Good source for more informationOct 05, 2007
Noise and Vibration Control Engineering: Principles and Applications looks to be a good source for a second book on noise control. By second book I mean a follow up to a good introductory book on Architectural Acoustics by Egan, Long, or Mehta et al. Long's book is very thourough.
Each Chapter is written by a recognized expert in the field. It covers theory, mathematical models, and some application.
While a few of the chapters are general, and many of them relate to building noise, the subject is not limited to buildings. As an example there is coverage of jet engine noise generation and propagation. I have only read it in sections to date, and am satisfied with it.
BTW - A good source for a hands on, non-theoretical approach is from ASHRAE, "A Practical Guide to Noise and Vibration Control for HVAC Systems".

Practical Use of Noise and Vibration Control EngineeringJun 29, 2001
The book has some very practical suggestions and formulas that can be used to control noise in real engineering problems. This it does by first reviewing the basic terms, definitions and international standards in acoustics. Several practical formulas for design of noise control systems are discussed and given in the text. Formulas for calculation of sound propagation in various practical situations are also given. I recommend this book to people who have an interest in reducing noise in most practical problems.The book is also suitable to students in mechanical, aerospace, automotive, electrical, environmental, highways and building engineering who have an interest in acoustics or noise control problems. The book is however not suitable as a class textbook as not many formulas are derived neither are there many worked examples or tutorial problems that can assist a student to prepare for examinations.
