No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 to 1973–74 used the number for Acoustics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Basic acoustics. Legal aspects. Physiology of the ear. Signal analysis. Instruments and techniques. Noise reduction techniques, absorption, damping and barrier. Wave transmission and impedance. Handling industrial plant noise problems. Designing for minimum noise in engineering systems.
As printed in the 1975–76 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
