promote international cooperation within different specific fields of acoustics, provide assistance in organizing EAA events, suggest special issues for Acta Acustica or Acoustics in Practice, initiate studies and prepare documents such as strategies, policy statements, state-of-the-art assessments, reports, etc, within its defined technical field.

Noise


The Technical Committee on Noise will provide all colleagues in noise engineering an information platform about new activities, research results, papers, books, congresses, projects, workshops, etc. A major task of the TC should be to stimulate joint activities and mutual cooperations between researchers worldwide to initiate common projects in research, development and education, and to help in organizing structured sessions in Noise for congresses. The web page of the EAA will serve as a convenient tool for exchanging such information and for establishing contacts. The basic structure of the TCs require to have a chairman and a Working Group. In the TC Noise the persons who are presently in charge are the following :


TC Noise Chair: Jian Kang
TC Noise Vice-Chair: André Fiebig
TC Secretary: Francesco Aletta
TC Noise Council: Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and all nominated Action Groups leaders


TC Noise Action Groups: “Topic” (Group leader)
1. “Wind turbine noise” (Stephen Cooper)
2. “Soundscape Standard” (Brigitte Schulte-Fortkamp)
3. “CNOSSOS method” (Gijsjan van Blokland)
4. “Construction noise” (Krister Larsson)
5. “Indoor soundscaping” (Papatya Nur Dokmeci Yorukoglu)
6. “Noise in Care Facilities” (Hui Xie)




The European Acoustics Association (EAA) is a non-profit entity established in 1992 that includes in its membership societies predominantly in European countries interested in to promote development and progress of acoustics in its different aspects, its technologies and applications. EAA gathers 33 societies of acoustics and serves more than 9000 individual members all over Europe. The European Acoustics Association (EAA) is an Affiliate Member of the International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) and of Initiative of Science in Europe (ISE)
