Desynchronizing responses to correlated noise: A mechanism for binaural masking level differences at the inferior colliculus. (1/1528)

We examined the adequacy of decorrelation of the responses to dichotic noise as an explanation for the binaural masking level difference (BMLD). The responses of 48 low-frequency neurons in the inferior colliculus of anesthetized guinea pigs were recorded to binaurally presented noise with various degrees of interaural correlation and to interaurally correlated noise in the presence of 500-Hz tones in either zero or pi interaural phase. In response to fully correlated noise, neurons' responses were modulated with interaural delay, showing quasiperiodic noise delay functions (NDFs) with a central peak and side peaks, separated by intervals roughly equivalent to the period of the neuron's best frequency. For noise with zero interaural correlation (independent noises presented to each ear), neurons were insensitive to the interaural delay. Their NDFs were unmodulated, with the majority showing a level of activity approximately equal to the mean of the peaks and troughs of the NDF obtained with fully correlated noise. Partial decorrelation of the noise resulted in NDFs that were, in general, intermediate between the fully correlated and fully decorrelated noise. Presenting 500-Hz tones simultaneously with fully correlated noise also had the effect of demodulating the NDFs. In the case of tones with zero interaural phase, this demodulation appeared to be a saturation process, raising the discharge at all noise delays to that at the largest peak in the NDF. In the majority of neurons, presenting the tones in pi phase had a similar effect on the NDFs to decorrelating the noise; the response was demodulated toward the mean of the peaks and troughs of the NDF. Thus the effect of added tones on the responses of delay-sensitive inferior colliculus neurons to noise could be accounted for by a desynchronizing effect. This result is entirely consistent with cross-correlation models of the BMLD. However, in some neurons, the effects of an added tone on the NDF appeared more extreme than the effect of decorrelating the noise, suggesting the possibility of additional inhibitory influences.  (+info)

A pilot study on the human body vibration induced by low frequency noise. (2/1528)

To understand the basic characteristics of the human body vibration induced by low frequency noise and to use it to evaluate the effects on health, we designed a measuring method with a miniature accelerometer and carried out preliminary measurements. Vibration was measured on the chest and abdomen of 6 male subjects who were exposed to pure tones in the frequency range of 20 to 50 Hz, where the method we designed was proved to be sensitive enough to detect vibration on the body surface. The level and rate of increase with frequency of the vibration turned out to be higher on the chest than on the abdomen. This difference was considered to be due to the mechanical structure of the human body. It also turned out that the measured noise-induced vibration negatively correlated with the subject's BMI (Body Mass Index), which suggested that the health effects of low frequency noise depended not only on the mechanical structure but also on the physical constitution of the human body.  (+info)

Expiratory time determined by individual anxiety levels in humans. (4/1528)

We have previously found that individual anxiety levels influence respiratory rates in physical load and mental stress (Y. Masaoka and I. Homma. Int. J. Psychophysiol. 27: 153-159, 1997). On the basis of that study, in the present study we investigated the metabolic outputs during tests and analyzed the respiratory timing relationship between inspiration and expiration, taking into account individual anxiety levels. Disregarding anxiety levels, there were correlations between O2 consumption (VO2) and minute ventilation (VE) and between VO2 and tidal volume in the physical load test, but no correlations were observed in the noxious audio stimulation test. There was a volume-based increase in respiratory patterns in physical load; however, VE increased not only for the adjustment of metabolic needs but also for individual mental factors; anxiety participated in this increase. In the high-anxiety group, the VE-to-VO2 ratio, indicating ventilatory efficiency, increased in both tests. In the high-anxiety group, increases in respiratory rate contributed to a VE increase, and there were negative correlations between expiratory time and anxiety scores in both tests. In an awake state, the higher neural structure may dominantly affect the mechanism of respiratory rhythm generation. We focus on the relationship between expiratory time and anxiety and show diagrams of respiratory output, allowing for individual personality.  (+info)

Neural correlates of gap detection in three auditory cortical fields in the Cat. (5/1528)

