Acoustics in Aged Care is a practical guide to sound, noise and hearing that will help the reader understand the problem of acoustic intrusions.

Written for anyone planning, designing, building homes or caring for older people,* Acoustics in Aged Care* is an important resource with practical strategies that can be taken to reduce intrusive noise at home or in the care environment.
