A modified technique to predict speech privacy and distraction distances in open-plan offices

open access: yesARTEKS : Jurnal Teknik Arsitektur, 2023
Open-plan offices have become widely adopted in various industries as a workplace environment. However, this office layout type suffers from speech privacy, which can be represented by the acoustic parameter known as the Speech Transmission Index (STI ...

Using a blind EC mechanism for modelling the interaction between binaural and temporal speech processing

open access: yesActa Acustica, 2022
We reanalyzed a study that investigated binaural and temporal integration of speech reflections with different amplitudes, delays, and interaural phase differences.

Effect of talker and speaking style on the Speech Transmission Index (L) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
The Speech Transmission Index (STI) is routinely applied for predicting the intelligibility of messages (sentences) in noise and reverberation. Despite clear evidence that the STI is capable of doing so accurately, recent results indicate that the STI sometimes underestimates the effect of reverberation on sentence intelligibility.

An assessment of acoustic properties of a large-capacity open-plan office room according to a 3-level rating scale – a case study

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2021
Background In open-plan office rooms, one of the main reasons for the nuisance of work is the noise from employees’ conversations. In order to limit it, the permissible values of the parameters characterizing the acoustic properties in those rooms on a 2-

Acoustic Sensing Analytics Applied to Speech in Reverberation Conditions

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The paper aims to discuss a case study of sensing analytics and technology in acoustics when applied to reverberation conditions. Reverberation is one of the issues that makes speech in indoor spaces challenging to understand.
