Challenges and conundrums

Abstract

Various noise and vibration control experiences will be described, with data presented where available. Project types range from performing arts to offices, large to small, near and far. Some solutions were surprisingly straightforward, others were simply surprising, and others seemed fairly inventive. Some resisted predictive approaches or were hampered by questionable “data.” Several noise issues turned out to be unrelated to the MEP system, and for one or two conundrums we will welcome your insights. Often, such experiences can often offer useful approaches where conventional wisdom fails, and these war stories are the most fun to share.
