- W1992300959 abstract "Whispering archways are whispering galleries. They are sometimes found around smooth arches, doorways, and even bridges. Persons positioned on opposite sides of a whispering arch communicate privately by whispering into the arch. In that way they function as private and even intimate soundscapes. Some whispering arches that have stood for centuries have inspired local folk legends. Such acoustical architecture can help to establish a sense of place and strengthen emotional ties. It is said that a whispering arch at the entrance to a 10th c. Gothic cathedral at the historic monastic site of Clonmacnoise in the Irish midlands figured in local courtship for centuries. There, shy young lovers are said to have uttered vows of love and proposals of marriage. The arch was also used by lepers to give confession without infecting the priest. Whispering arches were almost certainly unintended in the past but can also be created intentionally as an intimate form of public art. Recent measurements on a whispering archway at West Chester University show that high background noise levels from traffic or air handlers can ruin an otherwise intimate space; however, so modern architects should plan the entire soundscape carefully." @default.
