This handbook gives basic and comprehensive information on the understanding, measurement, and control of noise in industrial environments. It is intended for engineers with or without acoustical experience; to this end, it presents sections on noise problem analysis, instrumentation, and fundamental methods of noise control, and properties of acoustical materials.Noise is commonly described as unwanted sound. This definition implies a strong subjective element in any assessment of the effects of noise, since what may be tolerated by one person may be intolerable to another. Although noise is by no means a recent phenomenon, it is only with the rapid industrialization of the last century and the concomitant accelerated development of powerful high-speed machinery that it has become a pollutant of major concern. The effects of noise exposure on humans range from disturbance or annoyance to temporary or even irreversible deafness.

Continuing the well-established legacy of the first edition, Industrial Noise Control, Second Edition examines the fundamental principles of noise and vibration control, maintaining the concise format and clarity of presentation that made its predecessor so popular. The authors illustrate solutions to real problems, identify and characterize major sources of industrial noise, and provide systematic design and engineering approaches to control. They supply useful acoustical performance charts, case histories, and tables of materials and supplies. Along with computer-aided calculations and digital instrumentation, the book shows how to plan for compliance with OSHA, DEP and EPA standards.
