Because sound waves have a long wave length. This enables them to propagate around corners. Also, sound can travel through materials like walls.

Ceramic tile what is the best method for squaring a room?

I typically pick the longest wall or the straightest line in the room that has the most exposure and start there with full tiles. Another method would be to find the center point of the room and lay your first tile there. Then when you get to the walls all opposite walls will have the same cut size.


How many sq feet is a 20 x 11 ft room?

There are 220 sq feet on the floor, and another 220 sq feet on the ceiling. There are also a lot more sq feet on the walls, but we can't total them up without knowing the height of the room.


Why do contractors start in the middle of the room when setting floor tile and not at one wall?

Contractors typically will start in the middle of a room for a couple of reasons. First off, when you have multiple people working on a job I can tell you that it will take far less time and save you money. In order for me to complete a job with multiple people I need there to be enough room for multiple people to work and starting in a corner doesn't allow this. You may wonder, "why not just have each worker start in a different part of the room?". This is a good question, the reason is because you need the tiles to match up perfectly when the corners meet, so it's better to build from the center and break off to the corners, then if there is any sizing that needs to be done, the tiles can be cut in the corners of the room where it is less noticeable rather than finishing up in the center. Another reason is because it allows time for drying. If you work from just the corner then you have only one direction to go, if you work from the center you can stop working on one side and work on another while the previous section dries. Starting from the center of the room has a lot of advantages when tiling a room.

Why can you hear someone but not see them from another room?

You can hear the people speaking because sound waves are reflected off of other objects (walls, trees, etc.). When the waves are reflected, they can still make it to your position and allow you to continue hearing the people as they walk. Sound waves bend around the corner.
