There is no formal education in Acoustics in Switzerland. Therefore the society offers to its individual members the possibility to pass an examination for the title "Akustiker SGA" and thereby making prove of their qualification.

Regarding the fields of acoustics SGA's members are interested in, noise control leads with building acoustics and room acoustics coming second. A majority of the members is interested in measuring technique, one third of the members list physical acoustics among their interests and still a quarter musical acoustics and electroacoustics. This priority is reflected in the choice of subjects treated at the society's events, but other fields and applications of acoustics are neclected neither: hearing aid technology (with well-known manufacturers in Switzerland), hearing conservation at working places and during leisure time activities (Switzerland having a nation-wide legislation with sound level limits for concerts and discotheques), active noise control, speech intelligibility in churches to name but a few. For audio-related topics such as transducers, hearing or room acoustics, SGA cooperates with the Swiss section of the Audio Engineering Society AES. A joint meeting on a subject of common interest is held every year.
