About Structural Acoustic Solutions
Structural acoustics describes the interaction of sound and structural vibration across a wide frequency range. The field has a rich history, is well-developed yet still evolving, and has a wide range of interesting and relevant applications. That said, courses in acoustics and vibration are becoming more rare in undergraduate programs leading to a decline in knowledgeable practitioners.
Structural Acoustic Solutions was founded in 2024 to collaborate with leading providers of structural acoustic solutions to advance the field and connect industry challenges with effective solutions to meet noise and vibration requirements.
