On the use of ground-board mounted microphones for outdoor noise measurements Open
Outdoor noise measurements made by a microphone mounted into or on an acoustically rigid thin board lying on the ground can be affected to some degree by diffraction from the edges of the board due to the thickness of the board or the fini…
Sound transmission loss of periodic Mindlin plates with non-uniformly spaced mass attachments Open
The sound transmission loss (STL) of wall partitions, especially in the coincidence region, is investigated. A Mindlin plate with periodically attached masses in a periodic “supercell” pattern is analyzed theoretically and experimentally f…
Quantification of the Psychoacoustic Effect of Noise from Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Open
This paper presents the results of a study evaluating the human perception of the noise produced by four different small quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This study utilised measurements and recordings of the noise produced by t…
Potential Impact of Construction Noise on Selected Zoo Animals Open
In anticipation of a major construction project in an urban New Zealand zoo, a study was initiated to assess the response to construction noise of selected animal species (elephant, giraffe, emu and alligator) previously observed to be sen…
Design of an unmanned aerial vehicle mounted system for quiet audio recording Open
This paper describes the design of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted system for recording sound from a targeted source or direction with a minimum amount of noise. The objective of the study is: i) select an optimum electric motor-p…
