Good Book on Noise but insufficient formulas
This book in industrial noise control has many useful information for beginners who want to learn about industrial noise but it does not have sufficient formulas on some important issues like estimating regenerated noise in ducts, pressure loss in air ducts and acoustic materials specs. I am expecting from a book like this for example to provide some information how noise is attenuated in lined ducts with respect to frequency, duct length and lining details. ... Read more

Product Description
A revision and expansion of an established reference covering the solution of noise problems in industrial, business, residential and community environments. The Handbook's scope has been significantly increased to include acoustical measurements. It covers practical information on how noise is produced, how it is measured, how it affects people and how it can be controlled. Formerly entitled "Handbook of noise control", this third edition now includes important material on acoustical measurement, offers practical solutions to more troublesome environmental problems in daily noise, and incorporates both SI units and US customary units. ...

Product Description
This International Standard describes the determination of the acoustical quantities, especially the type and locations of sound pressure level measurements to be conducted, the time sampling and frequency analysis required and the special characteristics of the noise to be considered. The purpose is to allow an assessment of the noise in the working environment with respect to its various effects on the worker as a result of daily habitual exposure. This International Standard is intended to be used by appropriate authorities responsible for specifying and monitoring compliance with noise limits at the workplace and for deciding on the need for hearing conservation programmes and noise reduction measures. It does not by itself specify or recommend acceptable noise limits. The standard does not specify statistical sampling procedures to characterize the noise exposure of groups, although references to such procedures are included in the bibliography. The applications of the measurement results are described with respect to the effects of noise on hearing, interference with communication and other effects of noise. Special requirements for the description of infrasound and ultrasound exposure are included. Applications of the Standard to evaluate effects of the noise on health, working efficiency, well-being and the audibility of warning signals are summarized in Annex A. Annex B gives examples of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level calculations. Annex C discusses calculation of the rating level including tone and impulsive adjustment. Annex D specifies classes of accuracy for noise measurements. All the annexes are informative. ... Read more

Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A982724. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis examines the performance of the waveforms specified by the IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network standard when the signal is transmitted over a Ricean fading channel with AWGN and pulsed noise interference. The pulsed interference is assumed to have constant average power and is either fading or nonfading. The probability of bit error is conditional on the received signal to noise power ratio, which is modeled as a random variable. The probability density function of this random variable is obtained either analytically or numerically for each modulation type, and the probability of bit error is evaluated as the expected value of the conditional probability. In one case, use is made of a new technique for the numerical inverse of the Laplace transform in order to evaluate numerically the signal to noise ratio probability density function. Due to the complexity of the analysis when both the signal and the interference are subject to Ricean fading, the analysis was simplified by assuming Ricean signal fading with Rayleigh interference fading and vice versa. The results of the analysis show that performance is affected by the degree of signal fading and also depends on the pulsed interference duty cycle. The signal to interference power ratio affects the way performance depends on these two factors. ... Read more
