Two PhD graduates in the Building Acoustics team!
This spring, two PhD students of the Building Acoustics team have successfully defended their PhD thesis! Michail Terzakis graduated with the thesis Outdoor-to-Indoor Sound Propagation Models for Noise Exposure StudiesMichail’s research presents a comprehensive framework for predicting indoor environmental noise levels, with a strong focus on how noise transmits from outdoor to indoor spaces. His…

Universiteit van Nederland video on Noise-Cancelling with Silvin Willemsen
In a world full of noise, we increasingly look for peace and quiet. Noise-cancelling headphones seem to be the perfect solution: at the touch of a button, all ambient noise disappears. But how does this magic actually work, and is it healthy to constantly cut yourself off from the world? Silvin Willemsen, explains how all…

Paper on in situ acoustic characterization of a perforated panel on a cavity
One of the key challenges in room acoustics is accurately characterizing materials in situ—especially when traditional lab measurements aren’t feasible. This is particularly true for systems with perforated facings, which are commonly used but difficult to analyze outside controlled environments. Our latest research tackles this issue. We present a novel method for in situ characterization of rigidly-backed porous materials behind rigid perforated…

Sound radiation and transmission in buildings using the time-domain nodal discontinuous Galerkin method
📚 New Paper Alert! We are happy to share our latest research paper, where we explore innovative solutions for challenging vibroacoustic problems using the time-domain nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. This study addresses two key problems: – Impact Sound Radiation: We examine the sound radiation from a rectangular floor into a cuboid room, assessing normalized sound pressure…

Hybrid model for room acoustics
🔊 Exciting research alert! We’ve developed a hybrid model for room acoustics that bridges the gap between different modeling techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of how sound behaves in various environments. Our approach combines three methods:– Image Source Method for high-frequency sound reflections.– Acoustic Diffusion Equation for transitioning to a more diffused sound field at high…
