Acoustics

Noise control and encouraged aural communications in building spaces are both part of acoustics. The basic physics of sound are simple to understand, but the interaction of sound pressure waves with complex shapes and multi-layer assemblies with openings is more challenging. Noise control is becoming increasingly important in a world in which more high density housing, closer offices spaces, and busier streets and airports are more and more the norm rather than the exception.