Neural correlates of gap detection in three auditory cortical fields in the cat. Mimimum detectable gaps in noise in humans are independent of the position of the gap, whereas in cat primary auditory cortex (AI) they are position dependent. The position dependence in other cortical areas is not known and may resolve this contrast. This study presents minimum detectable gap-in-noise values for which single-unit (SU), multiunit (MU) recordings and local field potentials (LFPs) show an onset response to the noise after the gap. The gap, which varied in duration between 5 and 70 ms, was preceded by a noise burst of either 5 ms (early gap) or 500 ms (late gap) duration. In 10 cats, simultaneous recordings were made with one electrode each in AI, anterior auditory field (AAF), and secondary auditory cortex (AII). In nine additional cats, two electrodes were inserted in AI and one in AAF. Minimum detectable gaps based on SU, MU, or LFP data in each cortical area were the same. In addition, very similar minimum early-gap values were found in all three areas (means, 36.1-41.7 ms). The minimum late-gap values were also similar in AI and AII (means, 11.1 and 11.7 ms), whereas AAF showed significantly larger minimum late-gap durations (mean 21.5 ms). For intensities >35 dB SPL, distributions of minimum early-gap durations in AAF and AII had modal values at approximately 45 ms. In AI, the distribution was more uniform. Distributions for minimum late-gap duration were skewed toward low values (mode at 5 ms), but high values (+info)

Comparison of four methods for assessing airway sealing pressure with the laryngeal mask airway in adult patients. (6/1528)

We have compared four tests for assessing airway sealing pressure with the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) to test the hypothesis that airway sealing pressure and inter-observer reliability differ between tests. We studied 80 paralysed, anaesthetized adult patients. Four different airway sealing pressure tests were performed in random order on each patient by two observers blinded to each other's measurements: test 1 involved detection of an audible noise; test 2 was detection of end-tidal carbon dioxide in the oral cavity; test 3 was observation of the aneroid manometer dial as the pressure increased to note the airway pressure at which the dial reached stability; and test 4 was detection of an audible noise by neck auscultation. Mean airway sealing pressure ranged from 19.5 to 21.3 cm H2O and intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.95-0.99. Inter-observer reliability of all tests was classed as excellent. The manometric stability test had a higher mean airway sealing pressure (P < 0.0001) and better inter-observer reliability (P < 0.0001) compared with the three other tests. We conclude that for clinical purposes all four tests are excellent, but that the manometric stability test may be more appropriate for researchers comparing airway sealing pressures.  (+info)

The supporting-cell antigen: a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase expressed in the sensory epithelia of the avian inner ear. (7/1528)

After noise- or drug-induced hair-cell loss, the sensory epithelia of the avian inner ear can regenerate new hair cells. Few molecular markers are available for the supporting-cell precursors of the hair cells that regenerate, and little is known about the signaling mechanisms underlying this regenerative response. Hybridoma methodology was used to obtain a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that stains the apical surface of supporting cells in the sensory epithelia of the inner ear. The mAb recognizes the supporting-cell antigen (SCA), a protein that is also found on the apical surfaces of retinal Muller cells, renal tubule cells, and intestinal brush border cells. Expression screening and molecular cloning reveal that the SCA is a novel receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP), sharing similarity with human density-enhanced phosphatase, an RPTP thought to have a role in the density-dependent arrest of cell growth. In response to hair-cell damage induced by noise in vivo or hair-cell loss caused by ototoxic drug treatment in vitro, some supporting cells show a dramatic decrease in SCA expression levels on their apical surface. This decrease occurs before supporting cells are known to first enter S-phase after trauma, indicating that it may be a primary rather than a secondary response to injury. These results indicate that the SCA is a signaling molecule that may influence the potential of nonsensory supporting cells to either proliferate or differentiate into hair cells.  (+info)

Influence of head position on the spatial representation of acoustic targets. (8/1528)

