An ANC hybrid meeting was held on the 21st May 2024 in London. PhD Candidate Alec Korchev presernted his latest research results on, "Wind Induced Noise Creakk in Tall Buildings". There is an increasing trend in noise complaints from residents in particularly slender designs. Alec has been measureming and recording the sound that induces the complaints and compares that to the weather conditions and cross-correlates to rate of noise complaints. The next step is finding a solution!
On the 22nd May 2024 London Southn Bank University hosted the Institute of Acoustics London Branch all day meeting on "AI in Acoustics". This international event consisted of ten presentations with 103 delegates in attendance. Professor Mark Plumbley of Surrey and Professor David Waddington of Salford were the chairs for the monrnig and afternoon sessions. Professor Stephen Dance then lead the delegates for refreshments at the Student Union Bar.
London South Bank University PhD candidate Ruben Vazquez Amos attended the Young Researhers in Acoustic Metamaterials workshop. The event which is student organised takes place each year. This year it was held in Aegina, Greece between 14-18 May 2024. We hope the networking activities were both helpful and enjoyable.
The work of Prof Stephen Dance and former PhD candidate Georgia Zepidou has been published by the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. The paper summarises the research results of 17 years with the Royal Academy of Music and is entitled, "Face the (unamplified) Music: Key findings for Musicians". We hope you enjoy the read!
The Acoustics Group welcomed 14 students on to the Institute of Acoustics Certificate for Environmental Noise Measurement. The largest cohort ever taught joined us for 5 days to take a short course. We hope they enjoyed the experience and learnt something about noise! Good luck all in the assessments.
