自1968年推出以來，應用聲學一直在出版有關聲學廣泛應用的高質量研究論文。應用聲學是一種公認的國際聲學應用報告工具，它為從事主動和被動噪聲控制建筑設計、結構和計算聲學和振動的工程師和科學家提供了最先進的研究成果。應用聲學也在研究如何利用這些領域的現有知識的同時，考察了在理解樂器和聲音在大氣和水下傳播方面的最新進展。應用聲學鼓勵通過以下方式交流實踐經驗：完整的論文、簡短的技術注釋、評論文章，從而提供大量可用于解決相關問題的技術信息。應用聲學包括聲學在工程研究中的應用：建筑設計；運輸噪聲；機械噪聲；環境噪聲；控制、測量和儀器儀表。

Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers concerned with the wide application of acoustics. Now an established international vehicle for the reporting of applications in acoustics, Applied Acoustics provides state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved with the design of buildings with active and passive noise control and with structural and computational acoustics and vibrations. Applied Acoustics also looks at recent developments in the understanding of musical instruments, and sound propagation through the atmosphere and underwater, while investigating ways of exploiting present knowledge of these areas. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: Complete Papers Short Technical Notes Review Articles and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems. Applied Acoustics covers the application of acoustics in engineering research: Building Design; Transport Noise; Machinery Noise; Environmental Noise; Control, Measurement and Instrumentation.
