Content & Educational Disclaimer
1. Educational & Informational Scope
The publications, research summaries, mathematical algorithms, and technical articles published by CONTORTED DA (Org. nr: 937 299 524, Inndalsveien 102, 5063 Bergen, Norway) are compiled and distributed exclusively for educational, academic, and informational purposes.
Our goal is to disseminate scientific principles of sound engineering, room mode resonance modeling, spatial audio psychoacoustics, and archival audio preservation methods to the international audio community.
2. Non-Medical & Non-Clinical Disclaimer
Important Notice: While our research covers psychoacoustics, auditory perception, and equal-loudness contour science (ISO 226), nothing contained on this website constitutes clinical audiological diagnosis, medical advice, or hearing health treatment. Individuals experiencing hearing loss, persistent tinnitus, hyperacusis, or acoustic trauma should seek immediate consultation with a licensed clinical medical professional or licensed audiologist.
3. Technical & Architectural Modeling Notice
The online Sabine RT60 reverberation calculator, axial mode frequency formulas, and acoustic isolation guidelines provided on this portal represent theoretical mathematical approximations. Actual room acoustic performance is heavily influenced by non-uniform material porosity, HVAC airflow, structural flanking, boundary elasticity, and temperature variances.
These calculation tools are intended as preliminary planning aids and must not replace professional on-site calibrated impulse response testing, laser Doppler vibrometry, or architectural engineering assessments for commercial facilities.
4. Non-Retail & Non-Commercial Advisory Notice
CONTORTED DA operates as an academic research institute and consultative technical authority. We do not manufacture, stock, or distribute consumer retail hardware, acoustic foam panels, audio interfaces, or studio monitors. Mentions of industry standard protocols (e.g. AES, EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770) are for scientific comparison and standardization analysis only and do not imply commercial endorsement.
5. External Links & Citations
Our research papers may reference external academic journals, standardisation bodies (ISO, IEC, AES), or university archives. CONTORTED DA does not assume responsibility for the availability, editorial accuracy, or data privacy practices of third-party external resources.
6. Inquiries & Verification
