Book excerpt: Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. More people are spending more time at home making more noise--yet they want quiet environments. This is the only book available that tells designers, planners, architects, and builders how to give homeowners and apartment-dwellers the quiet they crave. Simple enough to be used by the average do-it-yourselfer (it avoids complex mathematics), yet so complete it will satisfy the requirements of knowledgeable building professionals, this authoritative guide gives you one-stop answers on designing, specifying, testing, and retrofitting residences to meet the new environmental standards and satisfy our need for peace and quiet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of principles, materials, and technologies Architectural Acoustics provides the vital information that architects, engineers, and all concerned with the built environment need to control and direct wanted or unwanted sounds within and around buildings. A team of internationally recognized experts presents the very latest information on acoustical materials, technologies, design criteria, and methods for a wide variety of applications, including airports and other transportation facilities; theaters, churches, and concert halls; classrooms, lecture halls, and libraries; music practice rooms and recording studios; sports venues; and all types of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. This comprehensive reference is one of the few books of its kind to include richly detailed case studies that demonstrate real-world applications of acoustic principles, materials, and methods. Nearly two hundred photos and illustrations further elucidate specific principles, applications, and techniques. Topics covered include: * Basic principles of architectural acoustics * Acoustical materials and methods * Building noise control applications

Book excerpt: Acoustics and Noise Control provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control. Since the last edition was published in 1996 there have been many changes and additions to standards, laws and regulations, codes of practice relating to noise, and in noise measurement techniques and noise control technology so this new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and requires only a basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. There are worked examples in the text to aid understanding and a range of experiments help students use complicated apparatus. Thoroughly revised to cover the latest changes in standards, codes of practice and legislation, this new edition covers much of the Institute of Acoustics Diploma syllabus and has an increased emphasis on the legal issues relating to noise control.

Book excerpt: Controlling noise in buildings is an important part of an architect's and engineer's responsibility. This book provides practical guidelines on avoiding noise problems during the design and construction of new buildings, and eliminating noise in existing structures. Leading experts in noise control cover such topics as properties of sound absorptive materials, acoustical characteristics of rooms, airborne sound insulation, and structure-borne sound insulation. Included are proven methods - and technical data - for dealing with noise, HVAC systems, plumbing systems, and machinery, plus information on the design of buildings for noise control. Now available to a new generation, this classic is a must-have for architects, interior designers, engineers, and all others concerned with the design and construction of buildings who need to know the basics of architectural acoustics, but who don't have the time to digest wordy presentations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because environmental acoustics has a complex mathematical basis,it is often difficult to determine whether acousticalrecommendations are valid. 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: * Common noise sources--including the risk of exposure to commondaily environmental noise sources * Current noise regulations, guidelines, andstandards--illustrating all key points * Acoustic terminology and environmental noisedescriptors--providing a foundation for understanding noiseissues * Effects of noise on people and animals--emphasizing theimportance of restricting noise exposure * Relevant noise rating methods--clarifiying the use of noisemetrics * Construction and building code requirements--explaining currentrequirements and featuring tips on how to avoid privacyproblems * Measurement considerations--demonstrating standard methods andoffering practical advice on how to ensure proper measurementprocedures * Noise control designs--detailing source-path-receiver systems andnoise control fundamentals 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.
