1. Tug MasterJob Description: A person who has overall responsibility for safe operations of a tug vessel. This includes looking after the crew of the vessel and ensuring that the load is in place and passage plans have been checked.
2. Acoustics ConsultantJob Description: Working on engineering projects, an acousticsconsultant has a good understanding and practical experience ofenvironment and building acoustics and is expected to beproficient with technology called “noise mapping software”. Anacoustic consultant would need to be confident with a range ofacoustics and vibration measurement and analysis systems, andbe conversant with relevant standards and guidance, especiallythose relating to environmental acoustics.
3. Air CartographerJob Description: Similar to an airport or airline manager, or even transport planning manager, an air cartographer creates flight plans for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and maintains flight safety standards.

Room Acoustic design in practise
Schools:
Positive effects of a good sound environment in educational premises include:
• Reduced vocal strain and voice disorders for teachers• Improved concentration• Reduced tiredness, fatigue and stress levels• Easier to hear and be heard with improved speech clarity• Optimised environment for multi-communicational activities such as group work• Improved student behaviour and reduced burden on school and classroom
management
Healthcare:
Better sound environment contributes to:
• Lowering of blood pressure• Improving quality of sleep• Reducing intake of pain medication• Reducing the number of re-admissions• Improving the wellbeing of staff and increasing perceived performance
Open-plan offices:
• In a modern flexible OPO, the creation of a functional work station is a complex process in which acoustic planning is only one part of a series of considerations having to be addressed. The open-plan office should support both communication and concentrated work. Thus, for an OPO to be an efficient and comfortable place of work there are several other requirements than acoustic treatment that have to be fulfilled.
Public health experts agree that environmental risks
constitute 24% of the burden
of disease. Widespread exposure to environmental
noise from road, rail, airports
and industrial sites contributes to this burden. One in
three individuals is annoyed
during the daytime and one in five has disturbed
sleep at night because of traffic
noise. Epidemiological evidence indicates that those
chronically exposed to high levels
of environmental noise have an increased risk of
cardiovascular diseases such as
myocardial infarction. Thus, noise pollution is
considered not only an environmental
nuisance but also a threat to public health.
