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