ABOUT US

香港聲學學會成立於 1993年,目前會員約440人,成員除從事聲學設備和研究噪音問題的專業人士外,還包括建築師、工程師、環保人士、學者,以及政府部門如機電工程署和環 保署的官員等。早在香港聲學學會成立之前,本港許多業內人士已參加了英國聲學學會香港分會。後來有感於香港地少人多,噪音問題頗為嚴重,如交通噪音、機場 噪音、工業噪音,以至冷氣機、電視機聲浪,甚至市民 「打麻將」的聲音等,覺得有需要成立一個本地化的聲學學會,希望凝聚一群熟識香港特殊環境的專業人士,為香港的聲學研究及應用技術盡力,遂於1993年成 立香港聲學學會。當時,學會的成立是按《社團(修訂)條例》註冊及運作的。後來隨著會員人數及資產增多,舉辦的活動日漸多元化,終於在2004年根據《公 司條例》成立為法人團體,令會員的權益受到較大的保障,理財制度得到適當的監管,學會的日常管理亦更具規模。

香港聲學學會現在已經成為多個國際級聲學組織的成 員 , 例 如 International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE) 、 West Pacific Regional Acoustic Conference (WESTPRAC) 、 Commission and International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) 及 International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration(IIAV)。在多項噪音議題 上,例如噪音政策的探討及《噪音管制條例》的修訂建議,特區政府也不時向學會徵詢意見。

香港聲學學會自1993年成立以來,除定期舉辦不同類型的培訓課程、研討會、講座和學術交流活動外,也經常遠赴中國內地及海外國家和地區實地考察,參觀當 地的聲學技術,以加強會員對最新聲學技術的應用知識,如訪問海外研究機構及參加海外會議等,促進知識和經驗交流。過去幾年,曾先後訪問中國內地多個省市如 北京、上海、青島、廣州、海南等,又前赴日本、韓國、新加坡、台灣等地進行學術交流。此外,該會也定期舉辦證書課程和聲學論文比賽等,以提升專業學術水平。

The Hong Kong Institute of Acoustics (HKIOA) was founded in 1993 in Hong Kong by a group of local acousticians. The Institute aims to promote the knowledge and practice of acoustics and also maintain and present the integrity and status of the profession to the public and the government. At present, the Institute has more than 440 members from different disciplines: architect, building services, consultancy, education, government, research and academics. Majority of the members are also Chartered Engineers or members of other local and overseas professional institutions.

The Institute is a member society of International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE), West Pacific Regional Acoustic Conference (WESTPRAC) Commission and International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) and a cooperative Society of International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV).In enhancing technical knowledge and to update members with the latest cutting-edge technology, the Institute organises regular seminars and technical visits. The Institute also visits other institutions in the region to enable exchange of experience. In promoting acoustic knowledge at tertiary education level, a post diploma course on acoustic is currently organised and there is also Meyer Poon Memorial Student Award for the best final-year project submitted by various local universities.

The Institute welcomes contacts with professionals from other places and will be pleased to arrange and facilitate such interactions. For enquiry, please send to GPO Box 7261, Hong Kong.
