Occupational & Community Noise: A Guide for Environmental Health & Safety Students is the first of its kind to address noise in a way that meets the educational needs of today’s Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) students. Most noise textbooks that are available have been written by engineers for engineers. And while engineering is certainly important in the evaluation and control of hazardous noise, there’s one big problem: most of the students training to become EH&S professionals in the United States do not have an engineering background! Occupational & Community Noise focuses on the aspects of occupational and community noise that are necessary to know in order to address noise concerns in a professional practice.

Introduction
