Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Predicting Outdoor Sound is an up-to-date reference on the propagation of sound close to the ground and its prediction. New content includes comparisons between predictions and data for road traffic, railway and wind turbine noise; descriptions of source characteristics in the HARMONOISE model; propagation over rough seas, parallel low walls, and lattices; outlines of numerical methods; gabion (caged stones) and sonic crystal noise barriers; meteorological effects on noise barrier performance; and the prediction requirements for auralization. The book brings together relevant theories, prediction schemes, and data, thereby providing a basis for determining what model or scheme might be applicable for any situation. It also offers a background on useful analytical approximations and the restrictions, as well as difficulties and limitations associated with engineering prediction schemes. The text should be of considerable interest to researchers in outdoor sound propagation and, more generally, it should provide a comprehensive primer on the topic for lecturers, consultants and students in acoustics and noise control.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As industrial technology advances, man-made noise has increasingly contributed to natural soundscapes. To predict how anthropogenic noise can affect natural environments, engineers build acoustic models over a given terrain; however, many current models are not compatible with common Geographic Information System (GIS) software and become outdated due to software version updates, or are written as proprietary packages unavailable to park management. The goal of this study was to create a true open source outdoor sound propagation model compatible with (but not dependent on) outside GIS software. The model was developed using algorithms from ISO 9613-2, an international standard for attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors. The standard accounts for uneven terrain, atmospheric absorption, screening, wind effects, and ground effects; however, the scope of this thesis is limited to the initial three attenuation factors. Geometric and atmospheric attenuation were directly translatable to a three-dimensional terrain. Additional software was developed in order to translate the two-dimensional screening algorithms for simple terrains to three-dimensional complex terrains. Given sound source inputs and locations over an input Digital Elevation Map, GIS compatible file types of spatially explicit sound pressure level predictions were produced by this model. The model was tested using simple simulated terrains of known ISO 9613-2 cases: one barrier and two barriers. Additionally, the model produced preliminary results using real terrain data and natural gas compressor noise as the sound source. Sound maps were displayed over satellite imagery of the sound pressure level data, and a correlation of visitor acceptability to the sound. The results produced by this work demonstrate a preliminary version of an open-source outdoor sound predictive tool with the capability of mapping visitor experience.

Download or read book Auralization written by Michael Vorländer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auralization is the technique of creation and reproduction of sound on the basis of computer data. With this tool it is possible to predict the character of sound signals which are generated at the source and modified by reinforcement, propagation and transmission in systems such as rooms, buildings, vehicles or other technical devices. This book is organized as a comprehensive collection of the basics of sound and vibration, acoustic modelling, simulation, signal processing and audio reproduction. With some mathematical prerequisites, the readers will be able to follow the main strategy of auralization easily and work out their own implementations of auralization in various fields of application in architectural acoustics, acoustic engineering, sound design and virtual reality. For readers interested in basic research, the technique of auralization may be useful to create sound stimuli for specific investigations in linguistic, medical, neurological and psychological research, and in the field of human-machine interaction.
