The branch of physics that is concerned with the study of sound is known as acoustics. We can define acoustics as,
The science that deals with the study of sound and its production, transmission, and effects.
A scientist or researcher who studies acoustics is called an Acoustician and someone working in the field of acoustics technology will be called Acoustical Engineer. The main application of acoustics is to make the music or speech sound as good as possible. It is achieved by reducing the sound barriers and increasing the factors that help in the proper transmission of sound waves. Initially, acoustics was used only in industries which are based on sound like an auditorium, or theatre but today, the application of acoustics has spread to many fields.
