Noise Control in Buildings

The Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA (INCE/USA) is grateful to Professor Cyril M. Harris, Member of INCE, Board Certified, for permission to reprint his text Noise Control in Buildings. The book was originally published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company in 1994, and has been out of print for several years. A short review of the book was published in Noise/News International.

Noise Control in Buildings features contributions by leading authorities on noise control, and contains a very complete set of data on the properties of acoustical materials and on the sound insulation of walls and floor/ceiling constructions. This wealth of technical information provides an invaluable resource for the professional as well as the non- professional. Noise Control in Buildings provides you with complete information on:

• The properties and selection of acoustical materials
• The design of select wall and floor/ceiling constructions
• Airborne sound insulation
• Control of noise communicated by building structures
• Acoustical characteristics of rooms

Also included are effective methods for dealing with noise problems in HVAC systems, plumbing systems, and machinery - plus innovations in techniques for the design of buildings with low noise levels.
