On the web page of the Acoustical Society of America, http://asa.aip.org/" , you can find links to article titles and their abstracts from their Journal. Most of the authors are in academia.
The Audio Engineering Society, http://www.aes.org/" , also let's you see Journal abstracts. Some of these authors are in industry.
All phones and computers involve acoustics. Cars too, multi-channel sound systems, acoustic cancellation of road and engine noise, beam-steering a multi-microphone array to point a null at the open window to cancel wind turbulence noise and a peak towards the driver for voice pickup. Modeling of acoustic musical instruments, with a view toward software recreation.
Electrical engineering is a good fit with acoustics.
