Handbook For Acoustic Ecology

Barry Truax has created an excellent teaching and research tool, one of the central texts pf the acoustic ecology movement, first written in the late 1970s.

This searchable resource defines 500 key terms, exemplified with 125 graphics and 150 sound examples from the World Soundscape Project, covering a wide range of topics relating to acoustics, psychoacoustics, soundscape studies, noise measurement, electroacoustics, music, linguistics, audiology and (acoustic) communication.
