The Margravial Opera House Bayreuth, built between 1745 and 1750, is a well preserved Baroque court theatre designed by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena [1]. It provides an opportunity to experience not only the visual but also the acoustic design of…
The reproduction of acoustics is an important aspect of the preservation of cultural heritage. A common approach is to capture an impulse response in a hall and auralize it by convolving an input signal with the measured reverberant…
In recent years, metamaterials have gained considerable attention as a promising material technology due to their unique properties and customizable design, distinguishing them from traditional materials. This article delves into the value…
Underground stations are a common communication situation in towns: we talk with friends or colleagues, listen to announcements or shop for titbits while background noise and reverberation are challenging communication. Here, we perform an…
Ensuring performance robustness for a variety of situations that can occur in real-world environments is one of the challenging tasks in sound event classification. One of the unpredictable and detrimental factors in performance, especially…
Measuring the acoustic characteristics of a space is often done by capturing its impulse response (IR), a representation of how a full-range stimulus sound excites it. This work generates an IR from a single image, which can then be applied…
Automatic tuning of reverberation algorithms relies on the optimization of a cost function. While general audio similarity metrics are useful, they are not optimized for the specific statistical properties of reverberation in rooms. This…
Changes in room acoustics, such as modifications to surface absorption or the insertion of a scattering object, significantly impact measured room impulse responses (RIRs). These changes can affect the performance of systems used in echo…
Any audio recording encapsulates the unique fingerprint of the associated acoustic environment, namely the background noise and reverberation. Considering the scenario of a room equipped with a fixed smart speaker device with one or more…
We introduce a database of multi-channel recordings performed in an acoustic lab with adjustable reverberation time. The recordings provide information about room impulse responses (RIR) for various positions of a loudspeaker. In…
This paper considers methods for audio display in a CAVE-type virtual reality theater, a 3 m cube with displays covering all six rigid faces. Headphones are possible since the user's headgear continuously measures ear positions, but…
The materials of surfaces in a room play an important room in shaping the auditory experience within them. Different materials absorb energy at different levels. The level of absorption also varies across frequencies. This paper…
Several established parameters and metrics have been used to characterize the acoustics of a room. The most important are the Direct-To-Reverberant Ratio (DRR), the Reverberation Time (T60) and the reflection coefficient. The acoustic…
A method is presented for estimating and reconstructing the sound field within a room using physics-informed neural networks. By incorporating a limited set of experimental room impulse responses as training data, this approach combines…
The reverberation time (T60) and the direct-to-reverberant ratio (DRR) are commonly used to characterize room acoustic environments. Both parameters can be measured from an acoustic impulse response (AIR) or using blind estimation methods…
The enclosed tests demonstrate that an effective pitch can be attributed to acoustic signals shorter then tenths of milliseconds. A power-law dependence of this pitch on the signal's duration time is found for subjects tested with Gaussian…
Room acoustics is mainly based on the reverberation theories of Saine and Eyring. In Sabine's theory however, the reverberation time does not reach zero, even if the condition of absolute absorption is fulfilled. Eyring revised…
In time reversal acoustics experiments, a signal is emitted from a localized source, recorded at an array of receivers-transducers, time reversed, and finally re-emitted into the medium. A celebrated feature of time reversal experiments is…
Acoustical behavior of a room for a given position of microphone and sound source is usually described using the room impulse response. If we rely on the standard uniform sampling, the estimation of room impulse response for arbitrary…
Room equalisation aims to increase the quality of loudspeaker reproduction in reverberant environments, compensating for colouration caused by imperfect room reflections and frequency dependant loudspeaker directivity. A common technique in…
