Tunable Helmholtz Resonators Using Multiple Necks [PDF]
Micromachines, 2023 One of the uses of Helmholtz resonators is as sound absorbers for room acoustic applications, especially for the low frequency range. Their efficiency is centered around their resonance frequency which mainly depends on elements of their geometry such as

A low-frequency multiple-band sound insulator without blocking ventilation along a pipe [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 It is challenging to insulate sound transmission in low frequency-bands without blocking the air flow in a pipe. In this work, a small and light membrane-based cubic sound insulator is created to block acoustic waves in multiple low frequency-bands from ...

Architectural acoustics in America to 1930 [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1976 The beginning of architectural acoustics as an engineering science began with Joseph Henry when he was requested by Congress to design a new lecture hall for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Henry's preliminary investigations led him to the discovery of what is now known as the “precedence effect,” setting limits on the permissible time lags ...

“Faith Not Works”: Chance Encounters and the Origins of Britain’s First Consultancy in Architectural Acoustics [PDF]
Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (JSAH)Britain’s first independent architectural acoustic consultancy came into being at the close of World War I. Given the demonstrated disinterest in and lack of credence afforded to acoustics in architectural education and the complications encountered in ...

Virtual reality for architectural acoustics [PDF]
Journal of Building Performance Simulation, 2014 Over the last decades, powerful prediction models have been developed in architectural acoustics, which are used for the calculation of sound propagation in indoor and/or outdoor scenarios. Sound insulation is predicted rather precisely by using direct and flanking transmission models of sound and vibration propagation.

Model Techniques in Architectural Acoustics [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1969 Sound sources, microphones, detection, and display are described for the modeling methods for both the steady-state and transient types of testing. The methods have been refined for excellent precision for determining diffracted sound levels around complicated building structures, and for studying echograms within proposed auditorium designs so as to ...
