Full textAbstract:
The acoustic qualities of healthcare sound environments can have significant influences on care providers’ ability to conduct critical sound tasks. Healthcare professionals constantly listen to the aural cues (e.g., alarms) and make critical decisions based on them. This study aims to assess the reliability of an open-source acoustical simulation tool in rendering healthcare providers’ auditory experience to enable the development of effective healthcare sound environments. The Pachyderm is developed as an open-source acoustical modeling and simulation plug-in for the Rhinoceros 3D-modeling platform commonly used by designers. The plug-in can compute various room acoustics metrics and generate auralizations by convolving anechoic recordings with the predicted acoustic signature of the architectural settings. While reliable predicted acoustic metrics are critical for iterative room-acoustics design studies, high fidelity auralizations can enable acoustic evaluations mainly based on critical listening and encourage collaboration between acoustical consultants, care providers and designers. The study introduces the findings of acoustic assessments including simulations and field measurements conducted in a new 14-bed adult medical-surgical inpatient unit at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The effectiveness is evaluated based on the deviation between the predicted and measured objective measures, and perceived differences between the auralizations and audio recordings assessed via listening tests.

Full textAbstract:
The study of mosque acoustics, concerning acoustical features, sound quality for speech intelligibility, and additional practical acoustic criteria, is commonly overlooked. Acoustic quality is vital to the fundamental use of mosques, in terms of contributing toward prayers and worshippers’ appreciation. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of the acoustic quality level and the acoustical characteristics for two modern mosque buildings constructed in Erbil city. This work investigates and examines the acoustical quality and performance of these two mosques and their prayer halls through room simulation using ODEON Room Acoustics Software, to assess the degree of speech intelligibility according to acoustic criteria relative to the spatial requirements and design guidelines. The sound pressure level and other room-acoustic indicators, such as reverberation time (T30), early decay time, and speech transmission index, are tested. The outcomes demonstrate the quality of acoustics in the investigated mosques during semi-occupied and fully-occupied circumstances. The results specify that the sound quality within the both mosques is displeasing as the loudspeakers were off.

Full textAbstract:
Worship space acoustics have been established as an important part of a nation’s cultural heritage and area of acoustic research, but more research is needed regarding the region of northern Europe. This paper describes the historical acoustics of an important abbey church in Sweden in the 1470s. A digital historical reconstruction is developed. Liturgical material specific to this location is recorded and auralized within the digital reconstruction, and a room acoustic analysis is performed. The analysis is guided by liturgical practices in the church and the monastic order connected to it. It is found that the historical sound field in the church is characterized by the existence of two distinct acoustical subspaces within it, each corresponding to a location dedicated to the daily services of the monastical congregations. The subspaces show significantly better acoustic conditions for liturgical activities compared to the nave, which is very reverberant under the conditions of daily services. Acoustic transmission from the two subspaces is limited, indicating that the monastic congregations were visually and acoustically separated from the visitors in the nave and each other.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the psychophysiological responses of listeners to changes in the acoustic environment design of a concert hall. The research focused on both general audiences and experts in order to analyze the design of the acoustic environment based on their psychological and physiological aspects. The study involved the measurement of architectural acoustics of the hall and sound source produced through auralization based on the impulse responses collected earlier and the acoustical parameters gathered for the analysis. Changes were implemented through a refurbishment condition by the alterations to finishing materials. The objective sound environment improvement was evaluated by analyzing the electroencephalogram response in relation to the highly evaluated acoustic environment of the hall and the sound condition from the existing acoustic environment. The study found significant changes in the area related to emotion, preference for the acoustic environment, fatigue through the HRV parameter, and EEG. The results confirmed that psychophysiological responses to changes in the acoustical design provide an objective evidence of better concert hall acoustics.

