2. Noise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

   Industrial noise control is a subset of interior architectural control of noise, with emphasis on specific methods of sound isolation from industrial machinery and for protection of workers at their task stations. Sound masking is the active addition of noise to reduce the annoyance of certain sounds, the opposite of soundproofing.

3. Soundproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundproofing

   A pair of headphones being tested inside an anechoic chamber for soundproofing. Soundproofing is any means of impeding sound propagation.There are several methods employed including increasing the distance between the source and receiver, decoupling, using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles for absorption, or using ...

4. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

   Sound reflections: by limiting the reflection using many methods, e.g. by using acoustic absorption (deadening) materials, trapping the sound, opening a "window" to let sound out, etc. By analyzing the entire sequence of events, from the source to the observer, an acoustic engineer can provide many ways to quieten the machine.

5. Noise barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_barrier

   The sound tube in Melbourne, Australia, designed to reduce roadway noise without detracting from the area's aesthetics. A noise barrier (also called a soundwall, noise wall, sound berm, sound barrier, or acoustical barrier) is an exterior structure designed to protect inhabitants of sensitive land use areas from noise pollution.

7. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

   Besides noise control, acoustical engineering also covers positive uses of sound, such as the use of ultrasound in medicine, programming digital synthesizers, designing concert halls to enhance the sound of orchestras [2] and specifying railway station sound systems so that announcements are intelligible.