Sound localization in humans relies on binaural differences (azimuth cues) and monaural spectral shape information (elevation cues) and is therefore the result of a neural computational process. Despite the fact that these acoustic cues are referenced with respect to the head, accurate eye movements can be generated to sounds in complete darkness. This ability necessitates the use of eye position information. So far, however, sound localization has been investigated mainly with a fixed head position, usually straight ahead. Yet the auditory system may rely on head motor information to maintain a stable and spatially accurate representation of acoustic targets in the presence of head movements. We therefore studied the influence of changes in eye-head position on auditory-guided orienting behavior of human subjects. In the first experiment, we used a visual-auditory double-step paradigm. Subjects made saccadic gaze shifts in total darkness toward brief broadband sounds presented before an intervening eye-head movement that was evoked by an earlier visual target. The data show that the preceding displacements of both eye and head are fully accounted for, resulting in spatially accurate responses. This suggests that auditory target information may be transformed into a spatial (or body-centered) frame of reference. To further investigate this possibility, we exploited the unique property of the auditory system that sound elevation is extracted independently from pinna-related spectral cues. In the absence of such cues, accurate elevation detection is not possible, even when head movements are made. This is shown in a second experiment where pure tones were localized at a fixed elevation that depended on the tone frequency rather than on the actual target elevation, both under head-fixed and -free conditions. To test, in a third experiment, whether the perceived elevation of tones relies on a head- or space-fixed target representation, eye movements were elicited toward pure tones while subjects kept their head in different vertical positions. It appeared that each tone was localized at a fixed, frequency-dependent elevation in space that shifted to a limited extent with changes in head elevation. Hence information about head position is used under static conditions too. Interestingly, the influence of head position also depended on the tone frequency. Thus tone-evoked ocular saccades typically showed a partial compensation for changes in static head position, whereas noise-evoked eye-head saccades fully compensated for intervening changes in eye-head position. We propose that the auditory localization system combines the acoustic input with head-position information to encode targets in a spatial (or body-centered) frame of reference. In this way, accurate orienting responses may be programmed despite intervening eye-head movements. A conceptual model, based on the tonotopic organization of the auditory system, is presented that may account for our findings.  (+info)

by Lisa Goines, RN; Louis Hagler, MD. Medscape Today (www.medscape.com). April 10, 2007. Abstract. Noise is defined as unwanted sound. Environmental noise consists of all the unwanted sounds in our communities except that which originates in the workplace. Environmental noise pollution, a form of air pollution, is a threat to health and well-being. It is more severe and widespread than ever before, and it will continue to increase in magnitude and severity because of population growth, urbanization, and the associated growth in the use of increasingly powerful, varied, and highly mobile sources of noise. It will also continue to grow because of sustained growth in highway, rail, and air traffic, which remain major sources of environmental noise. The potential health effects of noise pollution are numerous, pervasive, persistent, and medically and socially significant. Noise produces direct and cumulative adverse effects that impair health and that degrade residential, social, working, and ...
and more. Symptoms of Environmental Noise. The early symptoms of environmental noise pollution might be a mild sensation of stuffy ears or ringing in the ears known as tinnitus. Sometimes the only sign of early damage to the inner ear from noise is difficulty understanding speech and hearing high frequency noise. Depending upon the health issue, a large number of symptoms can manifest in individuals that look like the disease. For example, if hypertension were caused by environmental noise the symptoms might be headaches, fainting or noise bleeds. If ischemic heart disease was caused by environmental noise, the symptoms might be chest pain or difficulty breathing.. Noise at Work Employees in a workplace should not be exposed to anything greater than 85 dBA (decibala) per eight-hours daily. Workplace noise for construction workers allows a higher limit of 90 dBA per eight hours of noise exposure. However, outdoor noise should never exceed between 60 and 65 dBA. Workplace noise can result from a ...

In low light condition, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low and thus the captured images are seriously degraded by noise.Since low light images contain much noise in flat and dark regions, contrast enhancement without considering noise characteristics causes serious noise amplification. In this paper, we propose low light image enhancement based on two-step noise suppression. First, we perform noise aware contrast enhancement using noise level function (NLF). NLF is used to get a noise aware histogram which prevents noise amplification, and we use the noise aware histogram in contrast enhancement. However, the increase of intensity by contrast enhancement reduces the visibility threshold, which makes noise visible by human eyes. Second, we utilize a just noticeable difference (JND) model from luminance adaptation to suppress noise based on human visual perception. Experimental results show that the proposed method successfully enhances contrast in low light images while minimizing noise ...

