Noise Control

3 Credits.

A continuation of Architectural Acoustics (550 • 624) Topics will include: perceptual aspects of noise control; sound power, noise control criteria and standards; hearing loss prevention; environmental acoustics; airborne sound isolation (transmission loss theory, walls, floors, doors, and windows) structure-borne sound insulation (impact insulation theory and floors); vibration isolation (vibration isolators and design); heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) noise control; and noise control applications in buildings. Prerequisites: Architectural Acoustics, or permission of instructor.
