I have decided that I have an opinion about acoustics that for some reason wasn't there before. And that is a live acoustic with small, not too loud percussive sounds is more stimulating than the kind of quiet you get in some places where there's carpet everywhere and a kind of hush that eats all your thought processes. The kind of place where if you had chapped hands and you rubbed your fingers together you could hear that sandpaper sound. I would become more than stupid in that environment, I think I'd feel like taking a nap.
Plaster walls sound different than ones with sheet rock. A room has timbre.
I have a room in my house where the carpet got taken out and it feels clean now. Partly because of what it sounds like. Rooms with a dead acoustic don't feel tidy. They have the sound of stuff which which absorbs the energy in a room.
Next time you're in a space, listen to the room.
