INTRODUCTION
The Noise Pollution and Abatement Act of 1970, Title IV, Section 402 of
Public Law 91-604 directed EPA to undertake a full and complete investiga-
tion and study of noise and its effect on the public health and welfare and to
report thereon to the President and the Congress. This technical report has
been prepared by the Office of Noise Abatement and Control of the Environ-
mental Protection Agency as a supporting document to the required report.
This document provides information pertaining to noise programs being
sponsored or carried out, either directly or indirectly, by professional, in-
dustrial, and voluntary associations (societies) and provides information on
private industry research and educational and research programs. Also
provided is a bibliography of pertinent publications relating to noise. The
information contained in this report is based upon that requested and received
from the Scientific Information Exchange of the Smithsonian Institute and the
Acoustical Society of America and that obtained by the Office of Noise Abate-
ment and Control from professional organizations.
Section 1 of this report discusses the noise programs of industrial, pro-
fessional, and voluntary associations (societies) and the research activities
conducted by these organizations and private industry. Appendix A shows the
many professional and industrial organizations, and Appendix B showing the
standards currently recommended by the American National Standards In-
stitute relative to acoustics and noise, is also provided as an example of the
extensive voluntary standard effort regarding this problem (N. B. Similar
"standard" activity is in existence in the Society of Automotive Engineers,
the Acoustical Society of America, and other organizations).

