This acoustics handbook for mechanical and architectural applications is a translation of the German standard work on the subject. It not only describes the state of art of engineering acoustics but also gives practical help to engineers for solving acoustic problems. It deals with the origin, the transmission and the methods of abatement of air-borne and structure-borne sound of different kinds, from traffic to machinery and flow induced sound.

From the reviews:

"Topics are presented with a balance of theory and applications whenever feasible, and illustrations and graphs are of great assistance to the reader. ... reading the Handbook of Engineering Acoustics was akin to listening a great orchestral performance in a fine hall. Maestros Müller and Möser did assemble a cast of expert performers and have created a work of reference that is bound to become a standard for others to meet." (Dominique J. Chéenne, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 61 (3), May-June, 2013)

The only real acoustics handbook for mechanical and architectural applications, this is a translation of the German standard work on the subject, written by an academic and an industrial practitioner. The book not only describes the state of art of engineering acoustics but also gives practical help to engineers for solving acoustic problems. It deals with the origin, the transmission and the methods of abatement of air-borne and structure-borne sound of different kinds from traffic to machinery and flow induced sound.
