96 Update of the WHO evidence reviews and theirimplicationsforpolicyandresearch
vanKamp,Irene RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and the
Environment).Netherlands
ABSTRACTIthadbeenawhilesincethefirstWorldHealthOrganization(WHO)guidelinesforhealthprotectionagainstenvironmentalnoisewerepublished in1999. Since thenmanynewstudieson the health effects of environmental sound exposure athome have been performed and an update of the WHOenvironmental noise guideline saw light in November 2018.The earlier guidelines were primarily focused ontransportationnoise.AttheEuropeanMinisterialConferenceatParma in2010, theneed forguidelines forothersources,such aswind turbines and leisure noisewas emphasized. Inorder to achieve this, reviews were prepared on the mainhealthoutcomes, includingannoyance, sleep, cardiovasculardisease, cognitive effects, mental health, adverse birthoutcomes,hearingimpairmentandtheeffectivenessofnoiseinterventions intermsofhumanresponseandhealth.Thesesystematicliteraturereviewscovertheperiodbetween2000and 2014 and were published in a special issue of theInternational Journal of Environmental Research and PublicHealth (IJERPH) in 2017 and 2018). This paper provides anoverviewoftheevidence,includinganupdatesince2014forsomekeyendpoints.Theimplicationsofthefindingsfornoisepolicy andmanagement are briefly discussed. Finally, sometrends and research needs in the field of sound and healtharepresented.

94 Noise in planning and environmental impactassessmentinAustralia
Wimbush,Nick PlanningPanelsVictoria
ABSTRACTPlanningandenvironmental impactassessmentisessentiallytheconsiderationofchange;whetherdirectedandfacilitated,inplanning,or receivedas in thecaseof impactassessmentof proposals and strategies. Change nearly always involvestheconsiderationofthosewhoarethere,andthosewhomaycome.Thegenerationofsoundandtheregulationofnoiseinpolicy and legislation is in theory a relatively simpleundertaking. Standards or other criteria are set to protecthuman health from noise; measurements are made of theexisting environment and predictions of the change inenvironment made; and assessed against the agreedstandards to determine if therewill be unacceptable noise.Predicted exceedances of standards can be mitigated orprojectsredesignedtomeettherelevantstandard.Whythenis noise, whatever the source, whether windfarms, traffic,industrial,musicoranyother,oftenahotlycontestedissuein
planningandprojectimpactassessment?Thispaperexploresthe broader socio-economic and socio-political environmentaround the social license to emit sound and generatenoise.Using examples of projects primarily from Victoria itexplores our current approach to noise in planning andimpactassessmentanddiscusseskeychallengestoevidence-baseddecisionmaking.

Tickell,Colin ChairStandardsAustraliaTechnicalCommitteeEV-010
ABSTRACTAustralian Standard "AS 1055-2018 Acoustics – descriptionandmeasurementofenvironmentalnoise"waspublished inlate2018as the latest revision to the long-running seriesofstandardsofthesamename,withthepreviousrevisionbeingdated 1997. This revision has followed the StandardsAustraliaprojectapprovalanddevelopmentsystemandwasapproved as a project in 2015 for completion by StandardsTechnical Committee EV-010 Acoustics, Community Noise.This revision consolidated theprevious three-partand threevolume standard into one single volume. The Standardappliesprimarilytonoiseemittedfromindustrial,commercialand residential premises. It excludes the setting ofenvironmental noise criteria. Such levels are set byregulations or organizational policy. A number of changesweremadetothestandardtobringitintolinewiththelatestrelevant international standards and instrumentation andmeasurement techniques. This paper provides a briefexplanation of how Australian Standards are currentlydevelopedor revised,aswellasa reviewof thecontentsoftheStandardforusersandsomeofthereasoningbehindthechanges to the previous versions.

ABSTRACTIn 2018, an experiment was conducted for sedimentcharacterization off the coast of Qingdao, China, usinghydrographic systems. In this experiment, single-beam andmultibeamecho sounderswere towed along the ship track,which was approximately 120 km long and covered threemainsedimenttypes,i.e.,clayeysilt,sandysilt,andsiltysand.This study emphasizes the potential of using an artificialneural network (ANN) and the multibeam backscatter dataforperformingacousticsedimentcharacterization.Theindexof impedance (IOI) of the sediment as inverted from thesingle-beam sonar data is shown to be consistent with thecore sampling distribution,which is used to label themeanangular responsecurvesextracted from themultibeamdatainANNtraining.First,theANNistrainedtomaptherelationbetween themean angular response curves and IOI using atraining dataset; then, it is applied to a testing dataset topredict the IOIof thesediment.Fordataprocessing,80%ofthe available data are used for training, whereas theremaining 20% are used for testing. The preliminary resultsdenotethatthepredictionaccuracyontestingdatasetcanupto 90% within the absolute error tolerance of 0.1, showingthe feasibility of using an ANN for performing sedimentcharacterizationusingmultibeamdata.

