This textbook covers the range of essential topics for industrial noise control for undergraduates and professionals with no background in acoustics, and with detailed explanations of important concepts, with extensive worked examples. Now with 170 problems and solutions, and 80 problems with solutions only for instructors.



The second edition of Noise Control: From Concept to Application, newly expanded and thoroughly updated, now includes 180 graded problems with solutions, plus 100 end-of-chapter problems with solutions available for instructors on the authors’ website. Working from basic scientific principles, the authors show how an understanding of sound can be applied to real-world settings, working through numerous examples in detail and covering good practice in noise control for both new and existing facilities.

It covers the essential topics for industrial noise control: acoustics, noise criteria, hearing damage risk, noise assessment measures, measurement instrumentation, sound source types including the calculation and measurement of their output power, sound propagation outdoors, sound in rooms, sound absorbing materials, sound transmission through partitions and enclosures, noise barriers, reactive and dissipative muffler noise reduction, and muffler design considerations such as pressure loss and self-noise generation.

Detailed explanations of important concepts make this textbook easy to understand by engineering and science undergraduates, as well as professionals with no background in acoustics.
