Acoustic comfort in a residential apartment subjected to noise from nearby commercial kitchen refrigeration compressor
(2017)With the urban trends towards higher density living and “mixed-use” developments, commercial premises are increasingly being located in close proximity to residential dwellings. Restaurants, cafeteria, bar & bistro and ... -
Active control of sound transmission through a hole in a large thick wall
(2017)Holes in walls of enclosures or buildings are often the weak link in the chain of sound insulation. This paper in-troduces an analytical model to calculate the sound transmission from a baffled rectangular hole based on ... -
Application of FAMPRADOP (“Far-range Analytical Model for the Pressure Radiated from a Driven Offshore Pile”) to the far-range cases of the COMPILE 2014 Workshop
(2017)The cases considered by the COMPILE 2014 workshop in Hamburg defined a pile (length 25 m), a shallow-water environment (depth 10 m), the pile’s vertical position in it, and a force waveform on the pile head. It also defined ... -
Building a university music facility in a reused printery building
(2017)In 2015 Western Sydney University embarked on a project to refit two existing buildings to create a new music precinct. The building housing the recording facilities previously accommodated the University's printery, ... -
Classification of active sonar echoes using a one-class classification technique
(2017)A typical approach to data classification based on machine learning algorithms is binary classification. This in-volves the classifier to be trained using representative data sets provided from two object classes. In ... -
Comparison of ceiling absorption placement configurations in a corridor
(2017)It is generally acknowledged that speech related noise is a common distractor in many work environments, e.g., open-plan offices. There are many studies and some standards that address these noise related issues, but they ... -
Determinants of annoyance from humming sound as indicator of low frequency noise.
(2017)The level of concern and health complaints related to low frequency noise (LFN) seems to be increasing, not only in the Netherlands, but also at international level. There is evidence suggesting an association between LFN ... -
Development of a standardised test for comparing pool isolation systems
(2017)Pools in apartments and hotels are commonly isolated from the building structure to ensure noise and vibration from a pool is not transmitted to surrounding spaces. Currently no standardised test exists to compare the ... -
An equivalent fluid representation of a layered elastic seafloor for acoustic propagation modelling
(2017)Modelling range dependent sound propagation over layered elastic seafloors with high shear speeds has proved to be a difficult problem for many widely used under water acoustic sound propagation models. Recent research and ...
