Being both an experienced recording engineer and an oboist, here are my thoughts on this. In loudspeaker testing they use a room with very little reflection called an “anechoic chamber”. Associates, who have been inside one, tell me that you can’t hear very much of your own, normal speaking voice, due to the almost complete lack of reflected sound. Now, if you are in a fairly reverberant hall, you will have a fair amount of reflected sound, which of course, will add to your direct sound, which will tend to make it louder. There would be a question though, about whether there is actually an increase in dynamic range, as softer sounds may be added to, by the reflections, in the same amount, as the louder sounds, so the dynamic range (ratio of loud to soft) will remain the same. I’ll see if I can find an answer. Regards, Loree BF 51
