- Abstract
- An overview of the current state-of-the-art of structureborne sound in buildings is presented. A general introduction to the field of structureborne sound is included with a discussion of important phenomena. Summaries of recent investigations described in the technical literature are discussed relevant to excitation and local response, propagation, radiation, and control of structureborne sound in buildings. Topics for future research in structureborne sound in buildings are presented based upon this review. An annotated bibliography of recent investigations is appended.
