| Summary |
"This reference/text discusses useful procedures in the design of industrial noise abatement systems and equipment to reduce the generation and transmission of noise and comply with standards of OSHA, the EPA, and HUD - describing the production, control, conduction, reception, and effect of sound in the operation of industrial plants and machinery, electrical generating systems, commercial complexes, and household appliances to determine the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of noise control procedures and evaluate the performance of specific acoustic designs."--BOOK JACKET |
