Design of a Configurable Acoustic Sensor Network for Privacy‐Compliant Urban Soundscape Recordings

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 37, Issue 12-14, 25 June 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental acoustics, particularly urban soundscape monitoring, has gained increasing consideration since the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, and to an even greater extent with the rise of privacy concerns following the introduction of global regulations such as GDPR.

Focality of sound source placement by higher (9th) order ambisonics and perceptual effects of spectral reproduction errors

bioRxiv
Higher-order ambisonic rendering is an increasingly common soundscape reproduction technique that, in theory, enables presentation of virtual sounds at nearly any location in 3D space, relatively unconstrained by the veridical locations of loudspeakers ...

Virtual nature and well‐being: Exploring the potential of 360° VR

Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being, Volume 17, Issue 1, 25 February 2025.
Abstract This proof‐of‐concept study investigates the potential of immersive 360° VR nature videos to enhance emotional well‐being and nature connectedness, focusing on their use as e‐health interventions within social marketing initiatives. The research examined four key variables: (i) presence, or the extent to which participants felt immersed in the

Room Impulse Response Dataset of a Recording Studio with Variable Wall Paneling Measured Using a 32-Channel Spherical Microphone Array and a B-Format Microphone Array

Applied Sciences
This paper introduces RSoANU, a dataset of real multichannel room impulse responses (RIRs) obtained in a recording studio. Compared to the current publicly available datasets, RSoANU distinguishes itself by featuring RIRs captured using both a 32-channel

Reconstruction of three‐dimensional sound field system based on machine learning method

Electronics Letters, Volume 61, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This research enhances 3D audio system reconstruction by developing a neural network model for optimal speaker signal allocation based on actual playback environments. The proposed model, trained with TensorFlow, significantly reduces mean square error and computation time by 25.27%, thereby improving computational efficiency and error performance in ...

Improving Csound's Ambisonics decoders

, 2019
This paper describes the efforts we devoted to improve Ambisonics decoders in Csound. Current version of the existing opcode, namely bformdec1, has some limitations that should be surpassed in order that the decoders better fulfill the Ambisonics criteria.
