• Aeroacoustic prediction for cooling fan using convolution quadrature boundary element method September 15, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1912-1921, September 2021. A computational method to predict the aeroacoustic sound produced by the interaction between fluid and moving body is developed, then applied to the problem of aerodynamic noise radiation from an engine cooling fan. The flow field is computed using […]

• An integrated underwater soundscape analysis in the Bering Strait region September 15, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1883-1896, September 2021. Rapid changes in the Arctic from shifting climate and human use patterns are affecting previously reported distributions and movements of marine mammals. The underwater soundscape, a key component of marine mammal habitats, is also changing. This study integrates acoustic […]

• Acoustic characterisation of string instruments by internal cavity measurements September 15, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1922-1933, September 2021. The use of internal cavity sound measurements to characterise the acoustic properties of any hollow-bodied string instrument is described using the violin family as an example. Measurements are described using inexpensive sub-miniature electret microphones as sensors for the impact […]

• Polarization of ocean acoustic normal modes September 15, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1897-1911, September 2021. In ocean acoustics, shallow water propagation is conveniently described using normal mode propagation. This article proposes a framework to describe the polarization of normal modes, as measured using a particle velocity sensor in the water column. To do so, […]

• Auditory memory for random time patterns in cochlear implant listeners September 15, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1934-1944, September 2021. Learning about new sounds is essential for cochlear-implant and normal-hearing listeners alike, with the additional challenge for implant listeners that spectral resolution is severely degraded. Here, a task measuring the rapid learning of slow or fast stochastic temporal sequences […]

• Use of the filtered-x least-mean-squares algorithm to adapt personal sound zones in a car cabin September 14, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1779-1793, September 2021. One of the main fields of application of personal sound zones (PSZs) is the car industry. PSZ systems are usually designed assuming that the acoustic environment is not changing. However, due to variability in the car cabin's acoustic conditions, […]

• A war of coefficients or a meaningless wrangle over practical unessentials? September 14, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page R5-R6, September 2021. The Reflections series takes a look back on historical articles from The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America that have had a significant impact on the science and practice of acoustics.

• Predicting and classifying Japanese singleton and geminate consonants using logarithmic duration September 14, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1830-1843, September 2021. To clarify the acoustic variables for predicting and classifying Japanese singleton and geminate consonants, raw and logarithmic durations of the consonants and their related segments were examined using 12 minimal pair words that were pronounced in a carrier sentence […]

• Seal bomb explosion sound source characterization September 14, 2021
  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 1821-1829, September 2021. Small explosive charges, called seal bombs, used by commercial fisheries to deter marine mammals from depredation and accidental bycatch during fishing operations, produce high level sounds that may negatively impact nearby animals. Seal bombs were exploded underwater and recorded […]
