Occupation

Acoustic engineers

Acoustic engineers study and apply the science of sound to various applications. They work in a wide range of areas including the elements affecting the transmission of sound in spaces for performances or recording activities, and work with construction design teams to help design buildings in order to control sound diffraction, refraction, absorption and reverberation. They also consult on the levels of noise contamination for activities that require compliance with regulations.
