Aircraft Noise: Assessment, Prediction and Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138073029)

Aircraft noise has adverse impacts on passengers, airport staff, and people living near airports. Reducing perceived noise of aircraft involves reduction of noise at the source, along the propagation path, and at the receiver. This volume demonstrates how accurate and reliable information about aircraft noise levels can be gained by calculations using appropriate generation and propagation models, and by measurements with effective monitoring systems. It details necessary measurement techniques and explains how to allow for atmospheric conditions and natural and artificial topography.
