Enhancing Situational Awareness in Wearable Audio Devices Using a Lightweight Sound Event Localization and Detection System
Jun-Wei Yeow, Ee-Leng Tan, Santi Peksi +2
Wearable audio devices with active noise control (ANC) enhance listening comfort but often at the expense of situational awareness. However, this auditory isolation may mask crucia…
Do neonates hear what we measure? Assessing neonatal ward soundscapes at the neonates ears
Bhan Lam, Peijin Esther Monica Fan, Yih Yann Tay +5
Acoustic guidelines for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) aim to protect vulnerable neonates from noise-induced physiological harm. However, the lack of recognised internationa…
Automating Urban Soundscape Enhancements with AI: In-situ Assessment of Quality and Restorativeness in Traffic-Exposed Residential Areas
Bhan Lam, Zhen-Ting Ong, Kenneth Ooi +10
Formalized in ISO 12913, the "soundscape" approach is a paradigmatic shift towards perception-based urban sound management, aiming to alleviate the substantial socioeconomic costs…
Preliminary investigation of the short-term in situ performance of an automatic masker selection system
Bhan Lam, Zhen-Ting Ong, Kenneth Ooi +4
Soundscape augmentation or "masking" introduces wanted sounds into the acoustic environment to improve acoustic comfort. Usually, the masker selection and playback strategies are e…
Anti-noise window: Subjective perception of active noise reduction and effect of informational masking
Bhan Lam, Kelvin Chee Quan Lim, Kenneth Ooi +3
Reviving natural ventilation (NV) for urban sustainability presents challenges for indoor acoustic comfort. Active control and interference-based noise mitigation strategies, such…
Assessment of a cost-effective headphone calibration procedure for soundscape evaluations
Bhan Lam, Kenneth Ooi, Zhen-Ting Ong +3
To increase the availability and adoption of the soundscape standard, a low-cost calibration procedure for reproduction of audio stimuli over headphones was proposed as part of the…
Do uHear? Validation of uHear App for Preliminary Screening of Hearing Ability in Soundscape Studies
Zhen-Ting Ong, Bhan Lam, Kenneth Ooi +3
Studies involving soundscape perception often exclude participants with hearing loss to prevent impaired perception from affecting experimental results. Participants are typically…
Preliminary assessment of a cost-effective headphone calibration procedure for soundscape evaluations
Bhan Lam, Kenneth Ooi, Karn N. Watcharasupat +4
The introduction of ISO 12913-2:2018 has provided a framework for standardized data collection and reporting procedures for soundscape practitioners. A strong emphasis was placed o…
Deployment of an IoT System for Adaptive In-Situ Soundscape Augmentation
Trevor Wong, Karn N. Watcharasupat, Bhan Lam +4
Soundscape augmentation is an emerging approach for noise mitigation by introducing additional sounds known as "maskers" to increase acoustic comfort. Traditionally, the choice of…
Autonomous In-Situ Soundscape Augmentation via Joint Selection of Masker and Gain
Karn N. Watcharasupat, Kenneth Ooi, Bhan Lam +3
The selection of maskers and playback gain levels in a soundscape augmentation system is crucial to its effectiveness in improving the overall acoustic comfort of a given environme…
