Generation

**Reverberation time (RT60)** is the time it takes for sound to decay by 60 decibels (to one-millionth of its original intensity) after the sound source stops. It matters because it fundamentally affects how we perceive speech intelligibility and music quality in a space—too short and sound feels dead and unnatural, too long and speech becomes muddy as syllables blur together. Architects and acousticians carefully control RT60 (targeting 0.5-1s for speech venues, 1.5-2.5s for concert halls) to optimize spaces for their intended use.
