Investigating the influence of seating area design and enclosure on the seat-dip effect using scale model measurements

open access: yesActa Acustica, 2020
The low-frequency attenuation in the direct sound due to the concert hall seats, i.e., the seat-dip effect, is studied with the help of a scale model comprising an adjustable seating area and an enclosed box.

Issues for computer modelling of room acoustics in non-concert hall settings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The basic principle of common room acoustics computer models is the energy-based geometrical room acoustics theory. The energy-based calculation relies on the averaging effect provided when there are many reflections from many different directions, which

Preserving Human Perspectives in Cultural Heritage Acoustics: Distance Cues and Proxemics in Aural Heritage Fieldwork

open access: yesAcoustics, 2021
We examine the praxis implications of our working definition of aural heritage: spatial acoustics as physically experienced by humans in cultural contexts; aligned with the aims of anthropological archaeology (the study of human life from materials ...

Bayesian Inference for Acoustic Direction of Arrival Analysis Using Spherical Harmonics

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
This work applies two levels of inference within a Bayesian framework to accomplish estimation of the directions of arrivals (DoAs) of sound sources. The sensing modality is a spherical microphone array based on spherical harmonics beamforming.
