D4.3 Systematic review and framework for testing unmanned aircraft systems noise impact on humans and wildlife (2025)
Report

This report documents systematic reviews of research evidence on the effects of exposure to sound from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on humans and wildlife (specifically birds).

The reviews have been undertaken according to methodologies based o... Read More about D4.3 Systematic review and framework for testing unmanned aircraft systems noise impact on humans and wildlife.

Integrated U-space societal acceptance assessment: energy-based and perception-based acoustic metrics. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) systems are progressing within the European U-space framework to promote efficient and environmentally friendly air transport. The ImAFUSA project contributes by developing an integrated U-space assessment tool to evalua...

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.

Verified implementations of the Sottek psychoacoustic Hearing Model standardised sound quality metrics (ECMA-418-2 loudness, roughness and tonality (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Metrics for describing perceptual sound qualities have previously been developed from a variety of psychoa- coustic models. The Sottek Hearing Model (SHM) of- fers a holistic approach to characterising perceptual sound quality and the SHM metrics for...

Comment on "A study on calibration methods of noise annoyance data from listening tests" [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 156, 1877-1886 (2024)] (L). (2025)
Journal Article

The primary purpose of this letter is to offer historical clarification on the development of a model for "psychoacoustic annoyance" as cited by Di, Chen, Li, and Li [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 156(3), 1877-1886 (2024)], to raise awareness of its origin and... Read More about Comment on "A study on calibration methods of noise annoyance data from listening tests" [J. Acoust. Soc.

Human perception and response to sound from unmanned aircraft systems within ambient acoustic environments (2025)
Journal Article

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...
