Trevor Cox's Acousticians and after he was unable to properly identify certain noise phenomena in the London sewers, he set out in search of interesting noise phenomena in the world. As he examined the place with the longest reverberation, long Flüstergallerien (which sound waves move around bends) or by humming sand dunes. That would be quite interesting enough, but when Acousticians he naturally has a different perspective on the phenomena as a layman. In addition, his enthusiasm is tremendously contagious and you begin involuntarily after sound effects in its vicinity to look. Of course, he also explains all phenomena and of course the basics: How sound bells? What makes the timbre?
All in all, comes this book my ideal popular science book very close: unusual subject, enthusiastic author who interested himself what he wants to convey (and not only wanted to write a technical book) and all technically sound at the right level of difficulty telling: of course, but not to simplify , I liked the book enormously - much better than the music seducer, I read a short time before and dealt with a similar issue.