Section 2 describes the current status of academic training and research
programs in noise control at the graduate level. Appropriate Appendixes C and
D are provided to show in some detail the program activities of the colleges
and universities.
Section 3 provides a brief description of the types of publications avail-
able on noise and related areas for the general and professional audiences.
Appendixes E and F provide bibliographies of periodical publications and books
relevant to noise and its control.
SUMMARY
The contributions and impact of the media described in this report has
been significant. Professional/industrial associations have contributed sig-
nificantly to proposed testing procedures and the development of criteria and
standards for noise control. Universities and colleges are increasing their
training emphasis in noise oriented programs and contribute significantly
•with basic and applied research programs in several areas of noise and
acoustics. No less significant has been the contribution of various scientific
and nontechnical publications to the public understanding of noise.
-------
SECTION 1
INDUSTRIAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS
The importance of the effects of noise and its abatement and control is re-
flected by the concerted efforts of many industrial, professional, and volun-
tary associations throughout the country. Their activities in research and
development programs for the control of noise, hearing conservation for the
protection and well-being of personnel, and especially the voluntary initiative
of several professional and industrial organizations in establishing criteria
and standards reflects not only a national awareness of a significant problem
but a willingness and ability to resolve it» The efforts of these organizations,
because they were generated within their membership, shows the absence of
governmental influences. Further, their efforts have not been a reflexive or
reactionary response to overtures and public dissatisfactions to noise prob-
lems that have projected in recent years. Instead , the efforts of many of the
organizations reflect active engagement during the past 15 to 20 years.
NONRESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Interest in noise and noise related problems is demonstrated by over 100
professional/ industrial organizations. Appendix A provides a listing of these
groups. Some of these organizations have a direct interest, while the in-
terest of others may be tangential. The Acoustical Society of American (ASA)
is, perhaps, one of the larger professional societies directly engaged in a.
broad spectrum of noise and acoustic problems. ASA is currently develop-
ing a program for its Coordinating Committee on Environmental Acoustics,
which will establish means for defining environmental problems, in societal
-------
and technical terms, and for disseminating information for the evaluation and
solution of the problems to the problem-solving community. The Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers (ASME) have directed efforts over the years to preparing suggested
standards for the safety and protection of the public. The Department of
Labor has adopted for its use certain of the proposed standards recommended
by ASME. SAE publishes material in the form of information reports and
recommended practices, which are developed by such SAE committees as
the Vehicle Sound Level Committee and Aircraft Noise Measurement and
Aerospace Equipment Division Committee. Examples of published documents
by these committees include, Exterior Sound Level for Snowmobiles, Ex-
terior Loudness Evaluation of Heavy Trucks and Buses, Sound Levels for
Engine Powered Equipment, Methods of Comparing Aircraft Takeoff and
Approach Noises, Jet Noise Prediction, and Measurements of Aircraft Ex-
terior Noise in the Field. There are approximately 20 documents published
by SAE for the benefit of others working in the areas of noise and acoustics.
Since 1947, hearing conservation has received the primary emphasis from
the Subcommittee on Noise in Industry of the American Academy of Ophthal-
mology and Otolaryngology. This group has prepared and distributed guides
and manuals and has participated in symposia concerned with industrial hear-
ing loss. Industrial hygiene organizations are involved to a substantial de-
gree in noise related problems. The American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists actively concerns itself with noise in the industrial en-
vironment through the Physical Agents Committee, which is composed of 9 to
12 members. The work of this committee contributed to the development of
the standards in the Walsh-Healey Act. The American Industrial Hygiene '
Association directs concerted efforts toward the problem of industrial hearing
loss through an interindustry noise subcommittee. Presently, this com-
mittee is revising the Industrial Noise Manual published by the parent asso-
ciation.
-------
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the national organ-
ization that represents industry, the consumer, and the government to meet
demands for voluntary national standards. Through its committees on acous-
tics, bioacoustics, and shock and vibration, ANSI coordinates the work of
standards development in the private sector in the area of noise. ANSI has
published approximately 40 standards in acoustics and vibration related to
noise problems. In addition to developing new standards, these committees,
which have between 30 and 40 members, continue to review and revise exist-
ing standards as required. Appendix B provides relevant standards rec-
ommended by ANSI.
Testing procedures, certification, and rating of various noise producing
products are included in the efforts of professional and industrial organiza-
tions. For example, the Engine Manufacturers Association has been de-
veloping, through its noise standards committee, test procedures for use in
noise measurement and abatement of noise emissions from engines. Sim-
ilarly, the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute has developed a sound
certification program and sound rating procedures for outdoor air conditioning
units. Another organization, the American Society for Testing and Materials,
has proposed a standard method for testing sound absorption and acoustical
materials in reverberation rooms. Test procedures for tractors, in -which
noise measurement information at the operator's ear is obtained, have been
recommended by an agricultural tractor test code approved by the American
Society of Agricultural Engineers and SAE.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Private industries and institutes, professional organizations, and citizens
groups are continually and actively engaged in research activities. Their
noise research activity as in the case of the universities, is supported largely
by Federal agencies. Some of the noise problems being investigated by these
-------
groups include: construction operations, building equipment and home appli-
ances; transportation noise, high intensity noise environments, establish-
ment of international standards, industrial plant noise, and effects of noise
on the quality of human life. Table 1-1 shows the various research efforts
being conducted by these organizations. Considerable effort is directed
toward aircraft and ground transportation noise problems.
VOLUNTARY ANTINOISE ORGANIZATIONS
The environmental impact of noise is exemplified by the concerted ef-
forts and interest generated by voluntary antinoise organizations. Such or-
ganizations as Citizens Against Noise exert their influence on various levels
of government to control and abate noise in our communities. A list of some
of these groups is provided at the end of Appendix A.
SUMMARY OF INDUSTRIAL, PROFESSIONAL AND VOLUNTARY EFFORTS
A significant impact and contribution is being made toward the control
and abatement of noise by the various professional and industrial organiza-
tions. These groups, in many instances, develop through their various com-
mittes proposed methods of testing and evaluating noise problems and, in
addition, have developed criteria and standards for the control of environ-
mental noise. Their efforts are a major source of the present awareness
and understanding of the overall noise problem. Research by private in-
dustry is continually contributing to the basic understanding and applied
technology of noise abatement and control.

