Mechanical Filter-Based Differential Pressure Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot Infrasound Sensor
A differential pressure fiber optic infrasound sensor based on a mechanical filter was developed, for the detection of infrasound within the frequency range of 0.01--1 Hz.

Measurement and characterization of infrasound from a tornado producing storm [PDF]
A hail-producing supercell on 11 May 2017 produced a small (EFU) tornado near Perkins, Oklahoma (35.97, -97.04) at 2013 UTC. Two infrasound microphones with a 59-m separation and a regional Doppler radar station were located 18.7 km and 70 km from the tornado, respectively. Elevated infrasound levels were observed starting 7 minutes before the verified

Effects of infrasound on the perception of a low-frequency sound
The study investigated the effects of an 8 Hz infrasound sinusoid, presented at a sensation level (SL) of 9 decibels (dB), on the detection of i) a 64 Hz pure tone and ii) an 8 Hz sinusoidal amplitude modulation imposed on a 64 Hz sinusoidal carrier ...

Infrasound as a Cue for Seabird Navigation
Seabirds are amongst the most mobile of all animal species and spend large amounts of their lives at sea. They cross vast areas of ocean that appear superficially featureless, and our understanding of the mechanisms that they use for navigation remains ...

Estimating tropospheric and stratospheric winds using infrasound from explosions [PDF]
The receiver-to-source backazimuth of atmospheric infrasound signals is biased when cross-winds are present along the propagation path. Infrasound from 598 surface explosions from over 30 years in northern Finland is measured with high spatial resolution on an array 178 km almost due North.

Gharial acoustic signaling: Novel underwater pops are temporally based, context-dependent, seasonally stable, male-specific, and individually distinctive. [PDF]
Male gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) produce loud underwater POPs by rapid jaw clapping 1–3×. POPs are temporally based, context‐dependent, seasonally stable, and individually distinctive. The bulbous, cartilaginous “ghara” atop the snout is a sexually dimorphic unique feature.

Infrasound of a Wind Turbine Reanalyzed as Power Spectrum and Power Spectral Density [PDF]
The infrasound levels due to the blade-tower interaction generated by a wind turbine in the publication by Pilger and Ceranna (JSV, Vol. 388, pp. 188-200, 2017) have to be corrected to be interpreted as sound pressure level. Also, the electrical power of the wind turbine should be corrected for the high wind case to 660 kW.

Graphene Aerogels for Ultrabroadband Thermoacoustics [PDF]
Sound is usually generated in a medium by an electromechanical vibrating structure. The geometrical size and inertia of the structure set the frequency cutoff in the sound-transduction mechanism and, often, different vibrating structures are necessary to cover the whole range from infrasound to ultrasound.

Acoustic Rocket Signatures Collected by Smartphones
Rockets generate complex acoustic signatures that can be detected over a thousand kilometers from their source. While many far-field acoustic rocket signatures have been collected and released to the public, very few signatures collected at distances ...
