Ambient addition : how to turn urban noise into music
… surrounded by incidentally created sounds and noises which are out of synchronization with our momentary needs and discordant. Currently, legislating noise pollution is the only articulated solution and clearly it is not very effective. Our impression of sound, however, may be mediated and …

High-Resolution Digital Noise Mapping of Urban Environments Using the Spectral Element Method
The trend toward urbanization necessitates a detailed examination of noise pollution in densely populated areas. Interactions between architectural structures and transportation noise sources, including airways, railways, and highways, make this an intricate problem. Numerous studies have …

Sacred sounds and natural grounds: designing acoustic communities within Prairie Style and Organic architectural spaces
… participated in debates on the effects of urban noise, and even composed their own music. It considers the agency of these architects as “acoustic designers.” My work also considers the role communities have played in cultivating, negating, or preserving sonic meaning within these spaces. I …

Listening to urban sound: A mixed-method approach for understanding human mobility, individual sound exposure, and psychological well-being
Researchers in the fields of health geography, urban planning, and environmental health have extensively studied the relationships among human movement, environmental exposure, and their effects on human health. Urbanization brings about ever-growing noise problems in cities. Exposure to high …

Separation of tread-pattern noise in tire-pavement interaction noise
Tire-pavement interaction noise is one of the dominant sources of vehicle noise, and one of the most significant sources of urban noise pollution. One critical generation mechanism of tire-pavement interaction noise is tire tread excitation. The tire tread contributes to the tire-pavement …

Spaces of the Ear: Literature, Media, and the Science of Sound, 1870-1930
… listening made possible by the explosion of urban and industrial noise, contemporary media technologies, the threat of auditory surveillance, and the imposition of self-observational and self-disciplinary practices as constitutive of artistic, scientific, and everyday life. In doing so, I …

The Consequence of Anthropogenic Disturbance on Communication and the Operation of Sexual Selection in the Eastern Bluebird (Sialia Sialis)
… favored by natural selection. Anthropogenic disturbance can rapidly alter the signaling environment, and recent studies have shown that acoustic and visual signals change in response to these altered habitats. Although these studies provide important insight into the effects of urbanization on …
