Interpreting Noise Nuisance Law: Challenges, Emerging Issues, and the Need for Expanded Standards (2025)
Journal Article

The enforcement of noise pollution laws is impeded by subjective interpretations within legislation, fragmented statutes, and inconsistent enforcement mechanisms.
Noise pollution has significant impacts on public health, ranging from sleep disrupti... Read More about Interpreting Noise Nuisance Law: Challenges, Emerging Issues, and the Need for Expanded Standards.

Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

* The increasing prevalence of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in urban environments necessitates a deeper understanding of their impact on the experience of urban soundscapes. This study presents Machine Learning models aimed at predicting perceived annoy... Read More about Comparison of Deep Learning and Psychoacoustic Models to Predict UAV Noise Impact in Soundscapes.

Multi-criteria decision aided analysis of the electroencephalograph for assistive audio mixing. (2025)
Journal Article

Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) offers novel methods to facilitate participation in music production providing access for individuals who might otherwise be unable to take part (either due to lack of training, or physical disability). This pap... Read More about Multi-criteria decision aided analysis of the electroencephalograph for assistive audio mixing..

Reducing Tonal Noise of Contra-Rotating Unmanned Aerial System Rotors via Blade Rake Angle Adjustment (2025)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of blade rake angle on the tonal noise produced by contra-rotating rotor systems suitable for use on small multi-rotor unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This investigation utilises semi-analytical, numerical, and exper... Read More about Reducing Tonal Noise of Contra-Rotating Unmanned Aerial System Rotors via Blade Rake Angle Adjustment.

Confidence limits for coherence – toward a better understanding of its use as a diffuse field metric for quantifying the quality of Direct Field Acoustic Noise (DFAN) Testing systems (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To determine the degree of diffuseness of a particular acoustic field, an oft-considered metric is the coherence between spaced pairs of measurement microphones. This is useful because the expected theoretical ‘sinc2’ trend for a diffuse field is wel...

A-Weighting for All? Acoustic Assessment for an Aurally Diverse Population (2023)
Report

1. The aim of this report is to review whether A-Weighting accurately represents the hearing of the whole UK population, to explore the consequences if it does not, and to make recommendations for future research to address the problems identified....
