Course Information
Course Overview
Acoustics, Noise & Vibration Control
So far, this is the first online course on Acoustical Engineering and it has been designed to be as straightforward & comprehensive as possible.
With 20 lectures and more than three hours of video, this course leaves no stone unturned! In order for you to get the most out of this course, it includes solved examples to apply what you have learnt and quizzes so you can check your level of understanding after each chapter.
This course will teach you Acoustics in a practical manner rather than getting too deep into the theory and the underlying mathematical concepts, proofs, etc.
We will start by introducing you to the very basic physics of sound, regardless of the subject that you may have studied or not in the university. All you need is some high school algebra, physics and be comfortable with numbers.
We cover a wide variety of topics, including:
Basics of sound.
What is loudness.
How time-varying sound works.
Physiology of the human ear.
How sound spreads outdoors.
How to design the best indoor acoustic environments.
How to achieve good sound insulation.
How to avoid excessive vibrations.
How to make various noisy pieces of equipment as silent as possible.
How microphones work.
What are the most important pieces of software that we acoustic engineers are using.
By completing this course you will be able to advance your career and increase your knowledge, all in a fun and practical way!
Come on board and learn the secrets of the trade, next to an Acoustic Consultant!

I hate to say this, but this course is not good at all. I hope that the course teacher modify it substantially. First, the pronounciation of many words are wrong, and the presenter does not pay enough attention to pronounce words correctly, or at least with a nicer accent. Second, it's like reading from a text. Monotonic speach. Without any up and down, intonation, which makes it hard to follow. Lastly, the teacher did not bother to prepare information and detailed presentations. There comes one figure, and without any further keywords or sentences, the presenter start and talk 3 minutes about it with the not-appropriate accent. I believer Udemy should add a quality control for all the course.

The Course material is great. The Instructors voice is very engaging. I don't always understand the words spoken, and the closed caption also gets those words wrong. Proof the closed caption verbiage and your good.
