Recreating the sound of Stonehenge (2013)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B., & Drumm, I. (2013). Recreating the sound of Stonehenge. Acta acustica united with Acustica, 99(1), 110-117

Stonehenge is the largest and most complex ancient stone circle known to mankind. In its original form, the concentric shape of stone rings would have surrounded an individual, both visually and aurally. It is an outdoor space and most archaeological...

The acoustics of Stonehenge (2013)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B. (2013). The acoustics of Stonehenge. Acoustics bulletin / Institute of Acoustics, 38(1), 32-37

This is an excerpt from a book chapter with the same title in the book Acoustics and Music of British Pre History. The article discusses the measurement and analysis of the acoustics of the pre-historic site Stonehenge based on models and measurement... Read More about The acoustics of Stonehenge.

The assessment of low-frequency room acoustic parameters using descriptive analysis (2012)
Journal Article
Wankling, M., Fazenda, B., & Davies, W. (2012). The assessment of low-frequency room acoustic parameters using descriptive analysis. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 60(5), 325-337

In small rooms, low-frequency modes have a degrading influence on the quality of the bass components of music. Using objective measures to correct these modes often fails because they do not correspond to the subjective experience of listeners. This...

Subjective preference of modal control methods in listening rooms (2012)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B., Wankling, M., Hargreaves, J., Elmer, L., & Hirst, J. (2012). Subjective preference of modal control methods in listening rooms. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 60(5), 338-349

Methods to control the unwanted effects of low-frequency modes in critical listening rooms range from complex signal processing to the positioning of loudspeakers and listeners. A rigorous scientific experiment has been conducted to evaluate the perc... Read More about Subjective preference of modal control methods in listening rooms.

FDTD/K-DWM simulation of 3D room acoustics on general purpose graphics hardware using compute unified device architecture (CUDA) (2010)
Journal Article
Sheaffer, J., & Fazenda, B. (2010). FDTD/K-DWM simulation of 3D room acoustics on general purpose graphics hardware using compute unified device architecture (CUDA)

The growing demand for reliable prediction of sound fields in rooms have resulted in adaptation of various approaches for physical modeling, including the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) and the Digital Waveguide Mesh (DWM). Whilst considered ve... Read More about FDTD/K-DWM simulation of 3D room acoustics on general purpose graphics hardware using compute unified device architecture (CUDA).

Accurate sound source localization in a reverberant environment using multiple acoustic sensors (2008)
Journal Article
Atmoko, H., Tan, D., Tian, G., & Fazenda, B. (2008). Accurate sound source localization in a reverberant environment using multiple acoustic sensors. Measurement Science and Technology, 19(2), https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/19/2/024003

This paper introduces a new method for the estimation of sound source distance and direction using at least three microphone sensors in indoor environments. Unlike the other methods that normally use approximations in obtaining the time difference be...

Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios (2005)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2005). Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 53(12), 1128-1141

The subjective significance of two general types of metrics used to describe the "quality" of a room based on its aspect ratio are compared. Tests were carried out to evaluate differences between three virtual rooms that score extreme classifications...
