Engineering Noise Control

This classic and authoritative textbook contains material that is not over-simplified and can be used to solve real-world noise control engineering problems. It covers the principles with practical application of current noise control technology.

Topics new or revised from the 5th edition include: beating
addition and subtraction of noise levels
combining multi-path noise level reductions
hearing damage assessment and protection
speech intelligibility
noise weighting curves
instrumentation, including MEMS, IEPE and TEDS sensors
noise source types, including transportation noise and equipment noise estimations
outdoor sound propagation, including noise barriers, meteorological effects and sloping ground effects
sound in rooms, muffling devices, including 4-pole analysis, self noise and pressure drop calculations
sound transmission through single, double and triple partitions
vibration measurement and control, finite element analysis
boundary element methods
and statistical energy analysis.

• Covers all aspects of industrial and environmental noise control
• Core advanced undergraduate and graduate textbook
  and reference text for acoustic consultants and engineers
• Practical applications demonstrate the theoretical concepts