ABSTRACTDiscernibility in presence of background noise is a complexaural phenomenon and not explicitly defined in scientificliterature. Policymakers often aim to control music andmechanical equipment noise egress by set-ting noiseemissioncriteriaas"inaudible"duringthenightperiodwhenbackground noise is relatively low. However, thequantification of "indiscernible" in relation to "typical"background noise is not well defined in the literature. Ascommonlyunderstoodbyacousticians,asubjectnoisesourcewill not significantly contribute to the ambient noiseenvironmentwhen the source level is 10dBormorebelowthe background noise level. Subjective perception of suchnoise depends on myriad of factors including the temporaland spectral content of the noise, noise sensitivity andcognitive perception of the subject and the subjectiveperception in context. The indiscernibility of sound in anoutdoor setting becomes even more complex when thesubjectnoisesource isof impulsivecharacter (i.e.gunshotsetc.).Itisofinteresttoinvestigatewhetherthe"Background-10 dB" rule ensures the indiscernibility to the majority ofsubjects in an outdoor context, when a noise source islocated outside or inside of a building in the vicinity of asensitivereceptor.Thispaperpresentsaliteraturereviewontheindiscernibilitynoisecriteriaofanimpulsivenoisesource,

ABSTRACTSound propagation in isothermal ducts is traditionallydescribed by a formulation based on the n2-linear soundspeedprofile (SSP)where the acoustic field is expressed viaAiry functions. The present author recently suggested analternativeformulationbasedonthen2-exponentialSSPwithacousticfielddescribedbyBesselfunctions.Inthispaper,itisshownthatthen2-exponentialSSPisabetterapproximationofthelinearSSP,butbothapproximationsarevalid,astheirdifferencewiththelinearSSPissmall.Also,verticalpressureprofiles are calculated by several methods combiningelementsofthetwoapproximations.It isdemonstratedthatthe methods involving exact calculations of the horizontalwavenumber produce most accurate results. Overall, it isshown that the two formulations are mutuallyinterchangeableandtheirvariouselementscanbecombinedtogether and utilised in acoustic propagation modellingdepending on convenience of their use in a particularenvironment.

ABSTRACTNonlinear internal waves are a feature ofmany continentalmargins, particularly those with large tidal ranges such asAustralia's Northwest Shelf. This paper extends previousworkontheeffectsof idealisednonlinear internalwavesonacoustic propagation atmid-frequency sonar frequencies tothecaseofa realistic, fully three-dimensional, timeevolvinginternal wave field. The internal wave field was modelledusingMITgcm,whichisastateoftheart,three-dimensional,non-hydrostatichydrodynamicmodel. Timeevolving, three-dimensional sound velocity fields were calculated from theMITgcmtemperatureand salinityoutputsandusedas inputto the Bellhop3D acoustic propagation model, which wasused to calculate the variations in transmission loss thatoccurred as a nonlinear internal wave train crossed theacoustic transmissionpath. Resultswerebroadly consistentwith those obtained previously using the idealised internalwave train but predicted somewhat smaller changes intransmission loss between horizontally focussed anddefocussedconditionsofup to18dBcom-paredtochangesof up to 30 dB obtained with the idealised internal waves.Analysis of more events is required in order to test therobustnessofthisresult.

ABSTRACTIn earlier work, the authors established that the coherentleakage of sound from amixed layer surface duct could beestimated for the first acousticmodewith reference to theanalysisofFurry(inD.E.Kerr,ed.,PropagationofShortRadioWaves, McGraw-Hill, 1951). By further consideration ofFurry’s analysis, is it straightforward to arrive at theconclusionthat leakageratesforanymode,whenexpressedasadB lossoverthedistanceofasurfaceskipfora limitingray in the duct, will be expected to be a function of tworatios:frequencyasaproportionofducttrappingfrequency,andtheratioofsoundspeedgradientsintheductandbelow.Basedonthisexpectation,algorithmshavebeenpreparedtoestimate the rate of leakage of the coherent signal from asurfaceduct, forthefirstmodeandforhigherordermodes.The effectiveness of the algorithms is demonstrated bycomparisonofleakageestimatesagainstvaluesobtainedbyanominallyexactiterativetechnique.

