Assignemnt 3 – Sound Construction Technology 5 – 200471 Damir Kukic 17038124 Q1. List and explain three ways that noise can be reduced at the source. Noise can be reduced at the source by placing noise in sound proof enclosure. A special enclosure does not need to be constructed for the noise source. Structure-borne noise can be eliminated by flexible connections to the services and placing machinery on resilient supports. Q2. Explain how noise attenuation differs for a point source

Sound and music are parts of our everyday sensory experience. Just as humans have eyes for the detection of light and color‚ so we are equipped with ears for the detection of sound. We seldom take the time to ponder the characteristics and behaviors of sound and the mechanisms by which sounds are produced‚ propagated‚ and detected.
