I'm arguing with my friend: If you're in a room, and you have two small rooms connected to it. If you open the doors to those rooms, does it increase or decrease the reverb in the room?

In my opinion, it would increase the reverb, as the room would effectively be larger. My friend think it would decrease the reverb as the sound would be broken up more.

Who's right?

@Gargron Вопрос задан некорректно, у реверберации (т.е. восприяти отраженного звука) больше одного параметра. Нужно уточнение, о чем именно идет речь.

You are, Eugen. Prove it by having them sit in a closet and speak.

@Gargron I think it decreases because sound enters those rooms but it is hard for it to come out

What do you and your friend mean by "increasing reverb"?

And what is the context? Are you talking about audio engineering? Or live perception of the reverberation of the room?

I know it increases the reverb because when my mom called me using my full name from the next room it always resounded deeply in my ears. 🤓

@Gargron STOP ARGUING! Then the Room is Silent... No Reverb at all...

This depends on the size of the doors and the rooms. What is the ratio to door and wall?

@Gargron A similar question was infamously posed to the Royal Society by King James the first. He asked why a goldfish could swim in a full bowl of water without spilling the water when alive but once it died the water spilled. Scientists gave forth various explanations a week later when he told them it wasn't actually true. Lead to the Amurkan aphorism. Do the fucking experiment.
