Thanks to modern auralization methods, simulated aircraft flyovers can be experienced in virtual environments. Listening to such an auralization provides a more sophisticated impression of annoyance of aircraft noise in real scenarios than reading averaged sound pressure levels or noise maps. For proper auralization results, translation and refraction due to wind and to inhomogeneity of […]

As a basis for potential sound perception studies in outdoor environments, the PAAD group is developing a 3D model of the adjacent outdoor area to the institute. The original request was to achieve an ecologically vaild representation of the outdoor environment, including different weather characterizations. In this presentation we will present the current state of […]

Jian Kang Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources University College London This talk explores putting soundscape into the intentional design process, by proposing a soundscape design framework for urban open public spaces, including four key components: characteristics of each sound source, acoustic effects of the space, social/demographic aspect of the users, and other aspects […]
