Noise Control Management

Noise Control Management presents a system-wide management approach to the many noise-related problems that plague industrial settings. Students learn how to define noise problems and determine the feasibility of mitigating them. The text shows how to identify noise sources and set up priorities for dealing with the problems these sources create. Coverage includes a full range of noise control devices, from quiet equipment to barriers, enclosures, silencers, and other devices. Preface.
