Toward an evidence-based taxonomy of everyday sounds (2016)
Journal Article
Bones, O., Cox, T., & Davies, W. (2016). Toward an evidence-based taxonomy of everyday sounds. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 140(4), 3266-3266. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4970357

An organizing account of everyday sounds could greatly simplify the management of audio data. The job of an audio database manager will typically involve assigning a combination of textual descriptors, and perhaps allocating to a predefined category....

Soundscape perception analysis using soundscape simulator (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sudarsono, A., Lam, Y., & Davies, W. (2016, August). Soundscape perception analysis using soundscape simulator. Presented at Internoise 2016, Hamburg, Germany

Soundscape perception based on soundscape dimensions was investigated using a soundscape simulator. A soundscape simulator is a system to design a soundscape by controlling the parameters of sound objects (both background and event sound), allowing t...

Categorization of broadcast audio objects in complex auditory scenes (2016)
Journal Article
Woodcock, J., Davies, W., Cox, T., & Melchior, F. (2016). Categorization of broadcast audio objects in complex auditory scenes. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 64(6), 380-394. https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2016.0007

This paper presents a series of experiments to determine a categorization framework for broadcast audio objects. Object-based audio is becoming an evermore important paradigm for the representation of complex sound scenes. However, there is a lack of...

The effect of sound level on perception of reproduced soundscapes (2016)
Journal Article
Sudarsono, A., Lam, Y., & Davies, W. (2016). The effect of sound level on perception of reproduced soundscapes. Applied Acoustics, 110, 53-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2016.03.011

The aim of this work was to investigate the perception of soundscape reproduced by an ambisonic reproduction system on a horizontal plane, how the experience of space affected the perception of soundscape reproduction, and how the sound level adjustm...
