Handbook of Environmental Acousticssimplifies this decision-making process and provides easy-to-followexplanations of acoustic terminology, noise control design, andregulatory noise issues. The book clarifies key aspects ofenvironmental noise in basic language, covering:\u003cbr\u003e * Common noise sources--including the risk of exposure to commondaily environmental noise sources\u003cbr\u003e * Current noise regulations, guidelines, andstandards--illustrating all key points\u003cbr\u003e * Acoustic terminology and environmental noisedescriptors--providing a foundation for understanding noiseissues\u003cbr\u003e * Effects of noise on people and animals--emphasizing theimportance of restricting noise exposure\u003cbr\u003e * Relevant noise rating methods--clarifiying the use of noisemetrics\u003cbr\u003e * Construction and building code requirements--explaining currentrequirements and featuring tips on how to avoid privacyproblems\u003cbr\u003e * Measurement considerations--demonstrating standard methods andoffering practical advice on how to ensure proper measurementprocedures\u003cbr\u003e * Noise control designs--detailing source-path-receiver systems andnoise control fundamentals\u003cbr\u003e In addition to traditional noise control methods, new areas, suchas active noise control, sound intensity measurement, and diffusivedesigns, are explained. A sample municipal noise ordinance helpsthe user to draft an ordinance tailored to the needs of aparticular community. Avoiding complex mathematics and analyses,Handbook of Environmental Acoustics is a user-friendly manual forurban planners, municipal officials, engineers, attorneys,industrial hygienists, architects, environmental professionals, andstudents in these fields.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcoustic Terminology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Noise Descriptors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Noise Measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Noise Control Terminology and Design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Noise Regulations, Guidelines, and Ordinances.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Common Noise Sources.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Construction Issues.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Civil%20engineering,%20surveying%20\u0026amp;%20building%20%5BTN%5D%22\"\u003eTN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52286393483544,"sku":"9780471285847","price":132.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471285847.jpg?v=1781551234","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/handbook-of-environmental-acoustics-hardback-9780471285847","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
