Good books for an entry-level acoustic/vibration engineer

Good books for an entry-level acoustic/vibration engineer

Good books for an entry-level acoustic/vibration engineer

(OP)
Hi,

It would be much appreciated if anyone of your experts could kindly suggest me some good books for an entry-level acoustics/vibration engineer focusing on practical applications of acoustics/vibration theories and techniques.

I am particularly interested in topics such as testing, data acquisition and signal processing, noise and vibration control and numerical modelling and simulation.

Thanks in advance
