Towards room acoustics for an elderly population
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W., Cox, T., Kearon, A., Longhurst, B., & Webb, C. Towards room acoustics for an elderly population. Presented at Acoustics 2000, Liverpool

A qualitative social survey has been conducted on a group of 207 elderly people with a hearing loss. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which acoustic problems in the built environment affect this subject group. The project was th...

Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing
Presentation / Conference
Graetzer, S., Cox, T., Barker, J., Akeroyd, M., Culling, J., & Naylor, G. Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing. Poster presented at Speech in Noise (SPiN) 2020, Toulouse, France

In this project, we will run a series of machine learning challenges to revolutionise speech processing for hearing devices. Over five years, there will be three paired challenges. Each pair will consist of a challenge focussed on hearing-device proc... Read More about Machine learning challenges to revolutionise hearing device processing.

Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Franck, A., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Fazi, F. Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems. Presented at 2018 AES International Conference on Spatial Reproduction - Aesthetics and Science, Tokyo, Japan

Panning laws for multi-loudspeaker setups, for example vector base amplitude panning, are typically derived based
on either low or high frequency assumptions. It is well known, however, that auditory cues for both localization and loudness differ at... Read More about Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems.

The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Power, P. The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction. Presented at 141st Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, Los Angeles, USA

In spatial audio it can be desirable to give the impression of a target space (e.g. a church). Often the reproduction environment is assumed acoustically dead; in practice most listening spaces (e.g. domestic living rooms) introduce significant refle...

The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter
Thesis
Taylor, A. (in press). The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter. (Thesis). Computing,Science and Engineering

The aim of this research is to investigate the noticeable organ pipe flutter that may, under certain conditions, exist on a sounding organ pipe. The effectiveness of a pipe organ wind system is notoriously difficult to predict. For many years pipe or...