Permanent noise monitoring expected to hold the largest market by 2023. Permanent noise monitoring held the largest share of the noise monitoring market in 2016. This can be attributed to the wide installation of permanent noise monitoring in places where regular measurement is backed by stringent government policies. Also, permanent noise monitoring is used mainly for real-time noise monitoring.. Cellular connectivity market for noise monitoring to grow at the highest ...
Underwater Wireless Communication, largely dependent on the acoustic communication between the machines, is largely affected by various types of noise in the shallow and deep water. However ambient noise which is due to multiple sources (e.g. shipping, wind) and no one source dominates. Ambient noise masks the acoustic signal to a large extent. Hence today it has drawn the attention of the experts to reduce its effect on the received signal. This paper discusses ambient noise problem and devises a new wavelet thresholding method to reduce its effect. Afterwards a comparative study on statistical parameters is shown to prove the efficiency of the devised method.
In signal processing, white noise is a random signal with a constant power spectral density.[1] The term is used, with this or similar meanings, in many scientific and technical disciplines, including physics, acoustic engineering, telecommunications, statistical forecasting, and many more. White noise refers to a statistical model for signals and signal sources, rather than to any specific signal.A white noise image.In discrete time, white noise is a discrete signal whose samples are regarded as a sequence of serially uncorrelated random variables with zero mean and finite variance; a single realization of white noise is a random shock. Depending on the context, one may also require that the samples be independent and have the same probability distribution (in other words i.i.d is a simplest representative of the white noise). In particular, if each sample has a normal distribution with zero mean, the signal is said to be Gaussian white noise.[2]The samples of a white noise signal may be ...

AU - Dorocicz, J.. PY - 2013. Y1 - 2013. N2 - The empirical probability density of the power spectral density has been successfully applied as tool to assess signal variability and sensor system performance in the seismic literature. This paper presents the application of this analysis method to underwater ambient noise measurements, and demonstrates its utility in assessing the field performance of passive acoustic monitoring systems and the statistical distribution of noise levels across the frequency spectrum. Using example datasets from an autonomous passive acoustic recorder in the Moray Firth, Scotland, UK, and a cabled subsea observatory in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, we show how this method can reveal data limitations such as persistent tonal components and insufficient dynamic range, and ...
The stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon induced by a multiplicative periodic signal in a logistic growth model with correlated noises is studied by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the adiabatic limit. The expressions of the SNR are obtained. The effects of multiplicative noise intensity α and additive noise intensity D, and correlated intensity λ on the SNR are discussed respectively. It is found that the existence of a maximum in the SNR is the identifying characteristic of the SR phenomena. In comparison with the SR induced by additive periodic signal, some new features are found: (1) When SNR as a function of λ for fixed ratio of α and D, the varying of α can induce a stochastic multi-resonance, and can induce a re-entrant transition of the peaks in SNR vs λ; (2) There exhibits a doubly critical phenomenon for SNR vs D and λ, i.e., the increasing of D (or λ) can induce the critical phenomenon for SNR with respect to λ (or D); (3) The doubly stochastic resonance ...
New European research has found that exposure to annoying levels of noise could increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm irregularity also known as heart flutter which can lead to stroke, heart failure and other serious health conditions.. Carried out by researchers from the Department of Cardiology at the Mainz University Medical Center, Germany, the team looked at data taken from the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS), one of the largest studies of its kind which has already looked at the effects of noise pollution on health.. For the new research the team surveyed 15,010 men and women aged 35 to 74 taking part in the GHS, asking them how much they had been annoyed in recent years by road, rail, construction, trade, neighborhood noise and aircraft noise during both the day and night.. Atrial fibrillation was diagnosed using participants medical history and/or ECG tests.. The results showed that as the level of noise annoyance increases, so does frequency of atrial fibrillation, with ...

A planning condition for the development required reasonable noise levels to be met within the residential buildings when they were ventilated at a rate to control overheating. If that could not be achieved with the windows open, an alternative method of ventilation would be required.. In addition to motorway traffic, the scheme had to consider noise generated within the development, which was to include new transport routes, an energy centre and commercial units.. The noise levels across the site were modelled using SoundPLAN software, which enables noise levels to be predicated on each façade based on future traffic data. It can predict the incident noise levels for each floor height, taking into account the shielding provided by the proposed first-phase buildings and the landscaping of the area next to the M11.. Once the external noise levels had been established for each room, the necessary noise reduction could be established.. The indoor noise levels required were 40dB LAeq,T during the ...