ABSTRACTReverberation experiments in shallow water showed thatreverberationaverageintensitycouldbedescribedasastagefunction composed of two proximate linear function withdifferentslopes in termsof logarithmof time. In the formersection, reverberation came from close range, where thereverberation gradient for logarithmof timewas smaller. Inthe latter section, reverberation came from long range,wherethegradientwasmuchlarger.Thedemarcationofthisstage function is not dependent on signal pulse length orsignalfrequency,butdependentonthecharacteristicsofthewaveguide. The simulation illustrated this by analysing theeffectivenormalmodesvarying range.Thecharacteristicsoftwo-way propagation and backscattering intensity bothcontrolled the position of the cut-off point. The experimentalsoshowsthatthedemarcationhasacloserelationshipwithsediment. For the shallow water with tough sediment, thedemarcation of reverberation average intensity attenuationcharacteristicsexhibitsalagperformance.

ABSTRACTCommunity, regulatory and environmental pressures haveresultedinthedevelopmentofaniterativeapproachtomineplan design. This is a staged approach that considers hownoise, air and water quality and ecological impacts ofdifferentmineplanoptionsaffect theviabilityof theminingdevelopment. The traditional deterministic noise modellingprocess is used to predict the area of noise affectationof apredefinedmineplan resulting in theacquisitionofaffectedproperties. The deterministic modelling process typicallyincludesasensitivityanalysistounderstandtheuncertaintiesassociatedwith the impactofoperational changes,machineselection and changes in meteorological conditions on thearea of noise affectation. The results are expressed as arange of predicted noise levels at each receiver location.Contemporary iterativemineplandesignprocessesconsiderthe economic operability of the mine, the environmentalimpacts of the operation, as well as the communityacceptance of the development before determining anacceptable area of affectation. Rather than determine thearea of affectation for a predefinedmineplan, the iterativeapproach requires the planners to de-sign amine plan thatcan operate within an acceptable area of affectation.Probabilistic noisemodelling is then used to investigate theoperationalchangesrequiredbythemineforthenoiselevelsto remainwithin theacceptableareaofnoiseaffectationastemporal and spatial conditions change. Aswith traditionaldeterministic modelling methods, probabilistic noisemodelling includes meteorological conditions, groundproperties, terrain features, source sound power anddirectivity,andreceivergeometry. However, inprobabilisticnoisemodellingtheresultsareexpressedasapercentageoftime that different operational changes, such as equipmentrelocation or shut down, may be required so that theacceptableareaofaffectationisrealised.Thispaperoutlinesthe application of probabilistic noise modelling for theiterativedesignofopencutminingoperations.

ABSTRACTIntraditionalpulsedactivesonar(PAS)systems,theprojectortransmitsforashortintervalandmostoftheoperatingcycleis spent listening for echoes. Continuous Active Sonar (CAS)transmits continuously and relies on themodulation of thetransmissiontodistinguishthe(weak)echoesfromthe(verystrong)directtransmission.Intheory,detectionperformance
inthepresenceofnoiseanddirecttransmissioninterferenceis improved by increasing the integration period of thedetector. Inrealitytheuseful integrationperiod is limitedtothe period that the channel is (approximately) stationary orcoherent. Exceeding the coherence length can result inreduced detection performance due to destructiveinterference in the detector. Channel coherence length isknown to be time-variable and it is important to guardagainst the use of channel characterisations that are nolongervalid.Inthispaperweexploretheseeffectsusingdatafrom the Littoral Continuous Active Sonar 2016 (LCAS' 16)trial,with a goal of understanding the relationship betweencoherence length and detection performance. Finally weexplorehowdetectionperformance is affectedby choiceofintegrationlength.

ABSTRACTBubble size distribution is of great interest in manyengineering applications. Measuring this quantity in aturbulentbubbleplumepresentsachallengetoconventionaltechniques,suchasphotographyandultrasonicimaging.Thispaper presents an improved correlation of bubble sizedistribution in turbulent bubble plumes with the measuredsoundspectrum.Theimprovedcorrelationincludesboththeeffect of sound attenuation through the bubble plume andtheeffectoftheformedbubblesizesonthemagnitudeofthegenerated sound. An iterative method is also used in thesolution process. The model is applied to highly turbulentbubble plumes generated at different facilities. It has beenfound that the total flow rates predicted by using theimprovedcorrelationagreewellwiththemeasureddataandconfirm that the magnitude of bubble formation sound isindeeddependentupontheflowconditions.

