"This handbook is highly recommended for the library of any organisation or company that has any dealing with assessment and control of noise and vibration." (Acoustics Australia, Vol 35, No. 3) "It is recommended that this book be close at hand for every acoustical consulting and design engineer. It is remarkably complete and deals with noise and vibration at levels understood by all engineers. I give this Handbook my heartiest endorsement." (International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol 12)"A new 1,600-page reference book, "Handbook of Noise and Vibration Control," intended to be the definitive source on noise and vibration control for engineers, scientists, and researchers. The new reference book addresses a range of topics in acoustics and vibration, focusing on industrial needs." (Airport Noise Report; 11/2/07)
