Voice plays an important role in our lives by facilitating communication, conveying emotions, and indicating health. Therefore, tracking vocal interactions can provide valuable insight into many aspects of our lives. This paper presents our…

Collapsible tubes can be employed to study the sound generation mechanism in the human respiratory system. The goals of this work are (a) to determine the airflow characteristics connected to three different collapse states of a…

An inversion of the speech polarity may have a dramatic detrimental effect on the performance of various techniques of speech processing. An automatic method for determining the speech polarity (which is dependent upon the recording setup)…

Sustained contact interactions like scraping and rolling produce a wide variety of sounds. Previous studies have explored ways to synthesize these sounds efficiently and intuitively but could not fully mimic the rich structure of real…

Wind-driven sound generation is a source of anger and pleasure, depending on the situation: airframe and car noise, or combustion noise are some of the most disturbing environmental pollutions, whereas musical instruments are sources of…

In this work, we investigate the phenomenon of transverse resonance and transverse standing waves that occur within the cochlea of living organisms. It is demonstrated that the predisposing factor for their occurrence is the cochlear shape,…

Speech sounds of spoken language are obtained by varying configuration of the articulators surrounding the vocal tract. They contain abundant information that can be utilized to better understand the underlying mechanism of human speech…

The nonlinear interactions between flexural and torsional modes of a microcantilever are experimentally studied. The coupling is demonstrated by measuring the frequency response of one mode, which is sensitive to the motion of another…

Articulatory features can provide interpretable and flexible controls for the synthesis of human vocalizations by allowing the user to directly modify parameters like vocal strain or lip position. To make this manipulation through…

Frequently during its lifetime a human organism is subjected to the acoustical and similar to them vibrating impacts. Under the certain conditions such influence may cause physiological changes in the organs functioning. Thus the study of…

Temporal envelope morphing, the process of interpolating between the amplitude dynamics of two audio signals, is an emerging problem in generative audio systems that lacks sufficient perceptual grounding. Morphing of temporal envelopes in a…

The auditory system displays remarkable sensitivity and frequency discrimination, attributes shown to rely on an amplification process that involves a mechanical as well as a biochemical response. Models that display proximity to an…

Whispered speech is produced when the vocal folds are not used, either intentionally, or due to a temporary or permanent voice condition. The essential difference between natural speech and whispered speech is that periodic signal…

Rhythmic fluctuations in acoustic energy and accompanying neuronal excitations in cortical oscillations are characteristic of human speech, yet whether a corresponding rhythmicity inheres in the articulatory movements that generate speech…

We discuss post-processing of speech that has been recorded during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the vocal tract. Such speech recordings are contaminated by high levels of acoustic noise from the MRI scanner. Also, the frequency…

Neural source-filter (NSF) waveform models generate speech waveforms by morphing sine-based source signals through dilated convolution in the time domain. Although the sine-based source signals help the NSF models to produce voiced sounds…

We report measurements on the synchronization properties of organ pipes. First, we investigate influence of an external acoustical signal from a loudspeaker on the sound of an organ pipe. Second, the mutual influence of two pipes with…

In modern transport systems, passengers' comfort is greatly influenced by flow-induced noise. In this study we investigate a generic deep cavity with an overhanging lip, mimicking a door gap in a vehicle, that is overflowed by air at two…

Many hearables contain an in-ear microphone, which may be used to capture the own voice of its user. However, due to the hearable occluding the ear canal, the in-ear microphone mostly records body-conducted speech, typically suffering from…

This paper describes an original experimental procedure to measure the mechanical interaction between the tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure…
