 Mr. Fischer, president of Noise
Control Engineering, Inc., founded the company in 1991. Ray is a thirty-three year veteran working
in all areas of acoustics. His experiences include work in the design, development and diagnostics
aspects of this field. Mr. Fischer's areas of expertise cover machinery noise control projects in
commercial, industrial and marine fields. Mr. Fischer has published many articles on these topics
in professional journals. He has also developed innovative approaches to deal with complex acoustic
issues. In many cases, Ray has succeeded in balancing noise requirements with non-acoustic
constraints on space, weight, maintainability and cost. Over the last twenty years, he has
developed, maintained and upgraded computer models used to predict resulting noise from various
sources and transmission paths. These are based on empirical and semi-empirical techniques that
account for airborne, structureborne and fluidborne sources, paths and receiver characteristics.
These models have been verified during extensive testing.
Previously Mr. Fischer worked at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) and Atlantic Applied Research
Corporation. At both locations he was a Sr. Engineer in the Marine Acoustic Group, specializing in
controlling noise onboard ships. At General Electric, Mr. Fischer specialized in sonar self-noise
studies on the SQS-26 sonar system.
He has a M.S. in Ocean Engineering from the University of Massachusetts. Mr. Fischer is a
co-author of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Technical and Research Bulletin
3-37, "Design Guide for Shipboard Airborne Noise Control." He is a member of the Institute of Noise
Control Engineers, ASME, American Acoustical Society, SNAME and the Vibration Institute.
