This book is a companion volume to ''Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration'' published in 1998. It is based partly Advanced Applications in Acoustics, Noise and Vibration provides comprehensive and up-to-date overviews of knowledge, applications and research activities in a range of topics that are of current interest in the practice of engineering acoustics and vibration technology. It is developed for a wide range of graduate students and professionals as a solution to problems. The thirteen chapters are grouped into four parts: signal processing, acoustic modelling, environmental and industrial acoustics, and vibration.

It follows on from its companion volume Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration, also published by Spon. It is based partly on material covered in a selection of elective modules in the second semester of the Masters programme in ''Sound and Vibration Studies'' of the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton, UK and partly on material presented in the annual ISVR short course ''Advanced Course in Acoustics, Noise and Vibration''.
