Course Objective

Noise pollution has an interesting place among other pollution effects, as it is one of the most disturbing but most ignored one at the same time. The effects of noise pollution are not as striking as the others; they are cumulative and/or indirect, therefore not easily dedicated and this fact causes insufficiencies in noise abatement. Such difficulties in noise control make the building components more important to obtain places, which have acoustical comfort conditions.
In this context, the aim course is to define the terms sound and noise and to emphasize the importance of noise control and sound insulation. In addition its aimed to define noise control policies and solutions within the open and enclosed environment by considering national and international regulations.
