The International Year of Sound 2020 (# IYS2020) is a global initiative,
supported by UNESCO and led by the International commission for acoustics
(ICA), to highlight the importance of sound in all aspects of life and promote
good practices in the field of sound, in all areas, especially since early
childhood.
The
motto of the IYS2020 is "The
importance of sound for society and the world". The initiative includes activities
organized primarily by the ICA, La
Semaine du Son and by the Member Societies
and International Affiliates of the ICA. The
events will focus on dissemination and education and
promoting the understanding of the need to control
noise in nature, in the built environment and in the workplace.
CESVA,
which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has focused its activity on
the design and manufacture of equipment for measuring and controlling noise.
Since 1969 CESVA has been working to offer acoustic solutions that enables to
conclude the problems related to noise and vibrations and help to protect the
environment and improve people's quality of life. For this reason,
