Institute of Sound & Vibration Research

The Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) Advanced Course is a five-day taught course in Sound and Vibration led by world-class academics.

This course is suitable for anyone working in industrial design on products where reducing noise is a key driver, as well as those working in noise control consultancy or research. The course will benefit both those with extensive experience in noise control who wish to further their understanding of its principles, and those new to the field. Either a degree-level qualification or equivalent working knowledge and experience
in engineering, physical sciences, or mathematics is recommended in order to attend this course.

Our residential option includes accommodation in a university hall of residence (inclusive of food), Sunday-Thursday inclusive.

Fees include course literature for your chosen stream and an external course dinner on Thursday evening.

After laying out some fundamental principles of noise analysis this advanced course in Aeroacoustics provides a deep understanding of the physics that underpins aeroacoustic noise generation and control. Modelling techniques are examined and a number of specific applications are discussed including road vehicles, turbomachinery, and aircraft.
