Michael Norton's classic text has been extensively updated to include the latest developments in the field. The book's analysis of noise and vibration emphasizes wave-mode duality and interactions between sound waves and solid structures. Primarily a textbook for senior level undergraduate and graduate courses, the volume is also a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers.
