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\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203680264343,"sku":"9780471285847","price":15328.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780471285847.webp?v=1767308233","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-environmental-acoustics-9780471285847","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
