Product Description
ASI Journal
"... of particular value to students of the construction disciplines who are required to make a study of this
subject"
Product Description
Acoustics and Noise Control provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control. Fully revised and updated throughout, the second edition assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and requires only a basic knowledge of mathematics and physics.
This book is an ideal course text for noise control units on BTEC HNC/D building studies and building services engineering courses and degree courses in building, architecture, civil engineering, environmental health and science, and related subjects. It is particularly suitable for those studying for the Institute of Acoustics Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control. It is also a useful reference book for noise consultants, architects, building services engineers and environmental health officers.

If you are studying acoustics and noise control, or a course that covers either area, then this may be the book you were looking for.
It covers how to measure SPL, the acoustic environment and how sound behaves when both airborne and structure-born. It will also help with room acoustic calculations and areas relating to noise control engineering and vibrations.
The book itself is laid out very neatly with nice sub-titles in each chapter. The terminology is not over complex, but sufficient enough that the novice can understand it without feeling patronised. It has many data tables and diagrams that are clear and easy to understand and also offer a graphical solution to the text. The author has also broken down the many equations into steps so that they are not too overwhelming, but managable.
I found this text very useful in my coursework and referred to it often. I would recommend it to anyone who is undertaking a college or further education course in this area.

Just the sight of the cover of this book brings me out in a cold sweat! I did the Institute of Acoustics post-grad diploma course for which this was the set text. Probably the best resource you can find to try and simplify a very complex subject into a single book. It will still fry your brain though if you try and learn all the calculations required to apply the theory to practical scenarios. BUT - I still refer to it 10 years after completing my course when dealing with tricky planning application consultations so it mustbe useful.
