Course Description
The Noise and Vibration Control course will introduce the basic principles and terminology of acoustics and noise control engineering in buildings. Students will learn about sound pressure levels, sound power levels, sound intensity levels, vibration levels, frequency, temporal variations, loudness, vibration transmissibility and vibration isolation. Noise Criteria (NC) and Room Criteria (RC) curves and how they are used in acoustical engineering projects will be presented along with Speech Interference Levels (SIL), Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) and room constants along with how the principles of sound Transmission Loss (TL), Noise Reduction (NR) and Sound Transmission Class (STC) are used in project design. By the end of this course, the students will be able to apply basic acoustical engineering principles to a variety of projects.
