The Acoustics Group in Paris

Between June 30th and 6th July 2008 the Acoustics Group attended Acoustics 08 in Paris. Five papers were presented by Prof Shield, Christos Nestoras, Linda Liviani, Phil Wash, Georgia Zepidou. Salih and Bilgin Hassan joined us for the banquet at the Institute of Chemistry.
It may look like we drink a lot, but we did do some work! Although Steve Dance and Salva Morant were just taking it easy...

Christos Nestoras PhD Candidate presents in Paris

On Wednesday 2nd July at 8.20am (bloody early) Christos Nestoras presented his paper on quiet noise measurements using swept sine method in Paris. The event was organised by EAA/SFA/ASA and called Acoustics 08.

Fame at Last... Well Korean TV

On Friday 27th June Korean TV interviewed Prof Tony Day of London South Bank University and Tony Moseley of Southwark Council. The topic of discussion was the new Quiet Revolution urbine. I think health and safety has yet to arrive in Korea.

Long term monitoring of Quiet Revolution urbine

On Friday 20th June long term noise and vibration monitoring commenced on the Quiet Revolution urbine. At the same moment, 3.15pm, all traffic was stopped on New Kent Road due to an accident, so we have measurements without any background noise from traffic. Although an air ambulance did arrive, so you can't win!

Quiet Revolution turbine erected on Southwark site

On Tuesday 17th June our QR turbine was installed on Ashenden House, Elephant & Castle. The Acoustics Group will be monitoring the noise and vibration performance of the roof top wind turbine over the course of the next year. I have intern doing the work!

Second Audiometer for the Acoustics Lab

A new Kamplex KS16 automatic screening audiometer has been purchased. In July it will be installed in a second sound proof booth to extend the audiometric capability of the acoustics lab. They will be fully test in early September when the musicians of the Royal Academy of Music are tested.
