Studying acoustic communication requires both basic understanding and engineering application goals.

Evidence

The rest of this book describes facts, theories, and models of communication by sound and voice – both human and machine. The objective of basic research in this field is to better understand how we communicate, while the engineering goal is to develop and use technology to make this communication more versatile and powerful. In both cases, the challenge is to understand a variety of topics and to solve problems by approaching them from several points of view. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 88
