Wed 1st March 12:00 – 13:00. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract Over the recent years, it became more evident in soundscape studies realised in urban parks the importance of natural sound sources as a restorative resource for human health and well-being. This study investigates psychoacoustic and bioacoustics patterns of natural sound sources […]
Wed 22nd February 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract A tympanic middle ear has evolved multiple times among vertebrates, to improve airborne sound transmission. Common features include a tympanic membrane, an air-filled cavity and at least one ear ossicle to conduct the sound vibrations through to the inner ear. In […]
Wed 8th February 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams. Abstract In this talk, a new cloud-based virtual acoustics software platform called Treble will be presented. This platform has various functionality relating to acoustic simulations, spatial audio and sound rendering in virtual domains, with applications e.g. in building design, product design, automotive, […]

Wed 2nd November 12:30 – 13:30. This seminar will be held on Teams Alessia Frescura Alessia.Frescura@liverpool.ac.uk Abstract Sound from neighbours is a key locus of contestation in densifying cities where the construction of high-rise lightweight buildings is promoted as more sustainable for the environment. Neighbours’ sounds invade private spaces, impairing their restorative potential and, sometimes, […]
