The main objectives of acoustics study in buildings are noise control and improving the quality of sound in offices, schools, theatres, restaurants, and homes. Understanding how to design buildings to achieve those objectives is essential for smooth operation, comfort, well-being and most of all increased productivity. Acoustics study includes internal (mechanical) and external (traffic) noise control. Whether you were an architect designing a building, an engineer designing a building material or a construction professional, understanding acoustics is essential to you.