ABSTRACTCommunity, regulatory and environmental pressures haveresultedinthedevelopmentofaniterativeapproachtomineplan design. This is a staged approach that considers hownoise, air and water quality and ecological impacts ofdifferentmineplanoptionsaffect theviabilityof theminingdevelopment. The traditional deterministic noise modellingprocess is used to predict the area of noise affectationof apredefinedmineplan resulting in theacquisitionofaffectedproperties. The deterministic modelling process typicallyincludesasensitivityanalysistounderstandtheuncertaintiesassociatedwith the impactofoperational changes,machineselection and changes in meteorological conditions on thearea of noise affectation. The results are expressed as arange of predicted noise levels at each receiver location.Contemporary iterativemineplandesignprocessesconsiderthe economic operability of the mine, the environmentalimpacts of the operation, as well as the communityacceptance of the development before determining anacceptable area of affectation. Rather than determine thearea of affectation for a predefinedmineplan, the iterativeapproach requires the planners to de-sign amine plan thatcan operate within an acceptable area of affectation.Probabilistic noisemodelling is then used to investigate theoperationalchangesrequiredbythemineforthenoiselevelsto remainwithin theacceptableareaofnoiseaffectationastemporal and spatial conditions change. Aswith traditionaldeterministic modelling methods, probabilistic noisemodelling includes meteorological conditions, groundproperties, terrain features, source sound power anddirectivity,andreceivergeometry. However, inprobabilisticnoisemodellingtheresultsareexpressedasapercentageoftime that different operational changes, such as equipmentrelocation or shut down, may be required so that theacceptableareaofaffectationisrealised.Thispaperoutlinesthe application of probabilistic noise modelling for theiterativedesignofopencutminingoperations.

ABSTRACTIntraditionalpulsedactivesonar(PAS)systems,theprojectortransmitsforashortintervalandmostoftheoperatingcycleis spent listening for echoes. Continuous Active Sonar (CAS)transmits continuously and relies on themodulation of thetransmissiontodistinguishthe(weak)echoesfromthe(verystrong)directtransmission.Intheory,detectionperformance
inthepresenceofnoiseanddirecttransmissioninterferenceis improved by increasing the integration period of thedetector. Inrealitytheuseful integrationperiod is limitedtothe period that the channel is (approximately) stationary orcoherent. Exceeding the coherence length can result inreduced detection performance due to destructiveinterference in the detector. Channel coherence length isknown to be time-variable and it is important to guardagainst the use of channel characterisations that are nolongervalid.Inthispaperweexploretheseeffectsusingdatafrom the Littoral Continuous Active Sonar 2016 (LCAS' 16)trial,with a goal of understanding the relationship betweencoherence length and detection performance. Finally weexplorehowdetectionperformance is affectedby choiceofintegrationlength.

ABSTRACTBubble size distribution is of great interest in manyengineering applications. Measuring this quantity in aturbulentbubbleplumepresentsachallengetoconventionaltechniques,suchasphotographyandultrasonicimaging.Thispaper presents an improved correlation of bubble sizedistribution in turbulent bubble plumes with the measuredsoundspectrum.Theimprovedcorrelationincludesboththeeffect of sound attenuation through the bubble plume andtheeffectoftheformedbubblesizesonthemagnitudeofthegenerated sound. An iterative method is also used in thesolution process. The model is applied to highly turbulentbubble plumes generated at different facilities. It has beenfound that the total flow rates predicted by using theimprovedcorrelationagreewellwiththemeasureddataandconfirm that the magnitude of bubble formation sound isindeeddependentupontheflowconditions.

ABSTRACTIn the field of environmental acoustics, the conventionalapproach, i.e. reduction of ‘sound level’, does not alwaysdeliver the required improvements in quality of life.Soundscape,byconsideringsoundenvironmentasperceived,in context, with an interdisciplinary approach, represents astep change. This paper explores a soundscape approach inthe urban sound planning process. A framework is firstproposed for designing soundscape in urban open publicspaces, considering four key components: characteristics ofeach sound source, acoustic effects of the space,social/demographic aspect of the users, and other physicalconditions. Consequently, the design potentials for the fourkey components, namely sounds, space, people andenvironment, are demonstrated. Designing/planningtools/models for soundscapes are then presented, includinganauralisationsoftwarepackagefordesignmodificationandpublic participation, and an artificial neural network modelfor predicting acoustic comfort based on various designvariables. Finally, the potentials and scope of soundscape

ServicesGroup,AirservicesAustralia,Canberra,Australia
ABSTRACTAircraft noise is one of the most community-recognisedenvironmentaleffectsofaviation,withthepotentialtocausecommunity annoyance and adverse effects on health.Airservices is required under the CommonwealthEnvironmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation(EPBC)Acttoassessthepotentialenvironmentalsignificanceof any 'actions' it takes including changes to air trafficmanagement (ATM) practices. However, the EPBC Act doesnot prescribe any thresholds for potential environmentalsignificance in relation to aircraft noise. Consequently,Airservices has developed its own internal criteria for theenvironmental impact assessment of proposed changes toaircraftoperations,inordertodetermineiftheseimpactswillbe potentially significant (within the meaning of the EPBCAct) and if they will be potentially noticeable to localcommunities. The purpose of the criteria is to prescribe astandardised environmental impact assessment process forallchangestoaircraftoperationsimplementedbyAirservices,and to inform Airservices community engagement process.This paper describes in detail Airservices current criteria forenvironmental significance in relation to proposed ATMchanges.

