Summary/Abstract: Acoustic quality is a general term used to describe the acoustic properties of an object contributing to a subjective, positive human impression. It is particularly important in educational rooms, where both teachers and students should be provided – taking into account their age – appropriate conditions for the transmission of verbal content. Acoustic quality is closely related to noise. Noise in educational facilities is one of the most common physical factors, and it can negatively affect the health of students and teachers. Noise levels in educational facilities are generally not harmful to hearing, but the impact of noise is not limited to the hearing. Long-term exposure to noise can cause irritability, hinder concentration and lead to physical fatigue. The article presents objective acoustic parameters in the context of the requirements and recommendations for ensuring good acoustic quality of educational rooms.
