First sentence: The recognition of noise as a source of annoyance began in antiquity, but the relationship, sometimes subtle, that may exist between noise and money seems to be a development of more recent times.
Description: Now thoroughly updated and revised, this second edition of Engineering Noise Control covers significant recent developments and advances. The material includes work which is not available elsewhere and is a practical tool for consultants working in the area of noise abatement and control. At the same time, its extensive selection of problems and worked examples make it an ideal textbook for those studying acoustics and noise control as part of their course work.

The authors offer a comprehensive discussion of the theoretical principles and concepts of noise control, and provide a range of practical applications of current noise control technology. The book provides a sound base to understanding and solving real-life problems. It contains a large bibliography and comprehensive glossaries to make the information easily accessible.
