Low-frequency immissions in recreational noiseResearch project TIFL
For the audience of an event, it is art. For the people living in the area affected by this event, it is noise. Therefore, the project addresses the problem of low-frequency noise immissions at events. -
Determining the Listening Expectations for Control Rooms (HöWa)Research Project HoeWa
The research project HöWa investigates how listening expectations of rooms can be systematically assessed and integrated into the design and optimization of listening environments. -
Investigations on the Plausible Rendering of Natural Sound Sources in Virtual Acoustic Environments (PlaNaS)Research Project PlaNaS
The reserach project aims to reserach and develop methods for reproducing the direction-dependent and spatially distributed sound radiation of natural sound sources in virtual acoustic environments.
