This year’s inter-noise conference took place from August 21st to 24th in Glasgow, Scotland. More than 1000 delegates participated in this conference and presented interesting research in the field of acoustics and noise. Highlights of the conference included key note talks by Lily Wang (University of Nebraska–Lincoln) on indoor acoustic conditions and by the Salford Group (Andy Moorhouse, Andy Elliott and Josh Meggitt) on virtual acoustic prototypes.
Four researchers of the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics travelled to the conference and presented the following research papers:
- Eli Abi Raad: Experimental setup for laser vibrometry measurements of the vibrating horn in Ultrasonic Metal Welding
- Lukas Aspöck: Differences between measured and simulated room impulse responses
- Christian Dreier: Vehicle pass-by noise auralization in a virtual urban environment
- Lara Stürenburg: Acoustic Measurements and Psychoacoustic Analyses of Ventilation Diffusers
The full conference proceedings are also available for download here.
The interesting scientific program was accompanied by an entertaining social program as well as various early career events, which helped many of the younger participants to connect with each other. The International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (i-ince) also supported young researchers by providing travel grants, one of which was received by Elie Abi Raad. Congratulations, Elie, to this grant.
