Noises on-How the Brain Deals with Acoustic Noise. [PDF]

open access: yesBiology (Basel)
What is noise? When does a sound form part of the acoustic background and when might it come to our attention as part of the foreground? Our brain seems to filter out irrelevant sounds in a seemingly effortless process, but how this is achieved remains opaque and, to date, unparalleled by any algorithm.

Hebbian Optocontrol of Cross-Modal Disruptive Reading in Increasing Acoustic Noise in an Adult with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Case Report. [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Sci
Acoustic noise is known to perturb reading for good readers, including children and adults. This external acoustic noise interfering at the multimodal areas in the brain causes difficulties reducing reading and writing performances. Moreover, it is known

Loud Noise Exposure and Acoustic Neuroma [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Epidemiology, 2014
The results from studies of loud noise exposure and acoustic neuroma are conflicting. A population-based case-control study of 451 acoustic neuroma patients and 710 age-, sex-, and region-matched controls was conducted in Sweden between 2002 and 2007.

A Numerical Study of the Wind Speed Effect on the Flow and Acoustic Characteristics of the Minor Cavity Structures in a Two-Wheel Landing Gear

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The landing gear is widely concerned as the main noise source of airframe noise. The flow characteristics and aerodynamic noise characteristics of the landing gear were numerically simulated based on Large Eddy Simulation and Linearized Euler Equation ...

NOISE REDUCTION IN ACOUSTIC DISDROMETRY

open access: yes8th European Conference on Noise Control 2009, 2023
This paper reports progress on the development of a novel rain disdrometer and the methods of noise reduction. The proposed instrument will measure the raindrop size distribution using the sound generated by raindrops landing in a tank of water. When an incident hydrometeor impacts on the surface of a liquid, two processes create an acoustic signal ...

Using Virtual Reality to Evaluate the Impact of Room Acoustics on Cognitive Performance and Well-Being

open access: yesFrontiers in Virtual Reality, 2021
Irrelevant ambient noise can have profound effects on human performance and wellbeing. Acoustic interventions (e.g., installation of sound absorbing materials) that reduce intelligible noise (i.e., sound unrelated to the relevant speech, including noise ...

Perceptual acoustic space of tire noise

open access: yesINTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2023
Road traffic noise accounts for the majority of perceived urban environmental noise and has important health consequences. The rolling noise of vehicle tires is a major contributor to perceived road noise. The tread pattern of light vehicle tires is already designed to minimize the amplitude of the noise emitted, but this is not the case for heavy ...

Optimization of Noise Transfer Path Based on the Composite Panel Acoustic and Modal Contribution Analysis

open access: yesComplexity, 2021
The noise of a cab directly affects the comfort and labor efficiency of the operators. The optimization of the structure-borne transmission path can obviously reduce the cab noise.

Sound complexity as a strategy for livable and sustainable cities: The case of an urban waterfront

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2023
Public spaces underwent a notable shift in their acoustic profile during the societal restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. A silver lining emerged from this global crisis, with noticeable improvements in public acoustic environments due to ...

Biotic sound SNR influence analysis on acoustic indices

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
In recent years, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has become increasingly popular. Many acoustic indices (AIs) have been proposed for rapid biodiversity assessment (RBA), however, most acoustic indices have been reported to be susceptible to abiotic ...
