In commercial environments, design choices often emphasize form, color, and lighting\u2014but sound plays a crucial role in how a space is perceived and used. Whether it\u2019s reducing stress in healthcare settings, boosting productivity in offices, or enhancing customer experience in retail, good acoustic design shapes how people interact with built environments. This article highlights the science and strategy behind sound in architecture and why acoustics should never be an afterthought.
