As an alternative, we propose and test a technique to interpolate room impulse responses, specifically Ambisonic room impulse responses (ARIRs) available at a grid of spatially distributed receiver perspectives, measured or simulated in a desired acoustic environment. In particular, we extrapolate a triplet of neighboring ARIRs to the variable listener perspective, preceding their linear interpolation. The extrapolation is achieved by decomposing each ARIR into localized sound events and re-assigning their direction, time, and level to what could be observed at the listener perspective, with as much temporal, directional, and perspective context as possible. We propose to undertake this decomposition in two levels: Peaks in the early ARIRs are decomposed into jointly localized sound events, based on time differences of arrival observed in either an ARIR triplet, or all ARIRs observing the direct sound. Sound events that could not be jointly localized are treated as residuals whose less precise localization utilizes direction-of-arrival detection and the estimated time of arrival. For the interpolated rendering, suitable parameter settings are found by evaluating the proposed method in a listening experiment, using both measured and simulated ARIR data sets, under static and time-varying conditions.","PeriodicalId":48486,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80234957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

This formalism has already been applied by Diab et al. [Journal of Sound and Vibration 528 (2022) 116892] to the study of forced systems. It is now implemented for self-oscillating systems. The employed method extends the definition of the input impedance to the nonlinear domain by adding a dependance on the RMS acoustic velocity at a geometric discontinuity. The poles and residues resulting from the modal decomposition are fitted as a function of this velocity. Thus, the pressure-flow relation defined by the resonator is completed by new equations which account for the dependence with the velocity at the end of the tube. To assess the ability of the model to reproduce a real phenomenon, comparisons with the experimental results of Atig et al. [PhD thesis, Université du Maine (2004)] and Dalmont and Frappé [Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 122(2) (2007) 1173–1179] were carried out.

Two experiments investigated detection of harmonic complex tones, centered around 500 Hz, in noise, in a virtual room with different modifications of simulated room impulse responses (RIRs). Stimuli were auralized using the Simulated Open Field Environment’s (SOFE’s) loudspeakers in anechoic space. The target was presented from the front (0°) or 60° azimuth, while an anechoic noise masker was simultaneously presented at 0°. In the first experiment, early reflections were progressively added to the RIR and detection thresholds of the reverberant target were measured. For a frontal sound source, detection thresholds decreased while adding early reflections within the first 45 ms, whereas for a lateral sound source, thresholds remained constant. In the second experiment, early reflections were removed while late reflections were kept along with the direct sound. Results for a target at 0° show that even reflections as late as 150 ms reduce detection thresholds compared to only the direct sound. A binaural model with a sluggishness component following the computation of binaural unmasking in short windows predicts measured and literature results better than when large windows are used.","PeriodicalId":48486,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87464154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

This is because a reliable validation of a single number quantity requires testing for many different wall types with multiple real-life stimuli that are representative for daily life soundscapes. In this article, an alternative approach is presented that allows to test a large number of “partition wall – real-life sound stimuli” combinations. This approach uses the well-established and nowadays generally accepted Zwicker’s Loudness for quantifying the subjective loudness of sound passing through a wall, and derive from that the subjectively perceived sound insulation. Using the proposed assessment method, the adequacy of single number quantities that are currently in use, and a number of newly proposed single number quantities, are compared.","PeriodicalId":48486,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89328494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Descriptors are used to express the perception of the acoustic environment, while further subjective and quantitative measures are used as indicators that represent features of the acoustic environment. The relationships between descriptors and indicators for a particular soundscape study are often identified by developing linear statistical models. This work describes an experiment to assess heart rate measures, including ultra short term heart rate variability, within the context of the predictor descriptor framework of a soundscape study. The aim of this work is to provide evidence in support of the psychophysiological basis of measures of affect in soundscape evaluation. In this study 15 participants evaluated a randomly ordered set of 8 soundscape recordings in a repeated measures directed listening experiment. Subjective evaluation of the soundscapes was performed using the self-assessment manikin and a sound classification survey. Participants’ heart rate was measured throughout the experiment with a Polar H10 ECG heart rate monitor. Statistically significant relationships were identified between indicators and descriptors that reflect results present in the literature. However, there were no significant interactions between heart rate measures and self-reported affect or classification scores. Future studies should focus on improving the selection of stimuli and the experiment methodology to boost the sensitivity of the experiment in light of small effect sizes.","PeriodicalId":48486,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84071668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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, these parameters have been derived with closed spaces in mind, and it is not obvious that the same parameters are meaningful in an open-air theatre. The lack of late reflections means that the decay curve is often far from a straight line, and the reverberation parameters turn out to be unreliable. Also, parameters that use the balance between early and late reflections are problematic when late reflections are more or less absent. It is necessary to rethink the need for acoustical parameters instead of sticking to the well-established parameters meant for concert halls. The most important acoustical features of a theatre are that speech is sufficiently loud and clear, which can be described by acoustical parameters for strength and clarity. In addition, it is important to avoid echoes, which are more likely to appear in an outdoor environment than in a room. Thus, there is a need for an objective echo parameter. Acoustical parameters that vary strongly with receiver position are not well suited for a global characterization of the acoustics of a space. For this purpose, a parameter for the acoustical efficiency is suggested; it is defined as ten times the logarithm of the total sound energy in the impulse response relative to the energy of the direct sound. The spatial average of this parameter can be used for comparison of the acoustics of different open-air theatres.","PeriodicalId":48486,"journal":{"name":"Acta Acustica","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87887401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
