Abstract: For people who have hecn busily working in noise control for the last 10 to 30 years, the current upswing in interest in noise pollution seems like another fad with an intriguing title to catch the publics eye, (Or is it ear?) Noise has been a problem for many years, and noise has been successfully combatted for many years when the effort has been made. Nevertheless, it is true that as our society becomes more concerned (or alarmed) about the quality of its environment, noisiness is coming to be a factor in the selection of mechanical equipment. Here is an example. Several years ago a gas company came up with this problem. They had convinced the owner of a new luxury apartment to install natural gas reciprocating engines to drive the refrigeration machines for air conditioning his building. The building owner was concerned about the noise of this system so he required the gas company to agree to replace the engines with electric motor drives if the installation proved excessively noisy. Because this was to be a possible showplace for other prospective customers, as well as to satisfy the building owners demands, the gas company asked us to work with the architects and engineers of the building to help assure a successful installation.
