This presentation will give an overview on my internship in the NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) research department of HEAD acoustics. First, the company and the work environment are introduced. As my tasks were based on psychoacoustic metrics, I will give a short introduction into this topic. Lastly, some tasks handled by me during the internship will be […]
The presentation will be about my tasks and activities at HEAD acoustics GmbH. During the entirety of my industrial internship, I was part of the Telecommunications Research and Standardisation department. The main topic of the talk is spatial audio (Ambisonics) and the development of suitable audio codecs and standards for such signals. First, I will […]
This study investigates the influence of virtual humans on auditory selective attention within a virtual reality (VR) environment. Auditory selective attention is a well-established phenomenon that affects our ability to focus on specific sounds while filtering out distractions. Previous research has demonstrated that visual cues, such as seeing the talker’s face, can enhance listening abilities. […]
The generation and propagation of noise is an ongoing research topic that affects everyone. Urban environments in particular suffer from high levels of noise pollution, which can negatively impact the health and well-being of citizens. It is therefore essential to understand the propagation of sound from one or more sources to a receiver. However, human […]
The scattering coefficient is a crucial parameter in acoustics, as it plays a significant role in characterizing the scattering of sound waves from surfaces and materials. In this study, we focus on the free-field simulation of the scattering coefficient. First, we validate the scattering coefficient against analytical solutions of standard surfaces, such as sine and […]
There is a shift going on from manned aviation to unmanned aviation where drones, mainly DJIs are being used for social public purposes. The drones are easily distinguishable from other sound sources due to their specific sound characteristics, which will change the soundscape of the city. In order to understand how drones will affect society […]