SECTION 2
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
TRAINING ACTIVITY
A survey of graduate education in acoustics was recently completed by
the Acoustical Society of America (ASA). In over 90 institutions of higher
learning, courses are being offered in different areas of acoustics, includ-
ing noise and noise control. Course offerings related to noise and noise
control are primarily offered through the departments of mechanical engi-
neering, and such courses are offered in 38 of the universities. Appendix C
presents those universities and colleges offering graduate work in acoustics.
Even though graduate training in noise control is increasing, there continues
to be a need for increased attention to the legal aspects of noise and land
transportation. Only two schools offer noise control courses relative to legal
aspects, and only four institutions offer noise control courses relative to
land transportation. The current academic emphasis in noise control is
directed toward aerodynamics, vibration induced noise, structural response,
and machinery. Appendix D presents a description of some courses in
acoustics and noise offered by institutions.
The majority of institutions currently offering noise-oriented programs
plan to increase their faculty, and nearly all plan to add sequential courses
to increase the depth of training. Only a little over one-half of the programs
anticipate requiring courses in other departments to accomplish this.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Research programs related to noise are being conducted outside of the
federal government principally by departments, institutes, or divisions of
8
-------
large universities. On the basis of data in Table 2-1, over 90 percent of the
research being conducted by 34 universities is supported by various federal
agencies. The research projects/programs conducted by these institutions
cover a broad spectrum of activity. Studies related to hearing loss and noise
exposure are being conducted at several universities, as are studies on the
effects and control of noise in rural areas. The latter area includes work on
dissipation rates of certain noises in recreational environments, noise con-
trol in rural housing, noise generation of agricultural equipment, and effects
of vegetative growth on noise abatement. Other universities are research-
ing timely studies on transportation noise (aircraft and ground), while others
are investigating sound transmission and attenuation in buildings, effects of
noise on wildlife and domestic animals, physiological and psychological ef-
fects of noise on humans, and attenuation of industrial machinery noises.
Table 2-1 shows the research activity being conducted by academic institu-
tions and the source of funding.

Such publications relating to noise exist in the form of newsletters, sci-
entific journals, text books, technical reports, and manuals. Recent books
include those of a highly technical nature, such as Effects of Noise on Man,
by Karl D. Kryter and Noise and Vibration Control by Leo Beranek, as well
as those aimed at the nontechnical community including The Fight for Quiet
by Theodore Berland and The Tyranny of Noise by Alex Baron. Books devoted
to specific subjects such as Transportation Noises, by J. D. Chalupnik (Ed),
and Noise Pollution and the Law by James L. Hillebrand are available for
those with interest in and need for specialized information. Significant con-
tributions have been made by Federal agencies through their publications,
which include The Noise Around Us by the Department of Commerce and
Noise: Sound Without Value by the U.S. Federal Council for Science and
Technology. Appendix E provides a bibliography of relevant books pub-
lished during the past 20 years.
There are over 40 periodicals regularly featuring articles that relate
specifically to acoustics and noise, and there are over 50 publications that
frequently publish articles related to noise problems, and over 50 publications
that frequently contain articles related to noise problems. The Journal of
the Acoustical Society of America publishes monthly scientific research re-
ports specific to noise and noise related problems. Noise is one of several
subjects dealt with in the Journal rating a separate associate editor. The
Archives of Otolaryngology of the American Medical Association and the
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research of the American Speech and Hearing
13
-------
Association publish articles on noise as it relates to human communication.
The quarterly Noise Measurement is produced by General Radio Corporation,
a major electronics manufacturer. A wide spectrum of acoustic (noise) and
vibration subjects are published monthly for the professional community in
the controlled circulation publication Sound and Vibration. Appendix F pro-
vides a bibliography of periodicals that, to varying degrees, treat noise,

One of the tasks assigned to the Society's Committee on Education in Acoustics is the gathering of data
on the status of acoustics education in America. A recent activity in this area has centered on the compilation
of a rather general summary of graduate programs. Such a summary should be of value in the advising of
students seeking graduate study, as well as to the Committee and the Society.
Beginning in December of 1969, we sent a questionnaire to approximately ISO individuals who were
thought to be engaged in acoustics education at the graduate level. Working with the response to this mailing,
we have prepared a summary of present graduate programs in terms of activity within 14 different areas.
These areas of acoustics study were taken from the list of major subject classifications of the Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America. Although it generally can be assumed that some graduate thesis research is
going on, the exact meaning of "graduate program" was left to the interpretation of each respondant. We
did not specify that there should be a minimum number of formal courses or a formal acoustics degree
program, and we did not request bibliographic evidence of recent research activity.
The following compilation is intended to include the names of all colleges and universities in the United
States and Canada which provide graduate opportunities in at least one area of acoustics. For each program
area, we include the name and address of one or more individuals who are personally cognizant of the ac-
tivity and can be contacted for more detailed information. An address does not necessarily indicate the
department in which the activity is carried on. Inclusion of the names of particular individuals was often
rather arbitrary and, hi general, was not meant to imply administrative responsibility or seniority.
It is recognized that this directory is not complete. In order that the anticipated revisions might be more
accurate, we would greatly appreciate having readers notify one of us concerning any errors or omissions
which might be found in this compilation.

