Research Group, Eindhoven University of Technology
Building Acoustics (BA) is the acoustics research group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The group strives to contribute to the reduction of adverse health effects caused by human-induced noise and to promote positively perceived sound environments. The research in the group revolves around developing computational and experimental methods for acoustics in the built environment, with research areas on acoustics materials, environmental acoustics and acoustic virtual reality.

PhD position vacancy on urban sound modelling
✨ PhD position vacancy on urban sound modelling 🏙️🔊 How will future Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles sound and how will UAM be perceived in our cities? If exploring that question excites you, we have an opportunity you’d want to consider. The purpose of the project is to predict the sound of UAM vehicles in real urban settings. We target…
Open Acoustics Foundation
🌱 Launch of the Open Acoustics Foundation Much valuable acoustic software disappears once a research project ends or remains accessible to only a handful of insiders. We believe that needs to change. That is why members of TU/e Building Acoustics have founded the Open Acoustics Foundation, an independent non-profit organisation with a clear mission: to create healthy, comfortable and good-sounding buildings…
CHORAS @ DAGA
We are excited to keep spreading the word about CHORAS – the Community Hub for Open‑Source Room Acoustics Software! In the last week of March, Marco Berzborn has presented a poster at DAGA 2026 in Dresden, highlighting updates of our software pipeline and confirming the addition of a third back-end software: pyroomacoustics. If you’re curious to dive deeper,…
JASA paper on directional coherence loss coefficients
We’re excited to share our latest work:“Directional coherence loss coefficients for characterizing scattering distributions in enclosures” (JASA, Jan 2026), by Dingding Xie, Wouter Wittebol and Maarten Hornikx In this paper, we introduce Directional Coherence Loss Coefficients (DCLCs), a new way to quantify how strongly directional sound field coherence is lost due to localized scattering inside rooms, from the receiver’s…
Hary Prakoso starts to work on CHORAS
This month, we had the kick-off of the graduation project of Hary Dhimas Prakoso. He is a trainee in the TU/e programme software engineering, EngD ST. It is two years ago we started building the community hub for open-source room acoustics software CHORAS, and Hary will continue the development of this platform, in particular the…
