Acoustical Modeling in Architectural Acoustics [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1965 It is imperative to investigate the acoustical properties of roms with the aid of models prior to construction. Two sound sources have been developed to facilitate these investigations. An air jet utilizing four intersection jets provides a nondirectional random noise, over a frequency range of 2400 cps to over 100 kcps for the study of the steady ...

Education in architectural acoustics [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975 From everyday contact with the architectural profession, we see clearly that few practicing architects really understand enough about acoustics to apply it effectively in architectural and urban design. This shortcoming can be attributed largely to the lack of acoustics training in architecture schools.
