The room is also called the Whispering Gallery because a person standing at one focus of the room can hear even a whisper spoken by a person standing at the other focus. This occurs because any sound emitted from one focus of an ellipse reflects off the side of the ellipse to the other focus. Statuary Hall is 46 feet wide and 97 feet long.
