimchak's music</a> were delightful.<br /><br />But do acoustic engineers deal with houses? Do they teach acoustics in design school?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5962404819/" title="P1120968-2011-07-21-Atlanta-Diversity-Mixer-AABJ-and-AAJA by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1120968-2011-07-21-Atlanta-Diversity-Mixer-AABJ-and-AAJA" height="480" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5962404819_e112d6f69a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />The <a href="http://5seasons.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=44&Itemid=86">westside Sky Bar at 5 Seasons Brewing Company is spectacular</a> but I can't take it inside.<br /><br />My children warn me about loud places. For them a loud place is likely a fun place. But they know how it affects me.<br /><br />I expect unpleasant noise in bars and restaurants but not in a house.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/5906441959/" title="P1120186-2011-07-04-July-4th-party-indoors-during-storm by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1120186-2011-07-04-July-4th-party-indoors-during-storm" height="480" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/5906441959_282595b3db_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />So it made me think about <a href="http://architecturetourist.blogspot.com/2011/07/73-at-our-july-4th-party-circulation.html">our 4th party</a>. There were more than 50 folks in there and yet I could hear. Was it planned or was it a fortunate accident?
