I have spent a number of years in the acoustics field and this book is the bible of industrial acoustics. Having said that, this is not the "easiest" book to read and understand. It is aimed for those pursuing advanced studies in acoustics and acoustic control, with the assumption the reader has

โฆ Synopsis
The emphasis of this edition is purely on passive means of noise control and the chapter on active noise control that appeared in the second and third editions has been replaced with a chapter on practical numerical acoustics, where it is shown how free, open source software can be used to solve some difficult acoustics problems, which are too complex for theoretical analysis. The removal of Chapter 12 on active noise control is partly due to lack of space and partly because a more comprehensive and a more useful treatment is available in the book.
