Audio Cartography: Visual Encoding of Acoustic Parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Our sonic environment is the matter of subject in multiple domains which developed individual means of its description. As a result, it lacks an established visual language through which knowledge can be connected and insights shared. We provide a visual

Shifting Syllable Production in an Ex Situ Population of a Critically Endangered Songbird

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Bali mynas produced songs containing more syllables under increased anthropogenic disturbance. ABSTRACT Singing is an ecologically important behaviour for songbirds. Syllables function as the building blocks of birdsong, so changes to their production will have implications for overall song structure.

The Soundscape Indices (SSID) Protocol: A Method for Urban Soundscape Surveys—Questionnaires with Acoustical and Contextual Information

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
A protocol for characterizing urban soundscapes for use in the design of Soundscape Indices (SSID) and general urban research as implemented under the European Research Council (ERC)-funded SSID project is described in detail.

Imaginary soundscapes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 9th Audio Mostly: A Conference on Interaction With Sound, 2014
The SoDA (Sound Design Accelerator) project aims at providing a flexible software environment for soundscape generation. Based on semantic information, it provides both an annotation schema and an annotated library of sound files that operates in relation to a generative system that delivers the final audio content.

Severe Hearing Loss in the World's First Successfully Captive‐Born Yangtze Finless Porpoise: Impact of High Underwater Sound Exposure and Congenital Hearing Disorders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.

Soundscapes and ethnographies of silence: An introduction

open access: yesAnuac, 2017
In this article I propose a reading of soundscape studies along three dimensions: the relevance of the soundscape in the historical context, the transformations of soundscapes in the twentieth century, the soundscape of sub-professional musical cultures.

Simulated soundscapes and transfer learning boost the performance of acoustic classifiers under data scarcity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are