In this note, we address the estimation of the noise level in magnitude magnetic resonance (MR) images in the absence of background data. Most of the methods proposed earlier exploit the Rayleigh distributed background region in MR images to estimate the noise level. These methods, however, cannot be used for images where no background information is available. In this note, we propose two different approaches for noise level estimation in the absence of the image background. The first method is based on the local estimation of the noise variance using maximum likelihood estimation and the second method is based on the local estimation of the skewness of the magnitude data distribution. Experimental results on synthetic and real MR image datasets show that the proposed estimators accurately estimate the noise level in a magnitude MR image, even without background data.. ...
In response to the continuing problem of noise induced hearing loss NIHL among mine workers, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH has conducted numerous noise surveys in coal preparation plants. The research, consisting of worker dose monitoring, task observations, and equipment noise profiling, was completed in eight separate preparation plants. Worker dose monitoring was conducted for three shifts in most cases. Workers experiencing higher than allowable doses were task-observed for one full shift to correlate dose to noise source(s). Finally, noise levels on all floors, and in lunchrooms and control rooms, were characterized. Results indicate that only workers who routinely spend a significant portion of their shift in the plants (away from the control rooms) are susceptible to overexposure from noise. Certain pieces of equipment (screens, centrifuges, sieve bends) are the loudest primary noise sources responsible for the worker noise exposures ...
Stimuli were generated by ATTR software, see Figure 1 for examples of stimuli (Hudak et al., 2019; Lister et al., 2011; Lister et al., 2006). The stimuli consist of narrow band noise geometrically centered on 1 or 2 kHz. The leading noise burst is 300 ms in length and the following noise burst varies between 250 ms and 350 ms. For each trial, a standard stimulus and target stimulus are presented to the listener. In the standard stimulus, a 1 ms gap separates two noise bursts so that similar gating transients are present in both the standard and the target stimuli (in which the size of the gap separating the noise bursts is varied adaptively). The order of presentation of standard and target stimuli is varied randomly. The listener is instructed to select the target stimulus, and the smallest detectable gap is determined (Lister et al., 2006). The ATTR consists of two subtests: the within-channel (WC) subtest in which both noise bursts are centered on 2 kHz and the across-channel (AC) subtest in ...
Paragraph: 005 Reference ID: 30-005-20140306. How to recognise when noise could be a concern?. At the lowest extreme, when noise is not noticeable, there is by definition no effect. As the noise exposure increases, it will cross the no observed effect level as it becomes noticeable. However, the noise has no adverse effect so long as the exposure is such that it does not cause any change in behaviour or attitude. The noise can slightly affect the acoustic character of an area but not to the extent there is a perceived change in quality of life. If the noise exposure is at this level no specific measures are required to manage the acoustic environment.. As the exposure increases further, it crosses the lowest observed adverse effect level boundary above which the noise starts to cause small changes in behaviour and attitude, for example, having to turn up the volume on the television or needing to speak more loudly to be heard. The noise therefore starts to have an adverse effect and ...
But what are the implications for wildlife, particularly given how important sound production and hearing are for a range of behaviours, such as locating food, avoiding predators and finding a mate? For example, bats and dolphins rely on high frequency sonar to detect highly mobile prey, while great tits, red deer and grasshoppers are among the many species that advertise their dominance and desirability using vocalisations. Elephants can even use sound to determine the threat presented by different human groups.. Scientific interest in the effects of noise pollution on wildlife has intensified over the past decade and we are now developing a better understanding of how noise can impact behaviour, population and community level processes across a range of animal species. Using experimental and observational approaches to characterise and explore the specific effects of different noise sources, the evidence generated from these studies is considerable, particularly among songbirds and marine ...
The present study investigated the psychosocial complaints related to urban noise among the population of Curitiba. We used a questionnaire of closed-set questions to collect data on demographics and psychosocial reactions to environmental noise when subjects are at home. Eight hundred and ninety-two individuals (892) participated of the study. The main noise sources associated with discomfort or
This study investigates the effects of acoustic conditions on speech comprehension, rather than speech intelligibility as often reported in existing literature. Sets of 15-minute-long listening comprehension tests were developed based on the format of the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). Each test set includes four types of tasks: matching aural phrases to photographs, selecting appropriate responses to aural questions, and answering questions after listening to conversations (between two talkers) and talks (single talker). Within the Nebraska acoustics test chamber, native-English-speaking participants are asked to perform these tests under 15 acoustic conditions, from combinations of three background noise levels (RC-30, 40 and 50) and five mid-frequency reverberation times (0.4 to 1.2 seconds). The background noise levels are varied via an Armstrong i-Ceiling system, while the reverberation times are simulated from convolving the anechoic test signals with binaural room
Very soon I will built a small anechoic chamber to test really quiet PSUs and also I plan to push noise measurements to another level. Here is a teaser, since I just finished the relevant code and made the necessary modifications to my equipment :)
Vehicle traffic is the major source of noise in urban environments, which in turn has multiple impacts on health. In this paper we investigate the spatial distribution of community noise exposures and annoyance. Traffic data from the City of San Francisco were used to model noise exposure by neighborhood and road type. Remote sensing data were used in the model to estimate neighborhood-specific percentages of cars, trucks, and buses on arterial versus non-arterial streets. The model was validated on 235 streets. Finally, an exposure-response relationship was used to predict the prevalence of high annoyance for different neighborhoods. Urban noise was found to increase 6.7 dB (p | 0.001) with 10-fold increased street traffic, with important contributors to noise being bus and heavy truck traffic. Living along arterial streets also increased risk of annoyance by 40%. The relative risk of annoyance in one of the Citys fastest growing neighborhoods, the South of Market Area, was found to be 2.1 times that
City dwellers are bombarded by more noise now than in past times when residents lived in rural, agrarian communities.

