Links to Guastavino tile and Rafael Guastavino would make this fragment more encyclopedic. But why is this a separate encyclopedia article at all? --Wetman 20:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

This article now links to Gustavino and Sabine, but I don't see anywhere in the biographical articles of those two men where Akoustolith is mentioned. Someone who knows more on the topic than I should add Akoustolith into these articles. Also, if this article isn't going to be expanded, it out to be merged to a related acoustics or architecture article. As is, it's little more than a dictionary definition, making it unclear if a stand-alone article is necessary. I feel like a tourist (talk) 14:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

The akoustolith article is currently very sparse, I believe it could be improved by adding the following information: Akoustolith Composition Akoustolith Production Akoustolith Acoustical Properties Akoustolith Uses/Case Studies