Full textAbstract:
Remote acoustic recorders are used in wildlife passive acoustical monitoring (PAM) and species identification. Such devices are designed to be relatively low-cost, user-friendly, weather-robust, and operate for extended periods with low maintenance. Usually, the precision of these devices is limited because most applications do not require high-fidelity measurements for typical wildlife PAM applications. However, the relatively low cost and flexibility of deployment beg the question if they can accurately record other noise sources, such as rocket launches. Such a situation calls for an evaluation of accuracy and a complete understanding of their capabilities and limitations. As such documentation is limited, this study seeks to characterize the acoustic performance of two commercially available wildlife acoustic monitoring devices: the Wildlife Acoustics SM-4 and the Cornell Ornithology Laboratory SwiftOne. We present acoustical results from a laboratory experiment and a field measurement of an orbital rocket launch. Comparisons to industry standard devices are made in the time and frequency domains and show the spectral characteristics of these devices. Recommendations are made regarding the use of these devices based on their performance.

Full textAbstract:
A finite element method (FEM) - boundary element method (BEM) model is developed to compute the sound generated by of a force acting on a circular membrane (drumhead). A vibro-acoustic analysis that combines modal FEM analysis, a FEM steady state dynamic analysis (SSD), considering harmonic loading and boundary element acoustics, is performed. The drumhead vibrates due to the force impact and the sound is emitted in the air. The vibration of structural response is initially computed, and the obtained results are set to be the boundary conditions of the acoustic analysis in the vibro-acoustic simulation. The radiated sound can be computed at any point of the solution domain. Various materials used by drumhead manufacturers are tested and a parametric analysis focusing on the mesh density of the models is presented. The impact sound and the acoustical characteristics of the simulated test cases are evaluated. The Rayleigh method is also applied to the acoustic simulations and is further compared to the BEM simulation results. The outcomes of this study may be further used as reverse engineering inputs, to machine learning models for the estimation of the physical and mechanical parameters of drumheads from audio signals.

Full textAbstract:
In the acoustics-based power transformer fault diagnosis, a transformer acoustic signal collected by an acoustic sensor is generally mixed with a large number of interference signals. In order to separate transformer acoustic signals from mixed acoustic signals obtained by a small number of sensors, a blind source separation (BSS) method of transformer acoustic signal based on sparse component analysis (SCA) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the mixed acoustic signals are transformed from time domain to time–frequency (TF) domain, and single source points (SSPs) in the TF plane are extracted by identifying the phase angle differences of the TF points. Then, the mixing matrix is estimated by clustering SSPs with a density clustering algorithm. Finally, the transformer acoustic signal is separated from the mixed acoustic signals based on the compressed sensing theory. The results of the simulation and experiment show that the proposed method can separate the transformer acoustic signal from the mixed acoustic signals in the case of underdetermination. Compared with the existing denoising methods of the transformer acoustic signal, the denoising results of the proposed method have less error and distortion. It will provide important data support for the acoustics-based power transformer fault diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverberation time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve high speech intelligibility.

Full textAbstract:
The SEA model of hypersonic aircraft is established based on statistical energy analysis (SEA) theory. Three parameters of the SEA model are established by the theory and experiential formula. According to damping loss factors of model subsystem and acoustic absorptivity of cavity, sensitivity analysis of vibro-acoustic response is discussed. The effect that division way of plate subsystem and material structure cause to vibro-acoustic response is analyzed. The analysis results show that the material structure, damping loss factors and material type have the great effect on the characteristics of vibro-acoustic response. The division way of plate subsystem can affect computational accuracy greatly. The influencing factors should be synthetically considered in the design of acoustics structure.

Full textAbstract:
The two-dimensional square-lattice phononic crystal is one of the recently proposed acoustic metamaterials. Strong anisotropic propagation of elastic waves makes the material promising for various potential applications in acoustics and acousto-optics. This paper presents a study of the propagation of elastic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals based on fused silica. The band structures of a phononic crystal are obtained by solving the wave equation in its variational form by the finite element method. The main phononic crystal acoustic characteristics that are of practical interest in acousto-optics are calculated based on the analysis of the dispersion relations. It is shown that the choice of the phononic crystal geometry makes it possible to control the distributions of both the inverse phase velocities and the energy walk-off angles of acoustic modes. The calculations of the acoustic modes’ polarization are in a particular focus. It is demonstrated that under certain conditions, there are exactly three acoustic modes propagating in a phononic crystal, the averaged polarization vectors of which are mutually orthogonal for any directions of the acoustic wave’s propagation. It is argued that the acoustic properties of phononic crystals meet the requirements of acousto-optics.
