NCEJ is the pre-eminent academic journal of noise control. It is the International Journal of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA.

NCEJ reaches noise control professionals around the world, covering over 50 national noise control societies and institutes.

INCE-USA encourages you to submit your next paper to NCEJ. Choosing NCEJ:

  • Provides the opportunity to reach a global audience of NCE professionals, academics, and students;
  • Enhances the prestige of your work;
  • Validates your work by formal peer review.

Submissions to NCEJ receive thorough review by NCE peers. Final acceptance of any submission is solely based on the outcome of the anonymous peer review process.

Case Studies

As well as Technical Papers, NCEJ accepts Case Studies. Unlike Technical Papers, Case Studies are focused on providing reference-level information for practicing noise control engineers. A Case Study must adhere to the same format and organizational requirements of a Technical Paper as outlined in the NCEJ MS Word Template for Paper Submissions. It must be written clearly and provide a well-organized discussion of a noise control application with strong technical content describing what was done and the effectiveness of the controls.

Acceptable Paper Topics for NCEJ

Acceptable paper topics include submissions related to airborne and structurally transmitted noise. This does not include electric circuit or electromagnetic radiation noise. There is a vast range of topics covered under this umbrella. While it is impossible to provide a comprehensive list, a short summary is provided below.

  • Emission: noise sources
  • Physical phenomena related to noise generation and propagation
  • Noise control elements -- including but not limited to: barriers, enclosures, isolation, silences, absorptive materials, hearing protection, and many more elements
  • Vibration and shock generation, transmission, isolation, and reduction
  • Immission -- physical aspects of environmental noise
  • Immission -- effects of noise: perception, physiological effects, psychological effects, sociological effects, and others
  • Analysis -- instrumentation, tests, test facilities, signal processing, analytical methods, modeling, audiometry, and psychoacoustical evaluations
  • Requirements -- standards, regulations, ordinances, etc.
  • Tutorials on good noise and vibration practice with documentation.

For a more detailed listing, see the INCE Classification of Subjects.

NCEJ Policy on the use of Artifical Intelligence tools

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in preparing a paper for submission to NCEJ is not prohibited. However, such usage should be limited to support for the authors and not for critical analysis, technical expertise, the evaluation of results, or the development of conclusions from the work performed.

Submit to NCEJ

To submit your Technical Paper or Case Study, please go to our online submission site:
