An Excellent Primer for Anyone Interested in Noise
This book is both engaging and informative. Written for non-engineers, this book is an excellent resource for a wide range of interested parties, regardless of their educational background. Consultants, citizen activists,municipal planners, and concerned enforcement personnel can all profit fromthis non-technical, non-mathematical treatise on all aspects of communitynoise. Mr. Cowan has taken an exceptionallycomplex discipline, and givenan overview that can round out almost anyone's understanding of the field,and it's filled with plenty of genuinely interesting facts. Herewithis a list of the chapter titles: Acoustic Terminology; Noise Descriptors;Noise Measurement; Noise Control Terminology and Design; Noise Regulations,Guidelines, and Ordinances; Common Noise Sources; and Construction Issues.Included is a well-written and well-reasoned Model Municipal NoiseOrdinance. Even the chapter titles don't do justice to all that'scovered in the Handbook. In the Acoustic Terminology chapter, there's aconcise section on the Hearing Mechanism, and the mechanics of hearingloss. He weaves in fascinating facts such as: the middle ear ossicles notonly carry the acoustic signal to the inner ear, but actually amplify thesignal more than 20 times between the eardrum and the oval window. You mayconsider yourself an expert in some area relating to noise, but it's almosta certainty that you'll learn a number of new things from this book.This book could be a tremendous tool for the motivated complainant who isfaced with a noise source that is exempted from the local noise ordinance.If they want to approach the problem politically, in meetings, this willprovide a crash education that can mold them into a knowledgeable advocatein a very short time. Put some power in your hands, as, after all,knowledge is powerRead more

Useful Resource
This book is an excellent starting place for those interested in improving the sound quality of their listening room.The fundmentals of sound are presented in the context of a typical home listening room or small studio.Methods to control resonance, isolate exterior noise sources and to diffuse and trap source music sound are discussed, with examples of the construstion of devices within the capability of many moderately skilled homeowners.I have successfully applied a few of these ideas into my home listening room. ...
