Best books for acoustic beginner

I'm a beginner in acoustics engineering. Someone can help me chose a good "for dummies" intro book?

Thanks

Check out the FAQ for this forum. Some nice kind soul has already prepared some good references and links.

"Fundamentals of Acoustics" Kinsler& Frey.

Not really a dummies book, but that was the one I used to learn acoustics.

For Industrial Noise Control:
"Machinery Acoustics" by George M. Diehl Wiley-Interscience 1973
Perhaps a newer version is available, but the fundamentals do not change!
