Research Areas

  • Psychoacoustic methods to investigate the relationships between judgments of loudness, sound characteristics and their contribution to the evaluation of sounds and appraisal
  • Explorative characterisation of sounds and development of psychoacoustically motivated indexes for their description
  • Interaction of tactile and auditory perception for supra-theshold sensations
  • Current and recent application areas:
    • Psychoacoustic qualities of multi-tone sounds and their assessment
    • Acoustic quality of fan noise
    • Characterization and evaluation of aircraft cabin noise and seat vibration
    • Simulation and evaluation of low sonic boom
