Here are the downloadable versions of B&K's excellent series of booklets on basic noise and vibration measurements.
Measurement Microphones
An introduction to the design features and operating principles of measuring microphones.
Measurements in Building Acoustics
Answers some of the basic questions asked by the newcomer to building acoustic measurements.
Measuring Sound
Answers some of the basic questions asked by the newcomer to a noise measuring programme.
Measuring Vibration
