Psychoacoustics a" Facts and Models offers a unique, comprehensive summary of information describing the processing of sound by the human hearing system. It includes quantitative relations between sound stimuli and auditory perception in terms of hearing sensations, for which quantitative models are given, as well as an unequalled collection of data on the human hearing system as a receiver of acoustic information. In addition, many examples of the practical application of the results of basic research in fields such as noise control, audiology, or sound quality engineering are detailed. The third edition includes an additional chapter on audio-visual interactions and applications, plus more on applications throughout. Acoustic demonstrations on a CD included with this edition further illustrate and amplify basic and applied psychoacoustic phenomena. Reviews of previous editions have characterized it as "an essential source of psychoacoustic knowledge," "a major landmark," and a book that "without doubt will have a long-lasting effect on the standing and future evolution of this scientific domain."

Die dritte Auflage der Elektroakustik wurde in Symbolik und Nomenklatur an moderne Schreibweisen angepasst und enthalt neue Abschnitte zu DIN-Normen und VDI-Richtlinien. Der Besprechung von Schallabstrahlung, -brechung, -beugung, -absorption und -transmission wurde ein eigener Abschnitt gewidmet, die Berechnung der Schallgeschwindigkeit wurde ausfuhrlicher dargestellt, und man findet etwas zu Compact Disk und Digital Audio Tape-Recorder. Zahlreiche durchgerechnete Beispiele helfen bei der Aneignung des Stoffes. Der Praktiker wird auch das englische Stichwortverzeichnis begrussen."
