Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex Soundscapes

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces ...

The noises of modernist form: Dos passos, hurston, and the soundscapes of modernity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper argues that the sounds and noises of modernity are not merely privileged objects of representation of a literary modernism that has developed a refined sensorium for the new shapes and structures of an acoustic environment deeply affected by ...

Classifying urban public spaces according to their soundscape

open access: yes, 2019
Cities are composed of many types of outdoor spaces, each with their distinct soundscape. Some of these soundscapes can be extraordinary, others are often less memorable.

Environmental Noise in Intensive Care Units: Occupational Exposure, Nurse Well‐Being and Care Quality—A Mixed‐Methods Study

open access: yesNursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Noise pollution in intensive care units (ICUs) is a pervasive occupational exposure that may affect nurses' well‐being, patient safety and quality of care. Aim To examine ICU nurses' perceptions and experiences of noise pollution and explore associations between perceived noise exposure, well‐being, work performance and patient ...

An examination of the role of sound in defining the city in the context of Edinburgh

open access: yes, 2014
The surfeit of generic and place-specific sounds that exist in the urban environment contribute to what has been referred to as the soundscape. Within the built environment sound has the potential to create thresholds and acoustic territories that define

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Prediction of Electric Toothbrush Acoustic Comfort Using a Lightweight Dual‐Branch CNN With Psychoacoustic‐Spectral Cross‐Attention Fusion

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
A lightweight dual‐branch neural network with cross‐attention fusion (LDCNN‐CF) integrates Mel‐spectrograms with psychoacoustic parameters to predict electric toothbrush acoustic comfort. The model achieves human‐like accuracy (MAE = 0.82, R2 = 0.84) with only 0.42 M parameters and identifies roughness as the dominant predictor of discomfort.
