What effect does distance have on the propagation of sound?

Arpeggio LLC : Consultants in Acoustics, Noise, and Vibratio...
The effect of distance on the propagation of sound depends on the nature of the sound source and the surrounding environment and climate. If the source is outdoors, and it is small compared with the distance to the measurement location, the sound energy will spread over an area which is proportional to the square of the distance. This "inverse square" relationship dictates that sound level will decrease by 6 dB for each doubling of distance.

What effect does a Drum Shield have on how my drums sound?

Drum Shield FAQ's
Using the Drum Shield will improve the sound of your drums by allowing the natural sound and the drum microphone sound to mix appropriately with the overall sound of the band. The deeper more natural drum sound occurs by not allowing your drums to bleed into other microphones (vocal or instrument). A decrease in the ability of a microphone to pickup low and middle frequencies occurs the further the sound source is from the microphone.

How does the length and diameter of an exhaust effect sound?

SuperTrapp: Performance Exhaust
If we're talking about straight through pipes with no mufflers/baffles then a smaller diameter pipe will give you a snappier sound (high frequency) and a larger diameter pipe will give you a deeper sound (low frequency). Longer pipe lengths lessen the volume of sound and shorter pipes increase the volume of sound. Something to keep in mind is that the human ear is more sensitive to higher frequencies; this means that we perceive these sounds as louder.

Which element, body or hardness of bridge plate/block, has more effect on a Strat's sound?

DeTemple Guitars - FAQs
I think that the question is best answered by thinking of Ash and Alder bodied Strats®. If both of the instruments had the identical bridge components (machined cold rolled steel blocks, hardened steel bridge plates, and same material saddles) you would still hear a big difference between the two guitars. We know that the body material does play a large role in the end sound of the instrument. But there is also a tremendous difference heard in the block material that is being used.

Q4. Does soundhole design have any effect on the sound of the dulcimer?

Frequently Asked Questions
Again, as in Question 2, it is probably the overall size of the soundhole--rather than the shape--that is more likely to affect the sound of the dulcimer. In a very general sense, HUGE soundholes remove large sections of the vibrating area of the soundboard. This certainly doesn't seem like a great idea, and the large-soundhole dulcimers I've played in the past all had a kind of boomy, echo-ey sound.

Sound quality is just as important as picture quality, but is often given less attention by producers. We reject far more films because of unacceptable audio quality than because of poor photography. During production, pay as much attention to microphone selection and placement as to camera angles — it will pay off in a better, and more marketable, film.
