The propagation of sound can be effectively and accurately modelled using geometrical simulation techniques. Traditional techniques, such as ray tracing and radiosity, generate energy decay responses that characterize acoustic interactions […]

The optoacoustic effect describes the creation of sound by means of radiation, mainly through the effects of differing temperature inside a target material. The full physical mechanisms behind the phenomenom […]

Children spend much of their day in classrooms where understanding speech is often challenged by background noise . This thesis reanalyzes data from two studies to investigate how efficiently primary […]

Für Simulationen in der Raumakustik fehlen bislang umfassende Datensätze zu Streugraden unterschiedlicher Oberflächen und Anordnungen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Datenbank zu entwickeln, die Streugrade sowie die zugehörigen Metadaten […]

The combination of modern signal processing and loudspeaker development enables sound reproduction close to reality. Even though the loudspeaker system exhibits most distortions in terms of amplitude and phase response, […]

The balance between spectral resolution and physical accuracy is a central aspect for the design of real time path based auralization systems. The main problem is that reducing frequency resolution […]
