Published by Blue Tree Acoustics, this handy book is recommended reading for those pursuing professional qualifications in the field, providing an accessible guide to acoustics for specialists and non-specialists, including EHOs, legal professionals, town planners, and technicians.
This edition of the textbook proposes a method for objective BS4142 representative background sound level selection (the LRB Method). It also covers concepts such as basic acoustics, parameters, descriptors, propagation, and transmission, with examples of calculations and tables. Each section is broken down into manageable chunks of information, indexed for ease of use. The book also includes an updated ‘standards and regulations’ section, which encapsulates the current standards and regulations now in force in the UK relating to acoustics and noise issues.
Expanded to additionally contain calculation tables as in the original edition, the 4th edition now counts 402 pages, but still retains its compact size and ringbound format for user-friendliness both out onsite and in the office.
The book is distributed and sold exclusively by the family bookshop Read.Holmfirth
