 Mr. Spence is a Senior Engineer at Noise Control
Engineering, Inc. He joined NCE in 2001. Mr. Spence has been the principle investigator and project manager on many
projects of varying scope, ranging from airborne noise and vibration predictions and measurements on Platform Supply
Vessels, Offshore Patrol Vessels, military vessels, Research Vessels, and other commercial vessels, to predictions and
measurements of acoustical performance for underwater noise treatments. Mr. Spence was the principle investigator for a
year-long study into methods of reducing underwater sound from all oil and gas industry activities including seismic
exploration, pile driving, explosives, vessels, platforms, and other operations. Mr. Spence is the product manager and
primary customer liaison for NCE's Designer-NOISE™ prediction software and is responsible for programming updates. Mr.
Spence is the lead engineer on many projects when Finite Element Analysis is required in order to predict modal behavior
and forced responses on various structures, ranging from machinery foundations to entire vessels. Mr. Spence has also
been involved in other specialized projects including high frequency vibration testing (2 kHz to 60 kHz) of an
underwater transducer array, testing and development of new absorption/cladding materials, and bow thruster induced
vibration on a cruise ship.
Prior to his work at NCE, Mr. Spence was a Senior Transducer Engineer at Boston Acoustics where he was responsible
for the design and manufacture of new transducers for high-end audio applications. Mr. Spence has also had the
opportunity to design isolated rooms for music practice spaces and has consulted others on the techniques involved. He
holds a BSME from University of Rochester and a MS in Acoustics from Boston University. He is a member of Institute of
Noise Control Engineers (INCE) and (AES).
Specialty: FEA, SEA, and noise modeling, noise and vibration measurements
