Several industry leaders and governmental agencies are currently investigating the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or ‘drones’ as commonly known, for an ever-growing number of applications from blue light services to parcel delivery. For the... Read More about Effects of a hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on urban soundscapes perception.

Influence of sound reflection on aircraft directivity and lateral attenuation on the ground (2019)
Presentation / Conference
lateral attenuation on the ground. Presented at Internoise 2019, Noise Control for a Better Environment, Madrid, Spain

The calculation of the lateral attenuation correction for computing aircraft noise
footprints on the ground, as proposed by Doc29 and AIR5662, is based on
semiempirical methods not suitable for accounting for the particular
characteristics of some... Read More about Influence of sound reflection on aircraft directivity and lateral attenuation on the ground.

Psychoacoustic Characterisation of a Small Fixed-pitch Quadcopter (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Torija Martinez, A., Self, R., & Lawrence, J. (2019, June). Psychoacoustic Characterisation of a Small Fixed-pitch Quadcopter. Presented at Internoise 2019, Noise Control for a Better Environment, Madrid, Spain

In this study, a series of acoustic measurements were taken on a small fixed-pitch quadcopter, both in a controlled indoor acoustic environment and while flying outdoors. At controlled indoor conditions, audio signatures were recorded with the quadco... Read More about Psychoacoustic Characterisation of a Small Fixed-pitch Quadcopter.
