Building Acoustics and Noise Control Engineering

By Naveen Garg and Chitra Gautam

This book explains all aspects of building acoustics including the design considerations, empirical formulations, measurement methodology and uncertainty quantifications. It presents a database of the acoustical materials tested in the reverberation chambers and sound impedance tube to understand the pertinent characteristics. It includes an in-depth analysis of factors affecting the sound insulation and absorption characteristics. A retrospective view of the National Building Codes of India and other countries and sound insulation requirements is also included.

Features:

Provides complete details on building acoustics measurements, analysis, and design considerations Introduces uncertainty analysis in building acoustics measurements Explores the application of optimization methods in acoustics Reviews methods for evaluation of sound insulation and sound absorption characteristics of acoustical materials and uncertainty analysis Includes acoustic material database

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