5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent conveyance of basic noise control techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simplified Design for Building Sound Control (Hardcover)
The authors show a clear understanding of noise and vibration
control and are able to convey this information in a manner
that is easily understood by the novice, while at the same time
not being so simple as to bore the those seeking a refresher course
or just wanting to get other opinions. The section on case studies
was especially helpful to provide real life scenarios for reference.
The illustrations are also very good.
