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 situāespecially 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
š 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…
