Can't seem to find the answer in the Great Googleverse so thought I'd try here:
how would the acoustics of an entirely unfurnished marble corridor be (no carpeting, no rugs, no furniture or ornaments of any sort), if everything was marble (not just the floor)? Say it was 2 meter in width, 3 meter in height, and 50 meter in length. As it's bare there would obviously be more echo and resonance than if the place were furnished, so what exactly would that be? Greater echo? Longer sustenance of sound? Sorry I don't know the technical terms.
If one person were to walk down the corridor, completely alone, saying nothing but perhaps coughing, what would happen to the sound of their footsteps and cough? With the corridor only being extensive in length would the sound just dissappear down it, or would it still bounce off the walls?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
