Mobile acoustics laboratory. This mobile laboratory was developed by the National Physical Laboratory soon after the Second World War and was the first of its kind in the UK

Acoustics laboratory. The upper transmission room in an acoustics laboratory, part of a special building designed for the accurate testing of the acoustic properties of building materials

Measuring noise, 1932
Measuring noise. Technician measuring noise levels using a portable device. Photographed at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK, in 1932

Testing an audio system, 1954
Testing an audio system. The thresholds of loudness and high frequency are being tested by projecting progressive plane sound waves at a listener

Loudspeaker and polystyrene balls. A loudspeaker takes an electrical input and converts it into a series of vibrations. This is done using electromagnets that produce vibrations in the speaker which

Technician testing a panels sound reflection
Acoustics test. Technician holds a microphone behind a plexiglass panel to test its sound reflective properties. Sound is being broadcast at the front of the panel

Acoustics test on a model of a new concert hall

Magnetic pickup cartridge of a record player. The cartridge holds the stylus or needle (not seen), which transforms the grooves in a record (black, lower centre) into sound

Acoustic testing chamber. Tiles on the wall of an anechoic chamber, a room used for testing acoustic equipment. The arrangement of the tiles minimises echoes (the reflection of sound waves)

Charles Wheatstone, British physicist
Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), British physicist. Wheatstone study of acoustics and the theory of resonance of columns of air, lead to his 1829 invention of the concertina musical instrument

Jim West. Portrait of the American acoustic engineer James Edward West (born 1931) in his laboratory at Bell Labs, USA. West joined Bell Labs after graduating in 1957

Record stylus playing record, SEM
Record stylus playing record. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the needle (stylus) of a record player in a groove on a record

Acoustic smoke rings, 19th century
Acoustic smoke rings. The device at lower right, seen mounted on a metal bar and a tuning fork, is designed to blow acoustic smoke rings

Steam-powered musical garden ornament. Historical artwork of a 17th Century garden ornament that uses the suns heat to boil water and generate steam

Acoustic echo
