Acoustic engineering jobs often require technical skills and knowledge. It’s helpful to understand the acoustical concept of frequency bands and the effect that noise can have on others. You can also develop an understanding of sound waves, including knowledge of how sound can travel through walls. Having some knowledge of the human ear and how…

Low-frequency sounds can cause strong vibrations within buildings and structures. Acoustic engineers may reduce vibrations by coating metal parts with a damping material or implementing acoustic absorption techniques. In this role, you may investigate the source and cause of vibrations, including vibrations in residential, industrial and office buildings.

Acoustic engineers might implement solutions to enhance the sound experience at entertainment venues. These engineers may optimize the acoustics of theaters and auditoriums to help create a more enjoyable experience for audiences. Reflected sounds or reverberations from the walls, ceiling and floor may disrupt live performances, so acoustic engineers often use their expertise to add…

Acoustic engineers may measure noise at workplaces to help businesses maintain safe sound levels. Reducing and mitigating loud noise in the workplace can help prevent hearing loss among employees who work in those settings. Acoustic engineers may use sound level meters, noise dosimeters and octave band analyzers to measure noise in decibels. You may also…

Acoustic engineers may develop solutions to reduce noise pollution. As an acoustic engineer, you could create noise barriers to control sound and implement soundproofing techniques for making walls and windows soundproof. You could also implement acoustic techniques to reduce the sound levels in industrial buildings that use heavy equipment and machinery.
