Because acoustics define an environment as surely as sight.
Define evil as inescapable noise, and one is on the right track.
IMO, the golden mean, the golden ratio, is as much about “sound” as the “sense” of proportion being natural. Pleasing.
Sound falls off naturally or (perceived) not at all.
One can sit in the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas along the second or third tier (due to sight lines) and look instantly in a capacity hall during a performance at the person who just coughed. Behind a fist. Muffled.
Speak from the stage in a just above normal tone to a lecture audience of thirty, and all can hear. No matter where seated.
In a house, lack of acoustic privacy is a problem. The “reason” for rooms is more auditory than visual.
