متن کاملSoundscape Generation for Virtual Environments using Community-Provided Audio Databases
This research focuses on the generation of soundscapes using unstructured sound databases for the sonification of virtual environments. The design methodology incorporates the use of concatenative synthesis to construct a sound environment using online community-provided sonic material, and an application of this methodology is described in which sound environments are generated for Google Stre...
متن کاملUnderstanding Soundscapes
This paper offers a new approach to understanding, improving and designing soundscapes. “Soundscape” means all the sounds that can be heard in a specific location. Soundscapes can be understood only through peoples’ perceptions, and this paper proposes using those perceptions to link soundscape improvement and design with traditional noise control methods. Decades of experience have yielded in-...
متن کاملDetermining the desirability of the soundscapes of the Timchehs of Tabriz Bazaar based on objective and subjective assessments
In the present study, in order to explain the desirability of the soundscapes of the Timchehs of Tabriz Bazaar, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and Reverberation Time (RT) have been measured as objective variables of acoustic behavior. Using descriptive questionnaire, subjective assessments were used to determine the quality of soundscape. The research seeks to answer the question of how the spatial...
