Box 15500, Aalto FI-00076, Finland Invited Papers 1:00 4pAAa1. The differences and though the equivalence in the detection methods of particle, ray, and beam tracing. Uwe M. Ste- phenson (HafenCity Univ. Hamburg, Hebebrandstr. 1, Hamburg 22297, Germany, [email protected]) Within the numerical methods used in room acoustics, the geometrical and energetic methods of sound particle, ray and beam tracing are often confused. This rather tutorial paper does not treat the tracing algorithms but rather aims to explain the differences in the physi- cal models and the corresponding detection and evaluation methods. While ray tracing needs spherical detectors as receivers to count rays, the particle model is based on a weighting of the energies of the particles with their inner crossing distances to compute the local sound energy densities. For beam tracing, receiver points are sufficient. In its core, this paper shows the convergence of the evaluated intensities computed from immitted sound particle energies to those predicted by the well-known 1/R<+>2<+>-distance law for the free field—as applied with the mirror image source method and beam tracing as its efficient implementation. Finally, the geometrical methods are classified depending on their efficiency with higher orders of reflection and their extensibility by scattering and diffraction. 1:20 4pAAa2.

  • Sound Synthesis with Auditory Distortion Products.” in Amacher, M
    Gary S. Kendall,∗ Christopher Haworth,† Sound Synthesis with and Rodrigo F. Cadiz´ ∗∗ ∗Artillerigatan 40 Auditory Distortion 114 45 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Products †Faculty of Music Oxford University St. Aldate’s, Oxford, OX1 1 DB, United Kingdom [email protected] ∗∗Center for Research in Audio Technologies, Music Institute Pontificia Universidad Catolica´ de Chile Av. Jaime Guzman´ E. 3300 Providencia, Santiago, Chile 7511261 [email protected] Abstract: This article describes methods of sound synthesis based on auditory distortion products, often called combination tones. In 1856, Helmholtz was the first to identify sum and difference tones as products of auditory distortion. Today this phenomenon is well studied in the context of otoacoustic emissions, and the “distortion” is understood as a product of what is termed the cochlear amplifier. These tones have had a rich history in the music of improvisers and drone artists. Until now, the use of distortion tones in technological music has largely been rudimentary and dependent on very high amplitudes in order for the distortion products to be heard by audiences. Discussed here are synthesis methods to render these tones more easily audible and lend them the dynamic properties of traditional acoustic sound, thus making auditory distortion a practical domain for sound synthesis. An adaptation of single-sideband synthesis is particularly effective for capturing the dynamic properties of audio inputs in real time. Also presented is an analytic solution for matching up to four harmonics of a target spectrum. Most interestingly, the spatial imagery produced by these techniques is very distinctive, and over loudspeakers the normal assumptions of spatial hearing do not apply.

  • An Investigation Into Improving Speech Intelligibility Using Binaural Signal Processing
    An investigation into improving speech intelligibility using binaural signal processing Gary Anthony Spittle PhD Electronics July 2009 1 Abstract This thesis sets out to improve the intelligibility of a target speech sound source when presented with simultaneous masking sounds. A summary of the human hearing system and methods for spatialising sounds is provided as background to the problem. A detailed review of relevant research in auditory masking, auditory continuity and speech intelligibility is discussed. Angular separation and sound object differentiation through amplitude modification are used to enhance a target speech sound. A novel method is developed for achieving this using only the binaural signals received at the ears of a listener. This new approach is termed an auditory lens. Psychoacoustic evaluation of the auditory lens processing has shown comparable intelligibility scores to direct spatialisation techniques which require prior knowledge of sound source spectral content and direction. The success of the auditory lens has led to a number of potential further research projects that will take the processing system closer to a real wearable product. 2 Table of contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................2 Table of contents ....................................................................................................3 List of Figures ........................................................................................................6