Pasternack Enterprises coaxial RF noise sources (also known as RF noise generators) are diode-based microwave components that produce white noise for system performance evaluation such as noise figure. RF noise sources / noise generators from Pasternack are commonly used in production and lab test environments.
Washington, July 14 : A new study conducted by Northwestern University researchers offers an unparalleled look at how noise affects the nervous systems ability to transcribe sounds whose subtle differences are key to success with language and reading.. The study suggests that distinguishing such sounds is too much to ask of the nervous system of a subset of poor readers whose hearing is fine, but whose brains have trouble differentiating the ba, da and ga sounds in a noisy environment.. The b, d and g consonants have rapidly changing acoustic information that the nervous system has to resolve to eventually match up sounds with letters on the page, said Nina Kraus, Hugh Knowles Professor of Communication Sciences and Neurobiology and director of Northwesterns Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, where the work was performed.. According to the researcher, the brains unconscious faulty interpretation of sounds makes a big difference in how words ultimately will be ...
In this work, we apply homodyne detection to investigate the frequency-resolved photon statistics of a cw light field emitted by a driven-dissipative semiconductor system in real time. We demonstrate that studying the frequency dependence of the photon number noise allows us to distinguish intrinsic noise properties of the emitter from external noise sources such as mechanical noise while maintaining a sub-picosecond temporal resolution. We further show that performing postselection on the recorded data opens up the possibility to study rare events in the dynamics of the emitter. By doing so, we demonstrate that in rare instances, additional external noise may actually result in reduced photon number noise in the emission ...
Abstract: Acousticians and mechanical engineers specify design noise levels for occupied spaces and systems components (units of equipment). While it is widely accepted that occupied spaces should have a ``balanced noise spectrum, individual units of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other building systems equipment do not. Of the three commonly used systems of rating interior noise---noise criteria, room criteria, and noise criteria--balanced curves---only noise criteria lends itself to specifying a maximum noise level for equipment. How can the need for a ``balanced noise environment for people be reconciled with the fact that radiated noise from a fan-powered variable air volume box is predominately in the 125- and 250-Hz octave bands with little sound energy at 1000 Hz and higher? A discussion of the need for a clear standard that is easily understandable to specifiers, clients, manufacturers, and users is undertaken, with suggestions of how to resolve the differing needs of these ...

How the human brain retains relevant vocal information while suppressing irrelevant sounds is one of the ongoing challenges in cognitive neuroscience. Knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of this ability can be used to identify whether a person is distracted during listening to a target speech, especially in a learning context. This paper investigates the neural correlates of learning from the speech presented in a noisy environment using an ecologically valid learning context and electroencephalography (EEG). To this end, the following listening tasks were performed while 64-channel EEG signals were recorded: (1) attentive listening to the lectures in background sound, (2) attentive listening to the background sound presented alone, and (3) inattentive listening to the background sound. For the first task, 13 lectures of 5 min in length embedded in different types of realistic background noise were presented to participants who were asked to focus on the lectures. As background noise, multi-talker

The main source of environmental (ambient) noise is transport. Road traffic is the most widespread source. Percentage of the population exposed to different noise levels is high. People in urban areas are exposed to the highest levels of noise, because of concentration of population and traffic in the cities. Most worrying is a significant increase in noise at night, because people are most sensitive to noise at that time.. ...

