   Anechoic Chambers

An anechoic chamber is a room that is isolated from external sound or electromagnetic radiation sources, sometimes using sound proofing, and prevents the reflection of wave phenomena (reverberation). In rooms such as these, the only sounds which exist are emitted directly from their source, and not reflected from another part of the chamber. Anechoic rooms have the characteristic of being muted, muffled, and silent. Anechoic chambers are widely used for measuring the acoustic properties of acoustic instruments, measuring the transfer functions of electro-acoustic devices, testing microphones and performing psychoacoustics experiments (such as measuring the quality of audio codecs or measuring head-related transfer functions).
