Original language description

Chapter 2 of this book is summarizing noise and health issues, listing auditive and non-auditive effects of noise on one hand and short-therm and long-therm effects of noise on the other hand. Chapter 2 also contains a short history of building and room acoustics in Europe. Chapter 3 contains the theory, necessary to understand the following chapters. It defines variables such as acoustic pressure, acoustic impedance, sound pressure level, frequency spectrum as well as different types of sound sources and sound receivers from microphones, through binaural human hearing, up to acoustic camera systems. Chapter 4 brings to the reader the theory of sound wave propagation in a free field situation. It shows the concept of noise control and protection of the living environment by suitable urban planning and noise barrier design. Chapters 5 and 6 are the most important for architects and building engineers. By explaining the principles of airborne and impact sound insulation, theory of sound insulation is given in the chapter 5 (building acoustics). The reader will not only learn how to measure and simulate sound insulation but he or she will also get acquainted with some design rules. E.g. id is shown why it is not possible to reach acoustic comfort just by adding "insulation layer" into a construction (similar to thermal insulation material) when increasing the energy efficiency of building. Chapter 5 is also bringing knowledge gained in the EU project MSCA-RISE-2015 "PapaBuild", in therms of optical method usage in determination of sound transmission of walls. The final chapter 6 aims at uncovering the potential of room acoustics in architectural design. Nowadays acoustic design technology, in particular simulation tools and their usage in building design, are reviewed. The chapter explains how to design classrooms, open space offices, sports facilities or rooms for music performance.
