Perception and Use of Trainable Hearing Aids by Clinicians and Hearing Aid Users and Candidates
(2016)Aims Trainable hearing aids, which enable users to fine-tune their own settings in real-life environments, have been commercially available since 2006. Currently, there is no information available about their impact. This ... -
An overview of structure-radiated noise and vibration assessment for elevated rail infrastructure
(2017)Elevated rail infrastructure has potential to cause structure-radiated noise and vibration concerns during rail op-erations to the neighbouring community. In this paper, an overview of a structure-radiated noise and vibration ... -
Vibro-acoustic sources in ground transportation
(2017)Long term exposure to ground transportation (road and rail traffic) noise is, after air pollution, the main environmentrelated health stressor in densely populated areas and compromises the quality of life and, indirectly, ... -
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 ... -
Setting noise objectives for outdoor events at the Sydney Opera House
(2017)Unwanted music from outdoor events is considered a form of noise pollution which presents a unique set of challenges for regulators when compared to other environmental noise sources. Unlike noise generated by sources such ... -
Quantitative analysis on the environmental impact benefits from the bandwidth-controlled marine seismic source technology
(2017)A new marine seismic surveying source technology (eSource) has recently been developed based on physical control of the bandwidth of the source elements (Coste et al., 2014). The objective of the new seismic source is to ... -
Performance evaluation of a shock wave-based method for supersonic bullet trajectory estimation
(2017)The supersonic flight of a bullet generates a ballistic shock wave (SW). As the bullet is subjected to both drag and gravity, its speed decreases with the distance travelled and its trajectory is more or less curvilinear. ... -
Metamaterial design for middle-low frequency elastic wave miti-gation
(2017)In the past two decades, meta-materials have drawn increasing attention from researchers due to their unique properties, including wave attenuation with potential application in acoustic engineering. A number of meta-material ... -
Sound radiation from the open end of pipes and ducts in the presence of mean flow
(2017)The radiation of sound from the open end of pipes and ducts is a common problem in environmental noise control. Examples include radiation from ductwork in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, noise ... -
Propagation of underwater noise from an offshore seismic survey in Australia to Antarctica: measurements and modelling
(2017)An offshore seismic survey was conducted over the western edge of the continental shelf in Bass Strait in 2006. Underwater noise from this survey was recorded on an autonomous sound recorder deployed in the Southern Ocean ... -
Target tracking using seabed based passive acoustic arrays
(2017)Passive sonar systems are a key sensor type for anti-submarine warfare, used to detect acoustic energy emit-ted by surface or subsurface sources. These systems typically provide bearing detections from targets that are ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Measurement of radiated noise from surface ships - influence of the sea surface reflection coefficient on the Lloyd's mirror effect
(2017)The assessment of ship underwater noise signature is highly important not only to a range of naval applications but for the assessment and mitigation of shipping related noise impact on marine animals. One of the main ... -
Monte Carlo model of acoustic response from a bubble cloud
(2017)In various sonar applications it is important to model the acoustic response of a bubble cloud to a sonar pulse of different types. In a typical approximate approach, a bubble cloud is modelled as a set of point scatterers. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
