Jack Freytag began his acoustical consulting career in the early 1970’s with Robin M. Towne & Associates in Seattle, Washington, where he worked on one of the first airport noise projects for Sea-Tac Airport. He then received a scholarship to the graduate engineering pro- gram at Stanford University
at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)–Stanford Joint Institute for Aeroacoustics where he conducted laboratory and theoretical studies at nearby NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffett Field. Upon gradua- tion he joined The Bechtel Group where he worked for ten years, initially on industrial noise control projects but then in engineering management for large facilities worldwide (prin- cipally on a synthetic gasoline project in New Zealand). Other assignments included venture capital analyst, comput- er-aided design and drafting (CADD) manager and Executive Assistant to the President of Bechtel Petroleum. In 1985 he returned to acoustical consulting as a Director at Charles M. Salter Associates in San Francisco for twenty years and then for two years as a Director at Harris Miller Miller & Hanson in Newport Beach, California. He has managed more than forty sound insulation projects around
airports. Recently Jack established his independent acousti- cal consulting practice, Freytag & Associates, LLC, in Newport Beach.
Paul D. Schomer received degrees in Electrical Engineer- ing, specializing in acoustics for both his M.S. (Berkeley- 1966) and his Ph.D. (Illinois- 1971). He has extensive experi- ence, publications, and patents in the areas of environmental noise and its assessment, human and community response to noise, instrumen- tation and methodology for
the measurement and monitoring of noise, architectural acoustics, and acoustical measurements of building parame- ters. He is a consultant to industry and government, an adjunct Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Acoustics) and member of the graduate faculty of the University of Illinois, and a research leader in acoustics. His recognition by his peers as an international leader in the area of environmen- tal noise is demonstrated by his chapters in reference books, his over 35 refereed publications, his leadership in Standards organizations and professional societies, and his awards and honors. Dr. Schomer is the Standards Director for the Acoustical Society of America.
