Sound levels being reduced is significant. Low-frequency sounds around 125Hz are important to reduce as this enhances student’s ability to listen making listening comfortable for them. Low frequency sounds often interfere with speech clarity. When sound levels are reduced unwanted low-frequency sounds are filtered out which allow listeners to hear the speech clearly.
Clarity of speech is preserved by restricting low-frequency strong vowel sounds which then aids the consonant sounds. A speech reflecting zone would need to be in place with classrooms that are of a larger space and students are a distance of 8 meters away from their teacher so they are heard at the back of the classroom.
Acoustic wall panels when placed opposite the speaker will have a great effect on the overall speech clarity. Where suspended ceilings are not possible to install acoustic ceiling tiles is an excellent way to further enhance noise reduction.
