Programming

NoiseControl2D is an educational software currently under development by Michael Salameh. The software helps college students understand room acoustics and noise control in buildings. It includes RT, reverberant/direct sound, STC and composite STC concepts as well as calculations of the noise level in a room (NC, NCB, dB and dBA) using transmission losses of the room boundaries and noise levels in adjacent rooms.


The first version of the program include one exe. file (size 499 k) and information text file (size 2.74 k). Please e-mail with your comments.
