Acoustics and Psychoacoustics

 Acoustics and Psychoacoustics



This book by David M Howard and Jamie Angus is a treasure trove on the fundamentals of acoustic theory. It covers many aspects of sound and its perception and is a great textbook.

I just read the graphs and diagrams and found it really interesting. The section on psychoacoustics is fairly short but includes phantom notes and scales. It also includes a CD with examples of the described phenomena.
