Summary
Provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control, covering recent changes in standards, codes of practice and legislation. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject. Also new to this edition is a chapter on measurement and instrumentation. The book incorporates many worked examples, along with a range of experiments to help students use simple and more complex apparatus to make reliable noise measurements. Additionally, this edition places increased emphasis on the legal issues relating to noise control--Publisher's blurb.
