An abstract has been submitted to the Institute of Acoustics 50th Anniversary conference 12-13 September 2024 in Manchester. The Quiet Project - Analysis of the Lockdown average noise levels as measured in Urban, Suburban and Rural environments will be presented. In addition, these results will be compared to previous national noise surveys and recent WHO guidance. Looking forward to seeing you all at Manchester Met.
A KTP with Flexsea started on 25th March 2024 with associate Kola Alabi. Kola is working on a cross-disciplinary project combining structural engineering, 3D printing and acoustics to delivery a new more sustainable material manufactured from processed seaweed. Welcome to London South Bank University.

The second Art of Being an Acoustician was held jointly with the Art of Being a Consultant on 21/22 March 2024. The venue was the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton. Nine presenters mixing experience, management, research, consultancy, academia and product development provided a broader picture of the acoustics. We are again grateful to the IOA and UKAN who suppored this networking event. Spring 2025 will be in the Manchester area!
Once again the Association of Architects have visited the LSBU Acoustics Laboratory. The 4th year students talked to PhD students about how acoustics influents life. Lots of experiments were undertaken with balloons and loudspeakers. We hoped the students remember their time with us!
The National Gallery visited the LSBU Acoustics Laboratory, 19-21 February 2024, to undertaken testing of oil paintings. The testing was to establish if very high levels of air-borne sound affected the painting. This involved hiring a Polytec Laser Vibrometer and a very large loudspeaker! Many thanks to Bickerdike Allen Partners and the support of UKAN. Lots of analysis now needs to be undertaken!
