Human perception and response to sound from unmanned aircraft systems within ambient acoustic environments (2024)
Journal Article
Lotinga, M. J. B., Green, M. C., & Torija, A. J. (in press). Human perception and response to sound from unmanned aircraft systems within ambient acoustic environments. #Journal not on list,

Potential opportunities for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to offer societal benefits are accompanied by noise impact risks. Accordingly, it is important to develop greater understanding of perception and response to UAS sound. A laboratory listenin...

How do flight operations and ambient acoustic environments influence noticeability and noise annoyance associated with unmanned aircraft systems? (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Lotinga, M., Green, M., & Jose Torija Martinez, A. (2024). How do flight operations and ambient acoustic environments influence noticeability and noise annoyance associated with unmanned aircraft systems?.

In advance of anticipated wider deployments of advanced air mobility technology, the potential effects of introducing new sound sources such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS, aka ‘drones’) on communities are largely unknown. To support the developme... Read More about How do flight operations and ambient acoustic environments influence noticeability and noise annoyance associated with unmanned aircraft systems?.

Soundwalking in Salford: A Soundscape Approach to Drone Noise Assessment (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Green, M., & Torija Martinez, A. (2024). Soundwalking in Salford: A Soundscape Approach to Drone Noise Assessment. . https://doi.org/10.17866/rd.salford.27886275.v1

This paper introduces the method of controlled addition of drone sound sources to an existing acoustic scene in order to assess their impact using the soundwalking technique. A set of soundwalks were conducted at The Meadow, Salford to assess the per... Read More about Soundwalking in Salford: A Soundscape Approach to Drone Noise Assessment.

Synthesis and Auralisations of Quadcopter Flyovers for Psychoacoustic Assessment. (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Ramos-Romero, C. A., Green, M., & Torija Martinez, A. J. (2024). Synthesis and Auralisations of Quadcopter Flyovers for Psychoacoustic Assessment. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2024-3272

This paper describes a methodology to generate auralisations of quadcopter flyovers from recordings of hovering operations. The primary focus of this investigation is reproducing changes in the tonal components at the blade passing frequencies and th...
