acoustics for uk
I have a lot of environmental and noise type books. This is the one I use all the time. It isn't high level, but it's the things you need to remember.

Top marks in my book!
This is the most complete and up-to-date volume I have come across lately on the subject of acoustics. It is compact, easy to follow, accessible (including to students such as myself), and contains key information about the field, all of which is clearly presented. It's inexpensive for what you get as well - quality content at a very fair price.

'The Little Red Book of Acoustics' is a must for anyone who wishes to be well-informed in his or her understanding of the industry.
