Course Aim
After the course the student should have acquired the capabilities necessary to:
• Choose appropriate measurement and analysis methods to evaluate the risk and disturbance that the noise and/or vibration causes (according to legislation)
• Analyse sound and vibration signals to produce basic data for decision-making of suitable measures to reduce the disturbance
• Calculate appropriate measures to reduce noise and vibration and calculate the effect of the measures

Contents
• Fundamental acoustics
• Legislation (sound and vibration)
• Measurement techniques
• Hearing
• Structural acoustics
• Room and building acoustics
