New research collaboration with Oculus!
In January 2018, our Building Acoustics group has started a research collaboration with Oculus, well known for its virtual reality headsets. With this new research project, we aim to answer the question: How close get we get to reality with auralization from a wave-based methodology? We will carry out this research for a small living room sized space and the research will…

New journal paper
The Applied Acoustics journal has just accepted our journal paper “Meteorological effects on the noise reducing performance of a low parallel wall structure”. A low parallel wall structure along major roads can reduce road traffic noise substantially. In this work we address the performance of this structure when meteorological effects do influence its noise reduction.…
