[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition Hearing] is one of the most crucial means of survival in the [[animal]] world, and speech is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human development and [[culture]]. So it is no surprise that the science of acoustics spreads across so many [[facet]]s of our [[society]] - [[music]], [[medicine]], [[architecture]], industrial production, [[war]]fare and more. Art, craft, science and technology have provoked one another to advance the whole, as in many other fields of knowledge.

The word "acoustic" is derived from the [[Greek]] word ακουστικός (akoustikos), [[meaning]] "of or for hearing, ready to hear"[1] and that from ακουστός (akoustos), "heard, audible"[2], which in turn derives from the verb ακούω (akouo), "I hear"[3]. The [[Latin]] synonym is "sonic". After acousticians had extended their studies to frequencies above and below the audible range, it became conventional to identify these frequency ranges as "ultrasonic" and "infrasonic" respectively, while letting the word "acoustic" refer to the entire frequency range without limit.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics]
