This paper describes several methods for the prediction of jet noise. All but one of the noise prediction schemes are based on Lighthill's or Lilley's acoustic analogy while the other is the jet noise generation model recently proposed by Tam and Auriault.1 In all the approaches some assumptions must be made concerning the statistical properties of the turbulent sources. In each case the charac...

State-of-the-art acoustic models, relying on hidden Markov models (HMMs), are heavily noise-sensitive: recognition performance drops whenever a significant difference in acoustic conditions holds between the training and the test environments. Practical, yet partial, attempts to tackle the problem are usually based on noise reduction via spectral subtraction, blind source separation, parameter ...

Ambient noise interferes with the propagation of acoustic signals through the environment from sender to receiver. Over the past few centuries, urbanization and the development of busy transport networks have led to dramatic increases in the levels of ambient noise with which animal acoustic communications must compete. Here we show that urban European robins Erithacus rubecula, highly territor...

acoustic analysis of sounds produced during speech provides significant information about the physiology of larynx and vocal tract. the analysis of voice power spectrum is a fundamental sensitive method of acoustic assessment that provides valuable information about the voice source and characteristics of vocal tract resonance cavities. the changes in long-term average spectrum (ltas) spectral ...

Since the electric motor of pure electric vehicle replaced the engine, the "masking effect" disappears, and the problem of vibration and noise of the transmission becomes prominent. This is generated during the gear meshing and is transmitted to the housing through the shaft and bearing. Thereby, radiation noise of the housing are generated. The prediction and analysis...

This article focuses on techniques for acoustic noise reduction, signal filters and source reconstruction. For noise reduction, bandpass filters and cross correlations are found to be efficient and fast ways to improve the signal to noise ratio and identify a possible neutrino-induced acoustic signal. The reconstruction of the position of an acoustic point source in the sea is performed by usin...

− This paper presents the development of integrated near-end acoustic echo and noise reduction algorithm. The modified frequency-sampling filter (FSF) provides an effective filterbank for splitting signal into equally spaced frequency channels. The center clipper and attenuator are employed at each frequency bin for attenuating near-end acoustic echo and noise. The adaptive clipping threshold a...

Traffic snarl-up or traffic jam is a common phenomenon in Puri, one of the imperative pilgrimage sites for Hindus as well as a popular tourist destination in India. Traffic congestion inevitably produces traffic noise, in turn annoying the drivers, leading to road rage. Keeping this in mind, the present article has monitored and assessed different noise descriptors in 7 different types of buses...

PURPOSE Many epidemiological studies have investigated environmental risk factors for the development of acoustic neuroma. However, these results are controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of case-control studies to identify any potential relationship between history of noise exposure, smoking, allergic diseases, and risk of acoustic neuroma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed to i...

The diagnostics of the noise acoustical sources from near-field data is considered. The algorithms allowing the determination of the equivalent elementary source distribution along a radiator and the far-field reconstruction from near-field measurements are presented. Some components of the total reconstruction error are analyzed.
