Engineering A World Free
From Unwanted Sound
Welcome
The International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE) was founded in 1974. It is a worldwide consortium of organizations concerned with noise control, acoustics and vibration. The primary focus of the Institute is on unwanted sounds and on vibrations producing such sounds when transduced.
I-INCE is the only organization that has a worldwide coverage of the issue of noise control technology. It has the ability to identify global noise control issues, discuss them on a global scale and communicate its findings with nearly all nations in the world. In the present connected world this might be a unique position that brings opportunities but also responsibilities.
Spotlight on INTER-NOISE 2026
INTER-NOISE 2026, the 55th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering, was held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, South Australia, from 9 to 12 August 2026, hosted by the Australian Acoustical Society (AAS) on behalf of I-INCE under the theme “From the outback to the ocean”.
The congress attracted 960 registrations from 37 countries (866 in person and 94 online), with papers presented by authors from 33 countries. The technical program ran across 14 parallel rooms with six plenary and keynote addresses, supported by technical tours, a young professionals program, women in noise control engineering events and a follow-on Symposium on Drone Noise. The exposition of 50 exhibitors from 14 countries was the largest the AAS has held.
The AAS and I-INCE thank all partners, sponsors, exhibitors, authors and delegates. The congress has now been handed to Padova for INTER-NOISE 2027.
