Danish Sound Day 2024

Sound and acoustics in architecture and room design
5 November 2023 - 08:00 - 19:00

Welcome!

We are thrilled to invite you to Danish Sound Day 2024 at the Royal Danish Academy. The conference will gather researchers, innovative tech experts, entrepreneurs and sound professionals from across the sound community. Join us for an engaging day of exploring sound and acoustics in architecture and room design.

It is well known that poor room acoustics and unhealthy sound environments can lead to serious health implications and cognitive impairment. However, despite years of research and WHO recommendations, acoustic consideration and implementation is often overlooked or underprioritized in design and building practice. Why is that the case, and what can we do to change it? 

The Royal Danish Academy is the ideal setting for presenting leading voices in the field of acoustics, architecture and human sound perception. Besides talks and debates, there will be company demos, guided tours, startup & research pitch presentations and plenty of networking opportunities. 

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with professionals from every corner of the sound field. We look forward to seeing you there! 

Location:
Royal Danish Academy, Philip de Langes Allé 10, 1435 Copenhagen K
