Abstract
In the mid 1960s, my interest in reverberation rooms for the determination of sound power led me to get to know Jiri Tichy because he had similar interests in the field. At IBM, we had a good relationship with Professor Tichy and others at Penn State in making recommendations for student projects and following through with funding. He served as president of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA (INCE-USA) and was very active in presenting at the INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON series of international and national conferences on noise control engineering. He played a major role in bringing INTER-NOISE to Prague in 2004 Four of us, William Lang, Matt Nobile, Jiri Tichy, and me also collaborated on the handbook article on determination of sound power of noise sources in the book Noise and Vibration Control Engineering edited by Leo Beranek and Istvan Ver. While his main interests were architectural acoustics and active control, he made many contributions to noise control engineering.
