•Audible range and limit of the risk of damage to hearing (ear sensitivity, phon and dB(A)). •Basic characteristics of noise and its impact on humans (level, spectrum and temporal character). •Noise from multiple sources (equivalent and authoritative level, overall, specific and background noise). •The standards and regulations on permissible noise level in the working and living environments (dB(A) and the normative line of acceptable noise (N-curves) in some areas, the impact of noise on certain activities, permitted noise dose during working hours). •Measuring chain and equipment for measurement and analysis of noise (sound level meters, filters, dosimeters, software tools). •Environmental noise (traffic, construction and communal noise; sources and routes of noise transmission; methods of measuring and noise protection). •Noise in the workplace (acoustic power, methods of measuring noise in the working environment, control measures and the protection of workers). •Monitoring of noise (noise maps in the environment, planning - architectural acoustics). •Noise control (prevention at source (technical and legal means), control of the transmission lines, protection of the receipt). •Building acoustics (principles of building vs. principles of acoustics; insulation material power, roads of penetrating noise, structural noise). •Sound insulation (materials and structures, measurement of sound insulation of wall, floor and ceiling, measuring the sound insulation of windows and doors, evaluation of sound insulation in accordance with the regulations and standards, methods to improve the sound insulation). •Methods of prevention and protection from noise (acoustic barriers, sound absorbers, acoustic treatment of rooms and noise insulation, personal protection, active noise canceling).
