Membership

We are an incorporated society with branches in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Our membership is open to anyone with an interest in acoustics.

What We Do

We hold regular branch meetings, seminars and a two-yearly conference.  Our society journal, New Zealand Acoustics, is published quarterly, and is free for society members.  The journal always includes an original research paper, as well as local news, information about people, products and events.

Rating Noisy Restaurants

Many people have trouble conversing in trendy cafés and restaurants.  That’s because noise levels are increasing.  Design elements, coffee machines, music and clattering dishes all contribute to the din.

So we’ve developed a Café and Restaurant Acoustic Index (CRAI). Use our CRAI Rating Form (see below) to comment on noise levels at any café or restaurant you’ve visited.  Or visit the NZ Acoustical Society website to find out how others have rated eateries in your area.
