Building Acoustics and Noise Control Engineering

By Naveen Garg and Chitra Gautam

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of building acoustics, covering essential topics such as design considerations, empirical formulations, measurement methodologies, and uncertainty quantifications. It features a detailed database of acoustical materials tested in Reverberation Chambers and Sound Impedance Tubes, providing insights into their key characteristics. The book delves into an in-depth analysis of factors influencing sound insulation and absorption properties, offering valuable guidance for practical applications. Additionally, it provides a retrospective examination of the National Building Codes of India and other countries, alongside sound insulation requirements.

Key highlights include:

Comprehensive coverage of building acoustics measurements, analysis, and design principles Introduction to uncertainty analysis in building acoustics measurements Application of optimization techniques in acoustics Review of material characterization methods and uncertainty quantifications Inclusion of an extensive database of acoustic materials

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in acoustics, mechanical engineering, building science, and noise control.