ABSTRACTUnmannedaerialsystems(UASs)arean increasinglypopulartechnology with a rapidly expanding range of uses. Contra-rotating propellers are used as propulsors on some multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Contra-rotatingpropellers have the benefit of reducing the UAV's plan sizeand adding redundancy in case of component failure.However, contra-rotating propellers are notoriously noisy inotherapplications,but thenoise fromcontra-rotatingmulti-rotorUAVshasnotbeenstudied.Thispaperpresentsresultsfroman experimental investigationof a single static contra-rotating propeller mounted in an anechoic chamber. Theeffect of propeller diameter, propeller spacing, and bladenumber were investigated. The rotational speed of theupstreamanddownstreampropellerswasvariedoveralargerange togenerateadata set containingnoiseandefficiencymeasurementsatmanydifferentoperatingpoints.

ABSTRACTAircraft and ships suffer fromunwantednoiseandvibrationduetopropellerunsteadyloads.Whentryingtoachievelowlevels of propeller noise and vibration during design, thedesigner must balance these against often conflicting goalssuchasrequiredthrustandfatiguestrength.Duringtrade-offstudies, there is value in having a range of validatedmodelling tools that canbeusedovera rangeof timescaleswith different levels of fidelity. Simplified physics-basedmodels are often useful because they allow for a largeinvestigationoftheparameterdesign-spaceandtheycanalsoprovide insights into what are the most important in-flowcharacteristics and design parameters. This paper bringstogether a range of simplified techniques that assume aquasi-steady state, to assess the tonal unsteady propellerloadsresultingfromaningestednon-uniformwake.Asafirststep in validating this approach, predicted results arecompared against previously published experimentalmeasurements of twomodel propellers at the David TaylorResearch Centre (DTRC). Results show that under the rightconditions, this approach can give good predictions. Theinstances where the methodology does not predict theresponsewellarealsodemonstrated.

ABSTRACTISO 16283-2: 2015(E) describes how a standardised tappingmachine and a rubber ball are used as impact sources todetermine floor impact sound insulation. These standardimpactsourcesdonotexactlyreplicateallthepossibletypesofreal floor impacts.Accordingtothe ISO16283-2:2015(E),the tapping machine is effective to asses a variety of light,hard impacts such as footsteps fromwalkers wearing hard-heeled footwear, while the rubber ball is more effective toassessheavy,soft impactssuchas fromwalkers inbare feetor children jumping. However, only the standard tappingmachine approach is used to measure the impact soundinsulation proper-ties of building floors in Australia.

ABSTRACTAircraft noise is one of the most community-recognisedenvironmentaleffectsofaviation,withthepotentialtocausecommunity annoyance and adverse effects on health.Airservices is required under the CommonwealthEnvironmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation(EPBC)Acttoassessthepotentialenvironmentalsignificanceof any 'actions' it takes including changes to air trafficmanagement (ATM) practices. However, the EPBC Act doesnot prescribe any thresholds for potential environmentalsignificance in relation to aircraft noise. Consequently,Airservices has developed its own internal criteria for theenvironmental impact assessment of proposed changes toaircraftoperations,inordertodetermineiftheseimpactswillbe potentially significant (within the meaning of the EPBCAct) and if they will be potentially noticeable to localcommunities. The purpose of the criteria is to prescribe astandardised environmental impact assessment process forallchangestoaircraftoperationsimplementedbyAirservices,and to inform Airservices community engagement process.This paper describes in detail Airservices current criteria forenvironmental significance in relation to proposed ATMchanges.

ABSTRACTUnmannedaerialsystems(UASs)arean increasinglypopulartechnology with a rapidly expanding range of uses. Contra-rotating propellers are used as propulsors on some multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Contra-rotatingpropellers have the benefit of reducing the UAV's plan sizeand adding redundancy in case of component failure.However, contra-rotating propellers are notoriously noisy inotherapplications,but thenoise fromcontra-rotatingmulti-rotorUAVshasnotbeenstudied.Thispaperpresentsresultsfroman experimental investigationof a single static contra-rotating propeller mounted in an anechoic chamber. Theeffect of propeller diameter, propeller spacing, and bladenumber were investigated. The rotational speed of theupstreamanddownstreampropellerswasvariedoveralargerange togenerateadata set containingnoiseandefficiencymeasurementsatmanydifferentoperatingpoints.

