Aircraft Noise Propagation
by Attenborough Tokarev Et (9780415240666)

Aircraft noise has adverse impacts on passengers, airport staff and people living near airports, and is a factor which limits the capacity of regional and international airports throughout the world. The long-term goal of reducing the perceived noise by 8-10dB within the next ten years without affecting safety requires increasingly vigorous national and international noise regulation, considerable research into aircraft acoustics and noise control, and the introduction of new low-noise operational procedures. Success requires reduction of noise at source, along the propagation path and at the receiver. It depends on accurate and reliable information about aircraft noise levels, which can be gained by calculations using appropriate generation and propagation models, or by measurements with effective monitoring systems. Atmospheric conditions, natural and artificial topography need to be understood, as do measurement techniques. Effective noise control demands highly skilled and knowledgeable engineers. This book is for them.
