    „Wenn die uns die Hotels nehmen, dann nehmen wir denen die Stadien!“ Der Tag der Akustik 2024 findet im Juni in neuen Räumlichkeiten statt. Die UEFA Euro 2024 in Deutschland nimmt einige Hotels in Beschlag, die wir sonst als Veranstaltungsort für den Tag der Akustik nutzen. Wenn der Fußball in unsere Hotels einzieht, dann gehen wir halt in die Fußballstadien. 😀 Weitere Informationen und die Möglichkeit sich zu einem der vier Termine in Deutschland anzumelden, finden Sie hier. https://lnkd.in/eMMvt_f5

    This year's 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 (April 24, 2024) motto is "Quiet wins, future begins." Cities, noise, and climate change are the focus of this year's INAD, as traffic, construction, aircraft, and leisure activities noise often expose our hearing to high volumes in everyday life. Such noise can have a negative impact on our health. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭? 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 “City of Tomorrow” of International Noise Awareness Day 2024, which the German Society for Acoustics (DEGA) is organizing in cooperation with the German Federal Environment Agency on April 23, 11 a.m. -2:30 p.m.! At the event, you'll gain valuable insights into the steps you can take against noise. This is your opportunity to equip yourself with knowledge and take action!

    Congratulations to Dr. Thiago Lobato for successfully defending his #doctoral #thesis on “Improving sound source localization and characterization with #machinelearning techniques”! His thesis proposes innovative ways to localize and characterize sound sources more effectively by combining machine-learning techniques with analytical methods. This hybrid approach allowed the developed methods to show a great generalization and worked well in diverse practical scenarios. Effectively, Thiago’s work extends the possible user cases and accuracy of beamforming and sound source characterization with inverse methods.

    What is the #RelativeApproach? NVH sound design means detecting, evaluating, and reducing noise. However, disturbing noise is often not even recognizable in an FFT. Perceiving noise as disturbing or annoying is usually not a matter of a certain level and frequency but rather of the noise patterns. In this tutorial, NVH engineers will learn how to examine and evaluate noise measurements for disturbance patterns with ease.   https://head.direct/tPasB #nvh #soundengineering #psychoacoustics #noise #noisereduction
