The week of May 24-27 2011, the Alberta Acoustics and Noise Association will be hosting the 9th biennial conference on environmental and occupational noise. As with our previous conferences, we place a specific emphasis on practical and applicable aspects of acoustical science, rather than the theoretical aspects which are well covered at other forums.

This year's theme is "What's The Buzz?: Innovations & Issues". The purpose of the Spring Noise Conference is to provide a forum for industry, government, public, academics and acoustical professionals worldwide to share experiences and innovations in environmental and occupational noise identification, measurement, regulation and control.

• Industrial & Occupational: Facility Controls, Workplace Considerations, Environmental Assessment
• Heavy Industry: Mining, Resource Development, Oil & Gas (Conventional/Unconventional)
• Transportation/Infrastructure/Manufacturing
• Power Generation (Conventional & Alternative)
• Architectural/Community/Public Health/Education
• Ecology, Environment & Wildlife
• Noise Modelling & Measurement Techniques
• Noise Regulations, Standards & Policies
• Vibration & Low Frequency Noise
• Other: Include Description with Abstract

If you would like to present one or more papers on these topics, we invite you to submit an abstract for your paper(s) by February 1, 2011. If you are a student please review the Students tab as there is an alternate form available for Student Papers. The abstract should be in Microsoft Word (version 2000 or later), or as a text file, and be no longer than 300 words. Please use Calibri font if you have Calibri on your system, as this will be the font used in the published proceedings. Please use the format as setup in this document.

NEW THIS CONFERENCE: we are collecting abstracts, papers and presentations using the online file sharing service 4Shared. Please check back later for submission instructions.
