The aims of the module are:
? To introduce basic concepts of acoustics to students
? To give an overview of environmental noise (sound propagation outdoors)
? To provide an understanding of the theories used in building acoustics (including room acoustics, sound insulation, duct-borne noise and vibration isolation)
? To make students familiar with the application of the above theories for noise control solutions |
