Abstract
Robert Young was hired by Vern O. Knudsen in the early 1940s to assist in the acoustical research work being conducted in support of the U.S. Navy’s efforts to develop improved methods to use sound signals to detect and monitor ships and submarines. In this capacity, Bob served as an in-house consultant on all acoustical aspects of that work. After the war, Bob Young formed a partnership with Bob Gales to provide acoustical consulting services for a large variety of clients. Consulting activities included projects in architectural acoustical design, measurement and evaluation of environmental or community noise, neighborhood noise complaints, and the development of acoustical criteria for use in city and county noise ordinances. Bob Young also helped draft the noise regulations of the State of California. This paper describes highlights of some of the acoustical consulting work undertaken by Robert Young over five decades from the 1940s to the 1990s.
