Control of Environmental Noise [PDF]
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,

Approaches to teaching in environmental noise science [PDF]
This paper focuses on two key questions: (i) how universal are approaches to teaching and training in the area of science and practice of environmental noise management, and (ii) is it possible, practical or desirable to transfer training programmes from
