2. 6. Affect as a Component of Perceived Sound and Vibration Quality in Aircraft

   Author : Daniel Västfjäll; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; comfort; sound quality; evaluations; affective reactions; preference; interior aircraft sounds; propeller aircraft;

   Abstract : The concept of product sound quality is becoming an integral component of product development and design. The research presented in this thesis test the notion that affective reactions (i.e. positive-negative feelings) are a major determinant of perceived sound quality. READ MORE

4. 7. 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

5. 8. Sound quality assessment using binaural technology

   Author : Donatas Trapenskas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis contains experimental work about the use of binaural technology for assessment of sound quality. Binaural technology aims to measure sound in the way compatible with human hearing. For that purpose artificial head with the microphones in the position of the ears is used. READ MORE

6. 9. Sound Quality of Flue Organ Pipe. An Interdisciplinary Study on the Art of Voicing

   Author : Vincent Rioux; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; listening tests; psychoacoustics; verbal descriptors; flue organ pipes; musical acoustics; sound quality; deterministic stochastic separation; timbre; time-frequency analysis;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a research study carried out in collaboration with a department of applied acoustics, a department of musical acoustics and an organ workshop. The description of the sound quality of flue organ pipes has received fairly little attention either in organ-building or scientific literature, despite its importance in the overall quality of the instrument, probably due to the difficulties inherent in doing so.

7. 10. 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
