Compiles strategies from more than 30 years of noise engineering and assessment!

Provides numerous case studies and end-of-chapter problems for illustration and implementation of noise control applications, as well as solutions to common dilemmas encountered in noise reduction processes.

Industrial Noise Control and Acoustics offers methods to

• predict the noise generation level of common systems such as fans, motors, compressors, and cooling towers
• select the most appropriate equipment to monitor sound properties
• assess the severity of environmental noise
• modify the sources, transmission paths, and receivers of sound
• estimate sound pressure levels
• design mufflers, silencers, barriers, and enclosures
• isolate machine vibration

Industrial Noise Control and Acoustics is an excellent guide for mechanical, design, manufacturing, industrial, civil, and acoustical engineers; and environmental engineers working in noise control; and a comprehensive text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
