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, ... -
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 ... -
Intra walker variability of footfall vibration and the effects of walkers’ mass and carrying loads
(2017)Excessive floor vibration in buildings can make occupants uneasy and many prediction methods of varying de% gree of sophistication have been developed over the years to assist engineers in the prediction of footfall ... -
NAVAL APPLICATIONS OF MARINE ACOUSTICS
(2017)Both communities have interests (or requirements) that can be described by the parameters of time and space. The science and technology of Marine Acoustics, dependent on specific investigators and their focus, is not ... -
Predictors of noise exposure in construction workers
(2017)Construction workers are exposed to hazardous noise from a wide variety of tools and equipment. This study aims to determine the workplace tasks associated with being exposed to occupational construction noise above the ... -
Passive and active acoustic monitoring of mulloway in the Swan River
(2017)Passive acoustic monitoring is a standard tool to monitor vocal marine fauna. High-frequency multibeam echosounders have developed rapidly in recent years, with the number of applications for detecting and tracking ... -
Predicting and managing rolling noise emissions from trains on the Perth metro passenger rail network
(2017)This paper presents an investigation of rolling noise emissions from trains operating on the Perth electrified passenger network, as an outcome of the Public Transport Authority's strategic initiatives in noise management. ... -
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 ... -
Statistical properties of urban noise – results of a long term monitoring program
(2017)High levels of noise pollution in urban areas have a detrimental effect on the health and quality of life of the affected population. Variations in environmental noise levels generally represent a random process affected ... -
An Open Source Noise Calculation Toolkit for Acoustics
(2017)Many Acoustic Engineers today use custom spreadsheets or custom functions to perform their calculations to further enhance the speed and reliability of their calculations. This offers benefits over manually entering tables ... -
A study on partial enclosures for noise control
(2017)Partial enclosures are widely used to reduce noise radiation while keeping ventilation, lighting and easy access through openings at the same time. However, because of the complexity of the sound field around partial ...
