Technology for a Quieter America
Areas of Interest: Environment
Project Type: FACA Compliant Consensus Study, Workshop
Latest Update: April 12, 2011
Technology for a Quieter America was a multi-year NAE study to review state-of-the-art noise-control engineering, describe the technological, economic and political climate for noise control, and identify gaps in research. During the past three years, a 14-member umbrella committee, chaired by NAE member George Maling of the Institute for Noise Control Engineering USA, five subcommittees, and focused working groups have explored three categories of issues related to noise-control engineering and public concerns: applications of current technologies; research and development initiatives; and intra-governmental and public relations programs.

Technology for a Quieter America
Exposure to noise at home, at work, while traveling, and during leisure activities is a fact of life for all Americans. At times noise can be loud enough to damage hearing, and at lower levels it can disrupt normal living, affect sleep patterns, affect our ability to concentrate at work, interfere ... Read More
