Publications

The IOA has published the new Transport Noise Supplement available free to download.  Part of the IOA’s charitable remit is to promote and advance the art, science and technology of acoustics in all their aspects. 

The mission of the M&I Group committee is to advance the science of measurement of both sound and vibration and to explain the instrumentation required to achieve this goal, not only to the IOA membership but the wider public as well.

The IOA has produced an Innovations supplement to promote the work of IOA members to professionals who work, or are indirectly involved in, some aspect of acoustics but are not currently IOA members.

Its purpose is to encourage discussions/thought leadership in acoustics to the wider ‘acoustics-related’ communities, and for engineers who touch on the areas of acoustics although it may not be their full-time occupation.

A wide range of publications, brochures, consultation documents and conference proceedings are available. 

Guide to the work of Institute of Acoustics

In this downloadable booklet, you will find a snapshot of the areas covered by the Institute’s nine specialist groups, which are dedicated to the advancement of the science and sharing of knowledge.

Each overview contains a description of the different specialisms, underlining why acousticians make such a vital contribution to the world we inhabit in so many different ways.

We hope you enjoy this introduction booklet to the fascinating world of acoustics and that it gives you a better understanding of why acoustics is so important to us all.
