Course Objective

The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamental principles, methods, and applications of sound noise and control. Students will gain knowledge about various noise sources, mechanisms of noise propagation, noise measurement techniques, and noise control strategies. They will be able to apply this knowledge to practical applications.



Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Students will be able to define the concept of noise, identify different noise sources, and understand the effects of noise on human health and the environment.
2   Students will learn how to use noise measurement devices, measure noise levels and frequencies, and analyze the obtained data.
3   Students will learn passive and active noise control methods, select appropriate strategies to reduce or control noise, and implement them.
4   Students will understand the importance of noise control in industrial environments and will be able to analyze and evaluate noise control techniques used in different sectors.

Recomended or Required Reading

1. "Noise Control Engineering: Principles and Applications" by David A. Bies, Colin H. Hansen
This book comprehensively covers the fundamental principles and applications of noise control engineering. It provides detailed explanations of topics such as noise control strategies, passive and active control methods, noise propagation mechanisms, and industrial applications. It stands out as a valuable resource for both students and professionals.

2. "Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration Analysis for Engineers" by M. P. Norton
Designed to teach engineering students the basic concepts and methods of noise and vibration analysis, this book offers an explanatory approach to understanding topics such as the physical principles of noise and vibration, analytical and experimental analysis techniques, industrial applications, and analysis strategies.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. Lecture Sessions: Traditional lecture sessions with slides and videos are conducted to explain fundamental concepts and principles. This includes theoretical explanations of topics such as noise, its sources, propagation, effects, and control strategies.

2. Laboratory Work: Laboratory sessions with noise measurement devices provide students with the opportunity to learn noise measurement techniques hands-on. Students analyze different noise sources and evaluate the results by experimenting with various noise control strategies.

3. Case Studies: Case studies containing real-world examples and industrial applications help students understand how to apply noise control strategies in real-life situations.
