Recent studies have shown that the perception of auditory textures can be described and synthesized by the multiple classes of time-averaged statistics or the linear spectra and energy spectra of input sounds. The findings lead to a possibility that the explicit perceptual property of a textural sound, such as heaviness and complexity, could be predictable from the two-stage spectra. In the present study, numerous rating data were collected for 17 different perceptual properties with 325 real-world sounds, and the relationship between the rating and the two-stage spectral characteristics was investigated. The analysis showed that the ratings for each property were strongly and systematically correlated with specific frequency bands in the two-stage spectral space. The subsequent experiment demonstrated further that manipulation of power at critical frequency bands significantly alters the perceived property of natural sounds in the predicted direction. The results suggest that the perceptual impression of sound texture is strongly dependent on the power distribution of first- and second-order acoustic filters in the early auditory system.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"2067-2076"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analyze calls produced by Bryde's whales and recorded by ocean-bottom arrays of hydrophones deployed close to the Costa Rica Rift in the Panama Basin. These repetitive calls, consisting of two main frequency components at ∼20 and ∼36 Hz, have been shown to follow five coherent spatiotemporal tracks. Here, we use a high-resolution time-frequency transform, the fourth-order Fourier synchrosqueezing transform, to extract time-frequency characteristics (ridges) from each call to appraise their suitability for identifying individuals from each other. Focusing on high-quality calls recorded less than 5 km from their source, we then cluster these ridges using a support vector machine model resulting in an average cross-validation error of ∼11% and balanced accuracy of ∼86 ± 5%. Comparing these results with those obtained using the standard short-time Fourier transform, k-means clustering, and lower-quality signals, the Fourier synchrosqueezing transform approach, coupled with support vector machines, substantially improves classification. Consequently, the Bryde's whale calls potentially contain individual-specific information, suggesting that individuals can be studied using ocean-bottom data.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"2091-2101"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143700739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By introducing an error microphone array to monitor reproduction errors, the adaptive WFS (AWFS) system adjusts the loudspeaker signals to correct the sound field in reverberant environments. The AWFS system utilizes a centralized control strategy with a single processor, which imposes a high computational burden on the processor due to global error estimation, limiting the application scale. To address this issue, this paper proposes a distributed AWFS (DAWFS) system for an acoustic sensor and actuator network using a distributed signal processing strategy. Simulation results in a rectangular room demonstrate that the proposed DAWFS system can achieve comparable sound reproduction performance to the conventional AWFS system, both at the near-field error microphone array and in the target listening area. A global computational complexity analysis shows that the proposed DAWFS system exhibits significantly lower computational complexity than existing AWFS systems in various application scenarios, especially for massive channel systems. The results further demonstrate the potential applicability of the proposed DAWFS system in realistic reverberant environments.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"2221-2235"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143719922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how senescence and cognitive decline influence lexical tone normalization in adverse listening conditions. This study aims to explore how F0 shifts of the preceding context affect lexical tone identification across different age groups in quiet and noisy conditions. Twenty-two Mandarin-speaking young adults, 22 middle-aged adults, and 21 older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) participated in tone identification tasks with and without speech contexts. The identification tasks with contexts were conducted in quiet and babble noise with signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) set at 5 and 0 dB. Results showed that contextual F0 cues exerted an equal impact on lexical tone normalization across all three age groups in the quiet environment. Nevertheless, under SNRs of 5 and 0 dB, noise nullified such an effect. Moreover, working memory was negatively correlated with the size of lexical tone normalization in the older group. These findings suggest that context effects on Mandarin tone normalization tend to be resistant to senescence and MCI but susceptible to babble noise, offering further insights into the cognitive processing mechanisms underlying speech normalization.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1795-1806"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143625149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of the ellipticity parameters, half-cone angles, dimensionless frequency, and particle position on the acoustic radiation torques of the spherical particle are studied. Simulation results show the axial ART is zero for an arbitrarily positioned viscoelastic PE sphere in a zMB, while for the x or y axis ART, it varies significantly with the particle position and beam parameters. For certain combinations of beam offset and parameters, axial and transverse torques alternate between positive and negative values as the half-cone angle varies. When ka is away from the resonance frequency, the value of the torque is approximately 0.001, which means the torque is small and the particle can be rotated in a uniform angular acceleration. Moreover, ART shows symmetrical about beam center when the offset is less than one wavelength. A finite element model was established to verify the theory and the comparative results agreed with each other except for the values of ART at the first resonant frequency, which is related to the absorption of the particles. The study helps to better understand the potential mechanism of the particle rotation manipulation in a zMB.