Talk:Noise control
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Merge?
"Noise control" doesn't seem to be any sort of architectural term, but a sweeping industry term for noise reduction methods and products. This article contains far more information relating to noise reduction products than "noise control" itself. The information in this article would make a great addition to architectural acoustics - I'm suggesting that it be merged there. Adhall 17:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. Noise control includes far more than architectural noise control - examples are environmental noise control (highway noise barriers), hearing protection, reduction of noise from machinery. Noise control engineering should be included as a branch of acoustics. Dulciepercy
- You are both right ....the material as presently writtne is all about architectural acoustics and should be moved there, but dulciepercy is correct than noise control as a topic includes the regulatory aspects of noise control and technical measures such as noise barriers, industrial noise mitigation and a host of other aspects...i think we need to start fresh with a new article if we want to address noise control in its entirety. so in other words ok to merge for now, because the existing article is a pathetic attempt to cover this vast topic, cheers Anlace 22:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
