The efficiency of sound irradiance in structure has direct relation with its vibratory movement. Dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) are a low cost viable option for reducing vibrations in passive ...

Sennheiser’s SoundProtex Plus earplugs are the logical conclusion to the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach other generic-fit earplugs tend to take. In the box, you’ll find three sizes of eartip and four ...

Australian ecologists from Flinders University use eco-acoustics to study soil biodiversity, discovering that soundscapes in soils vary with the presence and activity of various invertebrates.

Abstract: Ultrasound tomography is an emerging imaging modality that uses the transmission of ultrasound through tissue to reconstruct images of its mechanical properties. Initially, ray-based methods ...

EDITOR’S NOTE: The grassy berms in Brooklyn Bridge Park are one of the magical details that help make BBP so special. Designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates to serve as “sound attenuation ...

Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. Space is a vacuum, lacking the matter to carry sound waves. No sound in space means no echoes. While a near-perfect vacuum, some sounds can be ...

Constant city noise has been linked to long-term health problems, but it's hard to keep out of homes and businesses; low-frequency sounds such as traffic and construction propagate easily through ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose an efficient sound propagation and remapping technique based on geometry to enhance immersive sound effects in virtual environments, and suggest a method to ...
