Rounding corners in a room for acoustics/repelling spiders?

Question

Would filling the corners of a room as such like the inverse of a sphere so that it is completely round instead of cornered by 3 walls do the following:

1. Help acoustics by helping to reduce standing waves?

2. Reduce/repel spiders due to the round surface making it harder for the spiders to create a web?

Answer 1

I don't know about the acoustics thing.

But the the best thing to do with spiders is kill them when you see them, (or put them outside like you love them or something) and make sure their food source is VERY limited, bugs and whatnot.

Answer 2

The corners of a room comprise a very small percentage of the total reflective surface. A "hard" room can be softened by the addition of anything that will break-up a pattern. For instance, an auditorium will have varying acoustics depending on what / who is in it. Some are designed with a particular , expanding shape, and non- parallel walls with offsets, heavy curtains and acoustical obstructions -not rounded corners. Any room full of furniture or people will be more quiet (acoustically softer) than an empty room.

Yes, spiders build in corners because it is easy. They also build webs out of doors where there are no corners, nor walls, just bushes. Whatever the location, they will find a way to build their webs.. Frankly, I would rather have a few nice big, friendly spiders than a lot of pesky bugs. Oops, there goes one now ! "Go get'm, Elmo."

Answer 3

1. i dont think so......  The sound waves should all bounce back to middle of sphere right?

2.  interesting question..............  I don't know if it would be harder.........  I am inclined to say yes bacause the webs i have are all in corners
