For a book that&#x27;s lightly technical, there&#x27;s F. Alton Everest&#x27;s &quot;Master Handbook of Acoustics&quot; that discusses many aspects of acoustics, but does cover noise control and sound abatement.<p>For more technical treatments, my go-to books are Leo Beranek&#x27;s &quot;Acoustics&quot; (or Beranek&#x27;s &quot;Noise and Vibration Control&quot; if you just care about the noise control aspect) and  &quot;Fundamentals of Acoustics&quot; by Kinsler and Frey.
