Abstract:

Recent work has shown that poor acoustic conditions persist in many restaurants. Owners who receive negative reviews of their establishment's soundscape may struggle to interpret the subjective customer responses into actionable corrective measures. Therefore, further work is needed to taxonomize the acoustically relevant keywords and phrases that occur in user reviews. In this study, an open-source database of restaurant, bar, and coffee shop reviews from across the United States has been obtained. Sentiment analysis and keyword count are used to extract positive, negative, and neutral subjec

Abstract:

The sound environment in many classrooms is not good, and we know that poor room acoustics impedes learning and has a negative effect on teachers' voice health. Sound reflections in the room have a great impact on both speech intelligibility and speech comfort. SS 25268 is a Swedish sound standard for, among others, school buildings. The standard uses reverberation time, RT, to put requirement on room acoustics. There is a connection between the amount of sound absorption in the room and RT according to Sabine formula. The problem is that Sabine formula requires a diffuse sound field witch ver

Abstract:

There is an increasing interest in accurately evaluating urban soundscapes to reflect citizens’ subjective perceptions of acoustic comfort. Various indices have been proposed in the literature to achieve this purpose. However, many of these methods necessitate specialized equipment or extensive data collection. This study introduces an enhanced predictor for dwelling acoustic comfort, utilizing cost-effective data consisting of a 30-s audio clip and location information. The proposed predictor incorporates two rating systems: a binary evaluation and an acoustic comfort index called ACI. The tr

Purpose Considering that the historic city of Yazd was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and given the necessity of improving the environmental qualities due to the increased number of domestic and foreign tourists, the concept of acoustic comfort seems to be of considerable importance. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to identify and evaluate the role of sound space components affecting acoustic comfort in the historic urban spaces of the City of Yazd and its two historic squares named Khan Square and Fahadan Square.

Abstract:

This paper evaluated the acoustic characteristics of electric vehicles (EVs) using both psychoacoustic and soundscape methodologies by analyzing three key psychoacoustic parameters: loudness, roughness, and sharpness. Through correlation analysis between perceived values and objective parameters, we identified specific sound sources requiring improvement, including vehicle body acoustics, wheel noise, and acceleration-related sounds. The relationship between comfort perception and acoustic parameters showed varying correlations: loudness (0.0411), roughness (2.3452), and sharpness (0.9821). No

Abstract:

The famous acoustics of ancient Greek theatres rely on a successful combination of appropriate location and architectural design. The theatres of the ancient world effectively combine two contradictory requirements: large audience capacity and excellent aural and visual comfort. Despite serious alterations resulting from either Roman modifications or accumulated damage, most of these theatres are still theatrically and acoustically functional. Acoustic research has proven that ancient theatres are applications of a successful combination of the basic parameters governing the acoustic design of

Abstract The indoor environment in educational buildings like schools and colleges need to provide a healthy atmosphere to encourage the students towards learning and improve their productivity. In educational buildings, both thermal and acoustical comfort depend on the site and there exists a relationship among buildings, open spaces, building design with external factors and also its interior design. The aim of the current paper is to study the thermal and acoustic principles in detail and analyze the factors that impact the occupant’s health and comfort by field study method in a school bui

Since people spend most of their time in the residences especially during the pandemic, acoustic comfort has come into prominence. Many studies were conducted to improve acoustic comfort. Notwithstanding the fruitful existing studies, there is no study detecting the correlation of building elements with acoustic comfort. Therefore, in this study, the correlation of floor levels, wall thickness and the availability of jacketing with the acoustic performances of existing residential buildings constructed before 2017 were investigated according to Regulation on the Protection Against Noise in Bui

In this paper, we assess the acoustic environment comfort at the University of Sharjah after classes have been reconfigured in response to COVID-19 pandemic protocols, which included reducing the number of seats to comply with social distancing to support the hybrid teaching model. First, we measured the background noise and reverberation times for the different types of classrooms. The results showed classrooms do not comply with international standards where acoustic comfort indicators are higher than the recommended values. For example, the background noise levels were found to range from 4
