Recently it has been hot here on the Island; 30° Celsius outside on my deck and around 25° C inside the mansion (I don't have AC).
My ears are still relatively decent, and I noticed a change in sound when listening to music for the last week.
The bass is slower muggier/boomier, and the highs suffer too with less presence, less distinction, and slower too. The mids seem to disappeared in the heat.
It is overall an unbalanced sound, an inferior music listening experience.
So because I am not a dreamer I decided to pursue this subject and started to do some research:
• https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/effects-of-temperature-humidity-live-sound/
• http://www.acousticsbydesign.com/acoustics-blog/weather-affects-noise-study.htm
• https://www.gearslutz.com/board/mas...mperature-humidity-room-acoustics-effect.html
It's only the beginning, because there are many other factors in line with physicality, chemistry, human interaction (hearing) from temperature changes when listening to music from our audio components and sound's travelling.
We have here @ WBF in the past discussed some aspects on this subject. I will try to locate the thread(s) where it was mentioned.
Anyway, this morning it crossed my mind and I thought of sharing plus learning from others who also are aware of this and with their knowledge and experience.
And we all know that enemy number one of musical instruments and audio components and mechanical loudspeakers is heat.
And the human ear is the first one to register this change for the worst.
I'm interested in what you think and have to say and in learning more.
Some of you have temperature controlled rooms with AC. ...With regulated power grid unaffected by electrical changes.
AC and fans are noise contaminators; do you notice a sound difference between having then On and Off?
The playing field is all yours now; I am reading and listening.
I'm also in search of good links, and of interested parties from audio experts and from acousticians/physicists, from members/reader's experience.