ABSTRACTAircraft and ships suffer fromunwantednoiseandvibrationduetopropellerunsteadyloads.Whentryingtoachievelowlevels of propeller noise and vibration during design, thedesigner must balance these against often conflicting goalssuchasrequiredthrustandfatiguestrength.Duringtrade-offstudies, there is value in having a range of validatedmodelling tools that canbeusedovera rangeof timescaleswith different levels of fidelity. Simplified physics-basedmodels are often useful because they allow for a largeinvestigationoftheparameterdesign-spaceandtheycanalsoprovide insights into what are the most important in-flowcharacteristics and design parameters. This paper bringstogether a range of simplified techniques that assume aquasi-steady state, to assess the tonal unsteady propellerloadsresultingfromaningestednon-uniformwake.Asafirststep in validating this approach, predicted results arecompared against previously published experimentalmeasurements of twomodel propellers at the David TaylorResearch Centre (DTRC). Results show that under the rightconditions, this approach can give good predictions. Theinstances where the methodology does not predict theresponsewellarealsodemonstrated.

An experimental test with 14points in the circumferential direction of the closed cavity,and three positions taken in the depth direction (totallyincluding 42 test positions) was carried out tomeasure themagnitude of the open-circuit voltage at a number offrequencies between 5 Hz and 1 kHz. The sound pressurefield is evenly homogeneous and the sound pressure non-uniformity is quantified to be less than 0.5dB within thetested region, demonstrating the accuracy of the sensitivitycalibrationsystem.

ABSTRACTThe need to extract a single audio signal of interest from amulti-sourceandnoisyenvironmentiscommonacrossmanydisciplines.Useof sensorarrayswithadaptivebeamformingis a preferred approach for obtaining high quality audiosignals in many applications. One of such applications isapplying themicrophonearray technology to extract signalsof interest for the purpose of condition monitoring in anindustrialsite. Inthatwork,weemployedasocalledRobustCapon Beamformer (RCB) to perform the signal extraction.The adaptive algorithm in RCB was originally developed todeal with the uncertainty existing in the signal model. Thisuncertainty is also known as signal mismatch. There is animportant parameter called the error allowance in thealgorithmtoregulatetherobustnessofthebeamformer.Foran application of signal direction of arrival or localization,whichRCBwasoriginallyproposedfor,theappropriatevalueoftheerrorallowanceispurelydefinedbyanticipatederrorsin steering vectors. For an application of audio signalextraction, however, the appropriate value of the errorallowancehasbeenfoundtoberelatedalsotootherfactorsinthesystem,suchassignaltonoiseratio,signaldirectionofarrival,andthedistancebetweenthesourceandthearray.Inthispaper,weexaminethe influenceofthosefactorstotheappropriate value of the error allowance in the context ofmachinery condition monitoring through numericalsimulation,andprovideanempiricalformulaforchoosingtheappropriatevalueoftheerrorallowanceinthatcontext.

ABSTRACTThe effectiveness of acoustic classification is highlydependentonthefeaturesthatcanbeextractedfromagivensignal. It is possible to employ a range of featuressimultaneouslyduringclassificationto improveaccuracyandredundancy, though certain features can degradeperformance when used together. Mel Frequency CepstralCoefficient (MFCC)andLinearPredictiveCepstralCoefficient(LPCC) algorithms provide a method for acoustic featureextraction through the processing of the short term powerspectrum of a signal. Features generated using thesecoefficientsmayenhanceclassificationperformanceinactivesonar applications due to their robustness againstbackgroundnoise in lowfrequencybandwidths (20-2000Hz).ThispaperdiscussestheintegrationofthesefeaturesintotheBinaryClassificationResearchTool(BCRT);aresearchtoolforthetestingoffeatureandclassifierperformance.Theanalysisexaminestheircompatibilitywithestablishedfeaturesetsaswell as their overall potential in the area of sonarclassification. Through testing on a range of underwatersignals, MFCC features were found to have strong isolatedperformance and to increase classification accuracy whencombinedwithestablishedfeaturesets.LPCCfeatureshadapoor performance in isolation but achieved the highestclassification accuracy when combined with other featuresets.

ABSTRACTMany industries rely on the continual and unimpededoperation of turbines, pumps, pulleys, fans, motors,gearboxes, and other associated fixed and mobile plantequipment. As such, reliable and remote conditionmonitoringandfaultlocalisationcanimprovesafety,preventunnecessary downtime and reduce maintenance costs.Current methods of condition monitoring such as acousticemissions (AE) testing can prove difficult to automate andrequire careful analysis by a trained analyst.

