Welcome to the September 2023 issue of Noise/News International
By Eoin A. King Ph.D.
In this issue we present a report from the INTER-NOISE 2023 conference held earlier this year in Chiba, Greater Tokyo, Japan. It was my first time to travel to Japan and I thoroughly enjoyed it – both the conference and my time in Japan. I hope you enjoy reading about it, and if you attended it, I hope it brings back some nice memories.
We also have some Product News from SoundPLAN, and Jim Thompson returns with another article for his regular ‘What is all the Noise about?’ feature. In this issue he asks why do product noise control engineers get no respect?
Finally, there is a preliminary announcement regarding our special issue in March 2024. That issue will be devoted to aircraft noise, so if you are working in the field and would like to contribute something, we would love to hear from you!
I hope you enjoy this issue of Noise/News International.
