  Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation
which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms
in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev
damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems
we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite
temperature. The isothermal compressibility of a uniform gas is also discussed.