ABSTRACTThe need to extract a single audio signal of interest from amulti-sourceandnoisyenvironmentiscommonacrossmanydisciplines.Useof sensorarrayswithadaptivebeamformingis a preferred approach for obtaining high quality audiosignals in many applications. One of such applications isapplying themicrophonearray technology to extract signalsof interest for the purpose of condition monitoring in anindustrialsite. Inthatwork,weemployedasocalledRobustCapon Beamformer (RCB) to perform the signal extraction.The adaptive algorithm in RCB was originally developed todeal with the uncertainty existing in the signal model. Thisuncertainty is also known as signal mismatch. There is animportant parameter called the error allowance in thealgorithmtoregulatetherobustnessofthebeamformer.Foran application of signal direction of arrival or localization,whichRCBwasoriginallyproposedfor,theappropriatevalueoftheerrorallowanceispurelydefinedbyanticipatederrorsin steering vectors. For an application of audio signalextraction, however, the appropriate value of the errorallowancehasbeenfoundtoberelatedalsotootherfactorsinthesystem,suchassignaltonoiseratio,signaldirectionofarrival,andthedistancebetweenthesourceandthearray.Inthispaper,weexaminethe influenceofthosefactorstotheappropriate value of the error allowance in the context ofmachinery condition monitoring through numericalsimulation,andprovideanempiricalformulaforchoosingtheappropriatevalueoftheerrorallowanceinthatcontext.

ABSTRACTThe effectiveness of acoustic classification is highlydependentonthefeaturesthatcanbeextractedfromagivensignal. It is possible to employ a range of featuressimultaneouslyduringclassificationto improveaccuracyandredundancy, though certain features can degradeperformance when used together. Mel Frequency CepstralCoefficient (MFCC)andLinearPredictiveCepstralCoefficient(LPCC) algorithms provide a method for acoustic featureextraction through the processing of the short term powerspectrum of a signal. Features generated using thesecoefficientsmayenhanceclassificationperformanceinactivesonar applications due to their robustness againstbackgroundnoise in lowfrequencybandwidths (20-2000Hz).ThispaperdiscussestheintegrationofthesefeaturesintotheBinaryClassificationResearchTool(BCRT);aresearchtoolforthetestingoffeatureandclassifierperformance.Theanalysisexaminestheircompatibilitywithestablishedfeaturesetsaswell as their overall potential in the area of sonarclassification. Through testing on a range of underwatersignals, MFCC features were found to have strong isolatedperformance and to increase classification accuracy whencombinedwithestablishedfeaturesets.LPCCfeatureshadapoor performance in isolation but achieved the highestclassification accuracy when combined with other featuresets.

ABSTRACTMany industries rely on the continual and unimpededoperation of turbines, pumps, pulleys, fans, motors,gearboxes, and other associated fixed and mobile plantequipment. As such, reliable and remote conditionmonitoringandfaultlocalisationcanimprovesafety,preventunnecessary downtime and reduce maintenance costs.Current methods of condition monitoring such as acousticemissions (AE) testing can prove difficult to automate andrequire careful analysis by a trained analyst. This researchinvestigates the use of adaptive beamforming for sourcelocalisation and signal extraction in conjunction with aconvolutional neural network classification systembasedonspectrogram plots. Furthermore, it tests the effects ofreducing the number of microphones in the microphonearray on the deep network classification accuracy.

ABSTRACTSome residents attribute adverse effects to the presence ofwind farm (WF) infrasound. However, dominant features ofwindfarm noise such as infrasound, tonality and amplitudemodulation span the average human hearing threshold, soattribution to infrasound is problematic.

ABSTRACTDespite the clear benefits of renewable energy, the rapidexpansion of wind energy has resulted in widespreadcommunitycomplaints regardingwind farmnoise (WFN).Asthe impact of WFN on sleep and health is not wellestablished, road traffic noise (RTN), withwell-known sleepdisturbance effects, is likely to be a useful environmentalnoise comparator. This study investigated the self-reportedannoyancetoshort-andlong-rangeWFNandRTNviaanon-focused listening test. Twenty-fiveparticipants fromaWFN-naïvesamplepopulationtookpartinthelisteningtest.Atotalof six stimuli were presented in random order for 10-mineach,whileparticipantswereengagedinareadingtask.FiveWFN and RTN stimuli were presented at a sound pressurelevel(SPL)of33dB(A)forcomparisonwiththesixth'nonoise'background control stimulus,whichhadan SPLof 23dB(A).After each stimulus, participants responded to questionsregardingannoyance, awareness, acceptability for sleepandloudness. Participants were also instructed to order thesamplesfromtheleasttothemostannoying.Short-andlong-rangeWFN and short-range RTNwere consistently rated asthemostannoyingac-cordingtosampleordering.Thereweresignificantdifferencesbetweensubjectiveresponsestonoisesamplesversusthe'nonoise'control,however,nosignificantdifferences in subjective reports toward specific noisesamples.

