Dear List,

In his very thoughtful and comprehensive summary of Sound Level
Meters, Michael Gordon mentions the influence of body reflections on
the measurement.

A recording of a balloon pop in an anechoic chamber (available at
http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.balloonpop.html) serves to
illustrate this point.

Cordially,

Lawrence Fritts
