The current state of the art in hydroacoustics research employs a variety of feature extraction techniques with the goal of accurately classifying a ship based on its radiated noise. These techniques are capable of accuracy in excess of 95%. A questi...
Understanding the impact of room acoustics on non-native listeners is crucial, particularly in standardized English as a foreign language (EFL) proficiency testing environments. This study aims to elucidate how acoustics influence test scores, consid...
From a strategic point of view, it is essential to protect underwater vehicles from being detected by opponents. Modern mono- or bistatic sonar systems are capable of precisely determining the position of a watercraft. In order to triangulate the pos...
The hand-held power sander is a frequently used tool in woodworking, and it is a significant source of risk in terms of dust, vibration, and, notably, noise. The purpose of a hand-held power sander manufacturer’s noise emission statement is to...
The use of acoustic liners, based on double-degree-of-freedom Helmholtz resonators, for low-frequency-noise attenuation is limited by the volume of individual resonating cavities. This study investigates the effect of the septum neck length on the ac...
This article aims to assess the performance of Nord2000, RTN-96, and CNOSSOS-EU, the Nordic and European noise prediction standards, in predicting daily LAeq24h and Lden levels (dBA), by comparing them with measurements gathered over 76 days from the...
The accurate prediction of noise levels at outdoor locations requires detailed data of the noise sources and terrain parameters and an efficient model for prediction. However, the possibility of predicting noise with reasonable accuracy using less in...
This study presents a data-driven approach to identifying anomaly-sensitive parameters through a multiscale, multifaceted analysis of simulated respiratory flows. The anomalies under consideration include a pharyngeal model with three levels of const...
Noise is defined as unwanted sound, whether chronic or periodic, and can be described in a variety of terms, including its frequency, intensity, frequency spectrum, and sound pressure shape over time. The sources of noise can be technical devices, va...
Computing backscattering of harmonic acoustic waves from underwater elastic targets of arbitrary shape is a problem of considerable practical significance. The finite element method is commonly applied to the discretization of the target; on the othe...
For some sound sources, the function of the square of sound pressure amplitudes on the sphere in the far field is an integrable function or can be integrated with geometrical simplifications, so an exact or approximated analytical expression for the...
This study delves into the acoustic environment within dental clinics, particularly focusing on the impact of extraoral suction devices employed for infection control amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The research encompasses a comprehensive investigation,...
Spatially dense operative deflection shapes and receptances, acquired in broad frequency bands, increase the detail in the spatial and frequency domains of the responses of parts in actual dynamic loading, manufacturing and mounting conditions. This...
It is vital to consider acoustic scattering when using geometrical acoustic simulation techniques, such as ray tracing. However, there are few methods for modelling scattering, and most rely on strong assumptions of uniformity on the distribution of...
Digital twins aim to virtually replicate the static and dynamic building characteristics through real-time connectivity between virtual and physical counterparts. Despite its potential, research into digital twins for facility management (FM) in mult...
The Lombard effect is an unconscious reflex of speakers to increase vocal effort when disturbed by noise, aiming to enhance speech intelligibility. This study aims to evaluate the effect of noise with different energetic content and levels at various...
Tonal powertrain noise can have a strong negative impact on vehicle sound quality. Therefore, an assessment of the perceptibility of tonal noise with respect to masking noise is essential for the vehicle development process. In electric vehicles, due...
