Acoustical Characterization of the Riverine Environment

2013
Abstract : Develop a new capability in monitoring, understanding and predicting the dynamics of the riverine environment based on the characterization of the acoustical environment through in situ field observations and modeling which are closely linked to environmental measurements.

MIR Acoustic Environment

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1996
<div class="htmlview paragraph">An experiment was conducted to measure sound pressure levels onboard Mir space station during the docking mission of Space Transportation System (STS)-74. Past Mir measurement data suggested the existence of higher noise levels than those considered acceptable for the International Space Station (ISS).

Object localization in cluttered acoustical environments

Biological Cybernetics, 2008
In nature, sounds from objects of interest arrive at the ears accompanied by sound waves from other actively emitting objects and by reflections off of nearby surfaces. Despite the fact that all of these waveforms sum at the eardrums, humans with normal hearing effortlessly segregate one sound source from another.

Acoustic Environments and Soundscapes

2015
Sound surrounds and envelops us, whether we are indoors or out, at work or at play, in cities or in the country. We hear voices, vehicles, birds, wind in trees, machinery, footsteps, raindrops, telephones, the hum and beeps of our electronics, dogs barking, and sometimes the sound of blood moving through our bodies.

Assessing the Plausibility of Virtual Acoustic Environments

Acta Acustica united with Acustica, 2012
Aiming at the perceptual evaluation of virtual acoustic environments (VAEs), 'plausibility' is introduced as a quality criterion that can be of value for many applications in virtual acoustics. We suggest a definition as well as an experimental operationalization for plausibility, referring to the perceived agreement with the listener's expectation ...

Urban Acoustic Environment

2013
Acoustic environment is an important aspect of the overall urban environment, and in the last decade or so, major new developments have come to light in the field in terms of research and practice. Urban acoustic environment covers a wide range of issues, of which this chapter discusses some key factors.

The Acoustic Test Environment for Hearing Testing

Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2015
Background:Audiology clinics traditionally employ expensive, prefabricated sound rooms to create an environment that is sufficiently quiet for accurate hearing tests. There is seldom any analysis of the need for or benefit from such enclosures. There may be less expensive methods that would decrease the cost of and increase access to hearing testing ...

Effects of the acoustic environment on learning in rats

Physiology & Behavior, 2006
Although noise of moderate intensity is commonly present during experiments on animal learning and memory, its effects have usually not been considered. The present study investigated how differences in the acoustic environment affect learning and memory under otherwise identical conditions.
