Q.No.156: - Why must the volume of a stereo in a room with wall-to-wall carpet is turned higher than in a room with a wooden floor?

Ans: - Volume of a stereo in a room with wall to wall carpet must be tuned higher than in a room with a wooden floor because reflection of sound is more prominent if the surface is smooth, and less if the surface is irregular.

More vibrations are produced in a room with wooden floor than a carpeted floor which causes more loudness. that's why stereo volume is kept higher in carpeted room.
