Control of Environmental Noise [PDF]

Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1973
The article reviews the current state of knowledge of noise and how people respond to noise. Sources of community noise are discussed and existing federal legislation pertaining to noise is mentioned. Methods of reducing the noise impact on communities from aircraft, surface transportation, and industrial sites are presented. Interior noise in industry,

Noise expresses exponential growth under regime switching [PDF]

, 2009
Consider a given system under regime switching whose solution grows at most polynomially, and suppose that the system is subject to environmental noise in some regimes. Can the regime switching and the environmental noise work together to make the system
