Scientist tests sound absorption with miniskirts in audience
Knudsen mounts 10 miniskirted women in a reverberation chamber and uses a .22 pistol to measure Sabin absorption. A reading of 2.5 is compared with 4.6 from 10 traditionally dressed subjects, aiming to solve summer acoustics as audiences wear less clothing. He envisions padded seats to absorb sound regardless of attire. Beards’ effect on high frequencies is noted but deemed a communication barrier.
