In this research, we present an innovative, parameter-efficient model that utilizes the attention U-Net architecture for the automatic detection and eradication of non-speech vocal sounds, specifically breath sounds, in vocal recordings.…
The source of the hummingbirds distinctive hum is not well understood, but there are clues to its origin in the acoustic nearfield and farfield. To unravel this mystery, we recorded the acoustic nearfield generated by six freely hovering…
With the growing demand for electricity and increasing interest in renewable energy, wind turbine noise pollution has become a more pressing issue. Aerodynamic noise not only impacts human well-being but also affects wildlife. This study…
An experiment is conducted to investigate the effects of chevrons on installed subsonic jet noise at a Mach number of 0.5 using the NASA SMC000 (round) and SMC006 (chevron) nozzles. The jets are of a diameter D=16.93 mm and placed near a…
During the phase of landing, an important aircraft-noise source emanates from the interaction of the landing-gear wake with the deployed flap. In the present work we cast this problem in an academic framework, by studying a simplified…
Modelling the noise emitted by turbulent jets is made difficult by their acoustic inefficiency: only a tiny fraction of the near-field turbulent kinetic energy is propagated to the far field as acoustic waves. As a result, jet-noise models…
The present work aims to study the tonal and broadband noise associated with a supersonic planar jet impinging on a flat plate. Five different cases are considered corresponding to different plate distance and angle of impingement. The…
Mosquito acoustic communication is studied for its singular and poorly-known in-flight hearing mechanism, for its efficiency in mechanical-to-acoustical power transduction, as well as for being the deadliest disease vector. A combined…
Whistle contour extraction aims to derive animal whistles from time-frequency spectrograms as polylines. For toothed whales, whistle extraction results can serve as the basis for analyzing animal abundance, species identity, and social…
The acoustic signature of thermal spray processes is known to vary with changes in operating conditions, which also influence particle in-flight velocity and distribution. Building on this idea, the present work first develops an analytical…
On the basis of suitable theoretical grounds, we study and propose Antennas for the generation, in Acoustics, of Non-Diffracting Beams of ultrasound. We start considering for instance a frequency of about 40 kHz, and foresee fair results…
Blindfolded harbor seals are able to use their uniquely shaped whiskers to track vortex wakes left by moving animals and objects that passed by up to 30 seconds earlier; this is an impressive feat as the flow features they detect may have…
We revisit the quantitative analysis of the ultrafast magneto-acoustic experiment in a freestanding nickel thin film by Kim and Bigot [1] by applying our recently proposed approach of magnetic and acoustic eigenmodes decomposition by Vernik…
This work presents a new toolkit for describing the acoustic properties of the ocean environment before, during and after a sound event caused by an underwater seismic air-gun. The toolkit uses existing sound measures, but uniquely applies…
Bubble curtains are widely used to protect marine life from exposure to noise during offshore construction. However, operating a bubble curtain is costly. Therefore optimizing the acoustic effect of the available air is important. An…
Vision research showed remarkable success in understanding our world, propelled by datasets of images and videos. Sensor data from radar, LiDAR and cameras supports research in robotics and autonomous driving for at least a decade. However,…
This paper investigates the effect of the geometric parameters -- rod diameter and the distance between the rod and the airfoil -- on the noise generated by rod-airfoil configuration using experimental and numerical techniques. The…
Crackling noise is a common feature in many dynamic systems [1-9], the most familiar instance of which is the sound made by a sheet of paper when crumpled into a ball. Although seemingly random, this noise contains fundamental information…
A growing issue within conservation bioacoustics is the task of analysing the vast amount of data generated from the use of passive acoustic monitoring devices. In this paper, we present an alternative AI model which has the potential to…
Many species have evolved advanced non-visual perception while artificial systems fall behind. Radar and ultrasound complement camera-based vision but they are often too costly and complex to set up for very limited information gain. In…
