New approach to measure absorption of vegetated roofs
How much sound does a vegetated roof absorb? To answer that question an appropriate measurement method is needed. In our recently published Applied Acoustics paper by Chang Liu, Fotis Georgiou and Maarten Hornikx, the acoustic impedances of greens roofs were retrieved by fitting parameters of a surface impedance model by measurents on the roofs. It…

Residents of Groene Hart develop aircraft noise measurement network
Annette Pietersen, Guus Elkhuizen, Jan Leendert van den Heuvel and Maarten Hornikx are working together on a citizen measurement network Airplane noise Groene Hart. Source: nieuwkoper.nl The number of flights to and from Schiphol doubled between 1990 and 2018 to almost five hundred thousand a year. This growth has led to a significant increase in nuisance…

Auralization of a car pass-by using measured impulse responses
In our recent open-access paper in Applied Acoustics, we publish a method to auralize a pass-by of a car in a street based on measured impulse responses. Listening tests have assisted to discover the influence of the resolution of impulse response source positions on audible differences. First author is Fotis Georgiou, he obtained his PhD from…
