The course intends to give an in-depth knowledge about structure- borne sound and its control. The course focuses on the prediction and control of sound propagation in structures and the radiation of sound from structures. The course is recommended for those students who intend to focus on noise control engineering. It is highly advised that students continue with Technical acoustics 2, where the subjects of Technical acoustics 1 are practiced on a real-life example.