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1703-1713"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143615785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of these methods is compromised by errors in range estimation. To address this, we propose a three-dimensional source localization method that utilizes TDOA measurements between direct and surface-reflected arrivals at N(N ≥3) hydrophones, taking into account refraction effects. By utilizing multipath signals reflected off the sea surface, the method considers hydrophone position errors, TDOA measurement inaccuracies, and sound-speed variations to perform a Bayesian maximum a posteriori estimation of source localization. Compared with the traditional two-step source localization methods, the proposed method directly estimates the source depth and horizontal location jointly, eliminating the need to estimate ranges between the source and hydrophones. Simulation studies analyzing and comparing the localization performance of the proposed method with that of a two-step source localization method demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. This could lead to more reliable localization of underwater sources, crucial for various applications, such as marine research, underwater navigation, and environmental monitoring.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1784-1794"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143625160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the present study developed a psychological instrument to measure the qualities of road traffic noise. Based on a sample of contrast pairs created from third-order Ambisonics recordings of various traffic scenes in and around Berlin and reproduced in the laboratory, attributes were elicited using a standardized but open-ended procedure. Subsequently, 45 of the recorded traffic scenes were rated by 115 participants using a redundancy-adjusted set of attributes. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the questionnaire data yielded two optimal solutions with five and seven factors spanning the perceptual dimensions. The resulting psychometrically validated instruments, in the form of 15-item and 21-item questionnaires, can be used for the perceptual assessment and for the further development of technical parameters to predict not only annoyance but also other salient qualities of traffic-related soundscapes.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1587-1597"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143542422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, 113 normally hearing participants between the ages of 18 and 60 years old completed a three-part experiment investigating the reliability and predictors of individual audiovisual benefit for acoustically degraded speech. Audiovisual benefit was calculated as the relative intelligibility (at the individual-level) of approximately matched (at the group-level) auditory-only and audiovisual speech for materials at three levels of linguistic structure: meaningful sentences, monosyllabic words, and consonants in minimal syllables. This measure of audiovisual benefit was stable across sessions and materials, suggesting that a shared mechanism of audiovisual integration operates across levels of linguistic structure. Information transmission analyses suggested that this may be related to simple phonetic cue extraction: sentence-level audiovisual benefit was reliably predicted by the relative ability to discriminate place of articulation at the consonant-level. Finally, whereas unimodal speech perception was related to cognitive measures (matrix reasoning and vocabulary) and demographics (age and gender), audiovisual benefit was predicted only by unimodal speech perceptual abilities: Better lipreading ability and subclinically poorer hearing (speech reception thresholds) independently predicted enhanced audiovisual benefit. This work has implications for practices in quantifying audiovisual benefit and research identifying strategies to enhance multimodal communication in hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1554-1576"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143542430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To measure the SPL from non-calibrated recordings, where speech is presented on a normalized amplitude scale, this study investigates the use of the machine learning (ML)-based estimation of the SPL. Several ML-based systems consisting of a feature extraction stage and a regression stage were built. For the former, four conventional acoustic features, two state-of-the-art pre-trained features, and their combined feature set were compared. For the latter, three regression models were compared. The systems were trained using the healthy speech of an open repository. The systems were evaluated using both pathological speech produced by patients suffering from heart failure and using speech produced by healthy controls. The results showed that the best combination of the feature and regression model provided a mean absolute error of about 2 dB in the SPL estimation task.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 3","pages":"1726-1741"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143623486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
