What is acoustics
Acoustics is the science of sound. There are many kinds of sound and many ways that it affects our lives. We use sound to communicate and you might also know that acoustics is important for creating musical instruments or concert halls or surround sound stereo or hearing aids.
What is reverberation
Reverberation is the collection of reflected sounds from the surfaces in an enclosure like an auditorium.
The interval between the initial direct arrival of a sound wave and the last audible reflected wave is called reverberation time.

Reflection of sound
Reflection are an important part of acoustical design for music performance venues For effective music acoustic ,the reflection have to arrive with in the correct time window and from the correct direction.
Useful reflection
A properly designed acoustical environment provides a good listening experience for audience by enhancing the performance or presentation Even and natural sound coverage ,freedom from intruding noise and sense of presence from the performer or presentation are all important aspects of good acoustics Acoustics should be considered very early in the design process and the aesthetic developed in accordance with those requirements.

Focusing of sound
Any time the surfaces of a room focus the sound which is reflected from them, they create spots of high intensity and other spots with low intensity. This is generally undesirable in an auditorium since you want a uniform, evenly dispersed sound to all listeners.
Even large flat reflective surfaces are to be avoided because of the prominent reflection which will be produced.
Parallel flat walls can produce a pattern of reflections known as a "flutter echo" as the sound waves travel back and forth between the surfaces. Such flutter echoes are often encountered in high school gymnasiums where there are parallel side walls and also a reflective floor and ceiling.

Echoes
In audio signal processing and acoustics, an echo (plural echoes) is a reflection of sound, arriving at the listener some time after the direct sound. Typical examples are the echo produced by the bottom of a well, by a building, or by the walls of an enclosed room and an empty room. A true echo is a single reflection of the sound source. The time delay is the extra distance divided by the speed of sound.
RESONANSE
Acoustic resonance is the tendency of an acoustic system to absorb more energy when it is forced or driven at a frequency that matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequency) than it does at other frequencies.

EXTERNAL NOISE
Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate (music, speech, etc.) or unintended. It is important to recognize that the term "noise" is also used to refer to other, nonaudible forms, especially in electronics and in the radio/radar spectrum.

Seating in auditorium
The following are some recommendations regarding the use of sound reflectors and diffusers: For vocal enhancement, use sound reflectors with flat surfaces or moderately convex surfaces (radius of curvature about 20 feet) that are tilted to reflect sound toward listeners at the middle to rear of the seating areas (an acoustical consultant should use scale models or ray diagrams on section drawings to determine optimum position and orientation for reflectors). Be sure the surface of the reflector is smooth. Depth of ribs or other surface relief should not exceed one-half inch. For music enhancement, be sure the surface of the reflector has sound-diffusing elements or other significant surface modulations. Sound-diffusing shapes include: convex, gull-wing, pyramidal, and array of wells of varying depths. Avoid concave shapes because they focus rather than evenly distribute sound. Sound reflectors and diffusers should be constructed from hard-surfaced materials (such as wood, gypsum board, or acrylic plastic) that have sound absorption coefficients less than 0.10 at 2000Hz. Panels should be well braced to be rigid.
