abstract = "Noise control engineering draws from a wide variety of academic disciplines. Foremost among these is acoustics, which is also a broad discipline. Acoustics impacts many fields: engineering, physics, music, architecture, psychology, and medicine, to name a few. Thus, it has no obvious
home department within the usual academic divisions of research and teaching. However, it is part of everyday human experience and has for centuries been utilized and investigated through both intuitive and quantitative means. The purpose of this article is to describe how students
acoustic intuition can be exploited to aid their learning and quantitative mastery of acoustics, and thereby attract more talented students to careers in this area and raise societal awareness of the importance of noise control engineering.",
