Books on silencers and mufflers

[ebarba]

Hello everybody!

I'm looking for some good book(s) on muffler and silencer design. I'm interested in dissipative, reactive and hybrid silencers for gases ranging from air to combustion exausts.

Is there any "famous" title everybody working in this field should have over his favorite shelf?

Thanks!

Acoustics of Ducts and Mufflers by M. L. Munjal is the most comprehensive that I've come across

These two each have a chapter chapter on the topic of silencers, as well as other information

Engineering Noise Control by Bies and Hansen

Noise and Vibratation Control Engineering by Beranek and Ver

Chapter 46 of the ASHRAE application guide has some basic information as well.
