Clydebank residents urged to consider career in sound

National trade body, the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC), claims a new generation of students are needed to help address the issue.

ANC says managing noise is an “important, but often under-considered option, for the future well-being of society.”

In a complete trend reversal compared to other sectors, there are often more acoustics jobs available than there are applicants.

Dan Saunders, ANC chair, said: “Acoustics is a dynamic, diverse and rewarding career but few people have even heard of it.

“Roles are wide-ranging and include product design, cinema sound, and even sonar and ultrasound.”
