Take a look at the video in the OP of this thread, should be stimulating for those little grey cells, and maybe educational too.  So much less effort to watch a video than to read, or is that just me   :-S

Yes that is great too.

I've got the Master Handbook of Acoustics too - it's very good and goes into greater detail, but I think it's a bit harder to get into?