of recent activity of the Committee on Education in A couslics of the A coustical Society of A mer-
ica. It has been felt thai it would be helpful to the acoustics community to bring up to date the
data presented in the earlier report "Proceedings of the Conference on Education in Acous-
tics," J. Acousl. Soc. Amer. 37, 357-381 (1965) and to add to these a special section on grad-
uate programs in acoustics.
Availability of Formal Courses in Acoustics in Colleges and Universities

Access to programs and courses in educational institutions becomes especially import-
ant when one is considering a field in which the availability is particularly limited. Such is
the case for the field of acoustics. The information given here on courses having major
acoustics content was furnished by members of the Acoustical Society of America during
the period 15 January-8 May 1970. Of the 675 courses reported, 259 are available to under-
graduates and 474 to graduates. The current listing of courses includes all reported offerings,
regardless of type of administering units, i.e., departments, committees, continuing educa-
tion, etc.
Introduction: A special conference, Education in Ac oustics, was held at the American
Institute of Physics, 12-13 March 1964, for the purpo.' e of evaluating the role and signifi-
cance of the subject matter of acoustics in higher education ana to chart the future of edu-
cation in acoustics. The report on the proceedings of that conference1 contained, as an ap-
pendix, a listing of courses with acoustics content in PhD granting institutions. The courses
listed were identified in catalogues issued by those institutions. With very few exceptions,
only those courses offered by engineering colleges and physics departments were reported.
Since that time, the ASA administrative Committee or. Education in Acoustics has made a
number of attempts to update the 1964 listing of courses.

ACOUSTICAL NEWS — USA
Following the 1969 Fall Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, it was decided to
attempt to collect data on current course offerings in acoustics as a part of a broader sur-
vey, which included information on acoustic programs, research activities, and manpower
needs. During this same period, the Committee on Education in Acoustics pursued col-
lection of information on acoustic programs. The simultaneous completion of the two
surveys permitted a cross-check on sources of acoustic programs, and the result can be
found under the Committee report. The information on research activities and manpower
needs was motivated primarily by the ASEE Committee on Education in Acoustics,
however, it will also be made available to all members of the Acoustical Society of America.
Summary of Acoustic Course Survey: Whereas previous surveys on acoustic course
offerings have used catalogues as the resource, it was concluded to be worthwhile to obtain
such material directly from those having a primary interest in the field. In order to minimize
the possibility of overlooking-appropriate contributors, a request was directed to all mem-
bers of the Acoustical Society of America. This permitted each individual to use his own
judgment as to which courses have major acoustic content. This becomes important in
many courses'which are for multipurpose objectives.
The response to the request for information was quite gratifying for the most part. The
total number of individual responses as of 8 May was 830. It was pointed out by several
respondents that they were reporting for a number of others in their organizations. On the
other hand, there were a few cases where no report was made, even though their institutions
have course offerings.
Of particular interest to educators should be the apparent trends in changes in acoustic
education since the 1964 survey. It is important to note that such trends can only be de-
scribed as apparent, because of the grossly different means of data collection. One of the
striking differences is that in 196-1'more than 60 physics departments had reported courses,
while in 1970 there were less than 40 such departments reporting. Even more striking is the
drop in the number of mechanical engineering departments from 65 in 1964 to 23 in 1970.
Engineering mechanics departments also dropped sharply from 26 to 6. Even with these
major changes, it should be noted that the total number of engineering departments re-
ported as having acoustic courses approximated 120 for ooth reports.
A comparison of the 1964 and 1970 surveys shows th.it there were 39 institutions listed
in the earlier survey for which no report was received n the latter. Conversely, the 1970
survey included 60 institutions which were not included in the 1964 report. These were
made up of 26 with science and engineering courses, 13 with nonscience and nonengineering
courses, 14 not in the United States, and 7 miscellaneous. In 1964, courses from 195 de-
partments were included and in 1970, 251 departments i or programs).
This report should be of particular benefit to student: and counselors alike by providing
guidance on choice of institutions for study in acoustic;. Also, it fortunately provides in-
formation for nonscience and nonengineering fields. Fo • example, it reports on 40 speech,
20 psychology, and 20 architecture departments which w .-re not in the previous report. There
are also a number of new departments reported such as ocean engineering, acoustics, and
various biological and medical programs.
In summary, the results of this survey were quite satisfactory. Although omissions are
known to exist, a report of this type can never expect to be completely accurate. It is pre-
sumed that corrections will be received and these cah be noted in a later issue of the
JOURNAL.
