Microtremor response of a mass movement in Federal District of Brazil [PDF]
The present study provides a brief description of the ambient noise recorded at a slow moving mass movement in Ribeirão Contagem Basin. The area is an interesting natural laboratory as river detachment processes in a number of different stages can be ...

Review of Research Results Concerning the Modelling of Shipping Noise
The effect of underwater radiated noise (URN) pollution (produced by merchant ships) on marine ecology has become a topic of extreme concern for both the academic community and the general public. This paper summarises some research results and modelling

Optimal mate choice based on the assessment of communication signals can be constrained by multiple sources of noise. One well-known impediment to acoustically guided mating decisions is the ambient noise created by multiple signaling individuals in ...

Survey of ambient noise in aquariums. [PDF]
Owning and maintaining an aquarium is a common hobby, but the ambient noise in aquariums resulting from pumps, filters, bubblers, and other equipment is not well studied. Elevated ambient noise levels have been shown to adversely affect wild fish and marine invertebrates, and anecdotal evidence suggests that this may be a problem in aquariums as well ...

Seismic Attenuation Extraction From Traffic Signals Recorded by a Single Seismic Station
Seismic ambient noise contains rich information about the physical properties of the critical zone. From the motor vehicle noise, we extract the daily seismic attenuation by quantifying the linear relationship between the frequency and amplitude ratio of

Ambient infrasound noise [PDF]
The ambient infrasound noise environment is characterized for 21 globally distributed infrasound arrays in the frequency band of 0.03 to 7 Hz. Power Spectral Density (PSD) is measured for one site of each array for 21 intervals at each of four times of day from January 2003 through January 2004.

Acoustic behavior of melon-headed whales varies on a diel cycle. [PDF]
Many terrestrial and marine species have a diel activity pattern, and their acoustic signaling follows their current behavioral state. Whistles and echolocation clicks on long-term recordings produced by melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) at ...

Fault detection by reflected surface waves based on ambient noise interferometry
Detecting subsurface fault structure is important for evaluating potential earthquake risks associated with active faults. In this study, we propose a new method to detect faults using reflected surface waves observed in ambient noise cross correlation ...

ADVANCING ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE POLLUTION ANALYSIS IN URBAN AREAS BY CONSIDERING THE VARIATION OF POPULATION EXPOSURE IN SPACE AND TIME [PDF]
Ambient noise is a subtle form of pollution in large urban areas, degrading human health and well-being. In Europe, directives require that urban environmental noise be measured and mapped for the main periods of the daily cycle.
