2. 1. Sound perception and design in multimodal environments

   Author : PerMagnus Lindborg; Anders K. Friberg; Daniel Västfjäll; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sound; perception; design; multimodal; environment; soundscape; music; listening; crossmodal; psychoacoustics; psychophysiology; personality trait; emotion; appraisal; aesthetics; colour; correlation; regression; classification; sonification; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Abstract : This dissertation is about sound in context. Since sensory processing is inherently multimodal, research in sound is necessarily multidisciplinary. The present work has been guided by principles of systematicity, ecological validity, complementarity of  methods, and integration of science and art. READ MORE

4. 2. Multichannel Audio Signal Processing : Room Correction and Sound Perception

   Author : Adrian Bahne; Anders Ahlén; Lars-Johan Brännmark; Mathias Johansson; Peter Händel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Audio signal processing; multichannel sound reproduction; equalizers; human sound perception; room correction; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns and combines multichannel sound reproduction, digital room correction, audio signal processing, and human sound perception. It investigates perceived sound quality and new methods to improve timbral and spatial fidelity of loudspeaker-based multichannel sound reproduction in reverberant environments. READ MORE

5. 3. Indoor Environment and User Perception. A Field Study in a Hospital Ward

   Author : Jennie Skoog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; indoor environment; thermal climate; hospital ward; indoor air quality; comfort; perception; sound; light;

   Abstract : The research on indoor environment has become more important and extensive the last decades. There is, however, a lack of studies made in buildings with two or more distinct groups of people. This study deals with hospital wards, which are a prime example of buildings occupied by more than one homogenous group of people. READ MORE

6. 4. Perception of disturbing sounds : Investigations of people with hearing loss and normal hearing

   Author : Åsa Skagerstrand; Stefan Stenfelt; Susanne Köbler; Stig Arlinger; Arne Leijon; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; perception; annoyance; loudness; hearing loss; Handikappvetenskap; Disability Science;

   Abstract : The present thesis concerns the daily sound environment and the human perception of the same. The sound environment affects the possibility to be active in a communication. With background noise, it may be harder to hear desired signals, and when suffering from a hearing loss, negative effects of the background noise increase. READ MORE

7. 5. Perception of rolling noise

   Author : Alice Hoffmann; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Auralization; Rolling Noise; Perception; Tyre Road Noise; Psychoacoustics;

   Abstract : Due to improvements on combustion-engines and electric-engines for cars, tyre noisehas become the prominent noise source at low and medium speeds. Models existthat simulate the noise produced by a rolling tyre, as do models that auralize differenttraffic situations from a basic data set. READ MORE