ABSTRACTSome residents attribute adverse effects to the presence ofwind farm (WF) infrasound. However, dominant features ofwindfarm noise such as infrasound, tonality and amplitudemodulation span the average human hearing threshold, soattribution to infrasound is problematic. This study used acombination of pre-recorded noise stimuli,measured at 3.2km from awind farm, in laboratory-based listening tests toinvestigate human perception of infrasound and amplitude

ABSTRACTPredictionofflow-inducednoiseisofconsiderableinterestina range of applications. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach offers thepossibility of obtaining acoustic predictions directly fromtime-resolvedpressurefluctuations.However,theapplicationof LES in design studies remains limited by its highcomputational cost. One approach to reduce the cost isEmbedded LES (ELES), in which LES is applied only in user-selected regions of interest which are known to dominatenoise production, while applying the Reynolds-AveragedNavier Stokes (RANS) equations elsewhere. To test thisconcept, ELES has been implemented in the open sourceOpenFOAMCFDcode,andthemethodwasappliedtomodelthe trailing edge noise due to flow around a NACA0012aerofoil. Simulations were run using ELES, with LEScalculations limitedtoaregionsurroundingthetrailingedgeoftheaerofoil.Forcomparison,afullLEScoveringthewholeflow domain was also carried out, with both comparedagainst published experimental results. For the ELES, thefinitevolumemeshcontainedapproximately13millioncells,whereas for full LES, the mesh contained approximately 40millioncells.Allothermodellingsettingswerekeptthesame.From the predicted pressure fluctuations, the trailing edgesurface pressure and far-field pressure spectra wereobtained. The results obtained using ELES were in goodagreement with the full LES results at a fraction of thecomputational cost, thus providing a way forward fordevelopingmoreaffordableLESforflownoisepredictions.

ABSTRACTA model framework for rapid assessment of the noisegeneratedbysmall-scalerotors,suchasthosefoundonsmallUninhabitedAerialSystems(UAS),ispresented.Theacousticsignatures of two commercially available 2-blade rotors inhover conditions are considered, namely the DJI-CF 9.4x4.3andAPC-SF11x4.7whichhaveadiameters0.24mand0.28m, respectively. The model framework is based mainly onsemi-imperialmodelswithlimitedinputsfromComputationalFluid Dynamics (CFD) based solutions. Supplementing themodelsusingCFD-basedsolution inputs leadstoa improvedacoustic signature prediction. The predicted noises of bothnarrow-band and broadband are compared with theexperimentalmeasurements,andtheagreement is foundtobereasonable.

ABSTRACTPrevious research by the authors into the testing andperformance quantification of acoustic louvres shows thatwhile performance indicators such as static insertion loss,transmissionlossandnoisereductionarefrequentlyusedbylouvremanufacturers,theymaynotaccuratelyrepresentthein-situ sound insulation performance. To examine therelationship between static insertion loss, transmission lossandnoise reduction,a single stageacoustic louvrehasbeentested in accordance with standard and non-standard testmethodologies. The testing included reverberant-to-reverberanttestingusingatransmissionlosssuite;thisisthemost commonmethodutilisedbymanufacturers for testingofacousticlouvres.Othertestmethodologieswerechosentoreplicate the typical installation of acoustic louvres andinvolved reverberant-to-free-field in the external wall of areverberationchamberandattheoutletofaductdischarginginto free-field conditions. The results obtained for each testmethodology are compared with relevant theory and eachother to determine the advantages and disadvantages ofeach performance indicator and test methodology. Theresults show that static insertion loss obtained usingreverberant-to-direct testing provides the most detailedinformation about the sound insulation performance of anacousticlouvre.
77 Lightweight noise barriers: The real-world effects ofpanel surface mass and absorption on acousticperformance

ABSTRACTCurrent practice in noise barrier design places strongemphasisontheselectionofbarriermaterialswithrelativelyhigh panel surface mass. Common rules-of-thumb suggestminimum surface masses of between 8 and 15kg/m2. Forrooftopmechanicalplantequipmentscreens,theremaybeadesire to utilise materials which are lighter and easier toinstall; such as solid aluminium, or aluminium compositematerial (ACM) sheet. Such materials may have a surfacemass as low as 4kg/m2. Based on the results of full-scalephysical testing, this study investigated the insertion losseffectsofvaryingthepanelmass, internalsoundabsorption,and barrier configuration for typical screened-off plantenclosureswithopentops.ComparisonsweremadebetweenthephysicaltestresultsandSoundPLANcomputermodelling,which showed the computer modelling significantlyoverestimated the barrier losses. It was found, for themeasured plant enclosure configurations, there was analmost insignificant performance increase in doubling thesurface mass of the enclosure material from 5.4kg/m2 to10.8kg/m2.
