Siano D. (ed.) Noise Control, Reduction and Cancellation Solutions in Engineering

InTech, 2012. — 308 p.Noise Control is one of the most important subjects in acoustic engineering and one of the prevalent health hazards in the industry, and in the city.
A comprehensive overview, application of principles, and concept of noise control, in a wide variety of fields, is found in this book. The authors provide a range of practical applications of current noise control strategies and technologies offering to the reader their research in this field with concrete examples and results of actual experiments. Literature widely quoted in this book is full of examples of more advanced applications. Additionally, the literature is more fully developed.
The main purpose is to provide technical information on how noise can be controlled easily in respect of passive control. There is an extensive treatment of important problems, such as sound in enclosures, methods for noise reduction, hearing, speech intelligibility, and psycho acoustic criteria for comfort, for satisfactory speech intelligibility, and for pleasant listening conditions.
This book can be intended as a reference source for researchers, engineers, and acoustic specialists that want to develop a practical approach to controlling noise occurring in different fields.Background of Active Noise Control
