In large areas, such as sports centres, indoor swimming pools etc. untreated surfaces lead to different rates of decline of the sound field in a room. This in turn will often lead to a longer reverberation time, compared to a calculation using the simple Sabine formula.  3, record 2, English, - Sabine%20formula

The reverberation time(RT) of a room or concert hall is the time it takes for a sound to decay 60 dB from its initial sound pressure level. This quantity can be measured directly or can be expressed via the Sabine formula.  4, record 2, English, - Sabine%20formula

L'homogénéité des niveaux sonores ne peut exister que dans le cadre d'une multidiffusion extrêmement importante. La loi de la décroissance du son (atténuation de 6 dB, à chaque doublement de la distance, dans un espace non réverbérant) signifie dans cette salle que, pour obtenir 105 dB à la console en fond de salle, il faut avoir 125 dB en sortie de baffles. Ce qui fait, pour le premier spectateur placé à 4 mètres, un bon 113 dB. Pression sonore dangereuse pour les oreilles dès lors qu'elle est permanente durant tout le temps d'un concert.  3, record 5, French, - d%C3%A9croissance%20du%20son

A genre of music typified by moderate to slow measures punctuated by fast measures, heavily distorted guitars, double-bass drums, and deep, hoarse vocals made to sound as though they come from the very mouth of Satan. The lyrics normally concern death, decay, accepting Satan as a personal saviour, and, among intellectual bands such as Skin Chamber, existential emptiness. Death metal appears to have evolved from speed metal such as Slayer early Metallica, as well as from such straightforward metal bands as Mötorhead and Black Sabbath. The style of the vocals in death metal seems to be in part a rebellion against the wailing high-pitch vocals of glam metal bands in the tradition of Led Zeppelin and Guns ’n’ Roses. Examples of death metal bands : Cannibal Corpse, Godflesh, and some Sepultura.  2, record 6, English, - death%20metal
