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 ...
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 ...
