Features: Noise pollution, water pollution, and air pollution are considered the three major pollutions in the world today. Controlling pollution to create a beautiful working, living, and resting environment for people is an urgent task for environmental protection workers. With the rapid development of industry, agriculture, and transportation, noise pollution has become increasingly severe. Its harm to people's physical and mental health is increasingly recognized and concerns, making noise control a pressing issue. To control noise to an acceptable level for people, it is necessary to understand the allowable noise standards and how to evaluate noise. To effectively control noise under current technical and economic conditions, it is essential to first test the noise to understand its characteristics, then determine noise reduction measures based on noise reduction principles. Only in this way can noise be reduced both economically and effectively to meet national standards. Therefore, this book was written to enable students in environmental engineering to skillfully engage in the management and control of environmental noise. Of course, in terms of content, it can also serve as a reference for engineering technicians in architectural design, urban planning, and related fields.