We present an optical flow based method for noise reduction in image sequences. To prevent artefacts caused by optical flow imperfections, we propose a method to estimate these imperfections. We use the estimation to adaptively choose either a temporal or a spatial based noise reduction algorithm to be applied in different image zones. Our results have shown that an important noise reduction can be achieved with the proposed method, without the drawbacks of the simpler methods. The method has provided important noise reductions even with complex image sequences ...
The effects of tinnitus can often be minimized by a combination of counseling and/or sound stimulation. If you suspect you have tinnitus, the first step is to undergo a tinnitus and hearing evaluation by an audiologist. Tinnitus counseling with an experienced healthcare professional may help to improve chances of successfully managing your tinnitus and regain your quality of life.. Many people learn to ignore their tinnitus and are able to function in their daily lives without interference, but others may need the assistance of noise generators. For those individuals whose tinnitus is more bothersome, the introduction of external noise using electronic noise generators may help minimize the awareness of tinnitus. These devices may include: noise machines that produce white or environmental noise which are often effective when trying to fall asleep or concentrate, hearing aids which can help alleviate the tinnitus of those with hearing loss just by delivering amplification; or ear level masking ...
What is a Decibel?. The decibel (very often abbreviated to dB) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of two values. It is often attributed to the level of sound produced by almost everything including electronic devices such as TVs, speech, jet engines and power tool etc.. In 2005 a new piece of legislation was brought into play called the Control of Noise at Work Regulation 2005. It placed a direct responsibility on the employer within Great Britain to actively reduce the risk of noise to their employees by controlling the amount of noise they are exposed to. The act was implemented throughout most industries in April 2007 with the music & entertainment sector receiving the policy just over a year later.. Noise within the workplace can cause serious communication problems as loud or intrusive volumes of noise will interfere with potential warnings such as fire alarms. The loud noise can also make people less aware of their surroundings. All these issues added together can lead ...

Noise, especially very loud noise and chronic exposure to loud noise, is usually considered as detrimental during the pregnancy. In most European countries, health regulations forbid pregnant women to work in surroundings with a level over 80 dB continuous noise and rapid impulse noise changes of 40 dB, which is much less than the noise of a firearm. In the United States, the Department of Labor limits for impulse (not continuous) noise is 140 dB (Dept.of Labor Bulletin #334, 1971) with additional regulations for ongoing noise. The sound levels of firearms are about 125-140 dB for rimfire rifles, 140-150dB for rimfire pistols, and 150-160 dB for centerfire rifles, pistols,and shotguns.. Intrauterine measurements in some studies showed that the fetus was not significantly protected against loud noises. One study,in human volunteers, found noise only diminished by 10 dB at 4000Hz. As a comparison, foam plugs generally offer a protection of 12 to 20dB, and are considered as the least effective ...
A casino gaming machine includes a speaker structured to produce a game audio output having a volume, an ambient noise level (ambient noise level) detector structured to detect an ambient noise level proximate the gaming machine, and an dynamic volume controller configured to regulate the volume of the game audio output in relation to a detected ambient noise level. The gaming machine can produce a plurality of game audio outputs, wherein the game audio output volumes can be differentially adjusted in relation to a detected ambient noise level. Differential volume adjustment can be on the basis of a parameter, such as sound output class.
Sound can be understood as the pressure fluctuation in a medium. Acoustics is the study of sound propagation in a medium; AeroAcoustics deals with the study of noise generated by air. Examples include the flow around the landing gear of an aircraft, or the buffeting noise caused when driving along with the window/sunroof open. As a result of the stringent conditions imposed on the Aircraft industries to limit noise pollution, focus is now shifting towards predicting the noise generated by a given aerodynamic flow. Similarly, in the automotive industry, passenger comfort is of great importance, so OEMs are keen to minimise unnecessary noise sources. AeroAcoustics is an advanced field of fluid dynamics in which the flow scale is removed to the acoustic levels. The first advance in the field of AeroAcoustics was made by Sir James Lighthill when he presented an Acoustic Analogy. With proper manipulation of the Euler equations, he derived a wave equation based on pressure as the fluctuating ...
Seismic surveys are a key activity during maritime oil exploration. During the surveys, sound is repeatedly produced underwater to create detailed pictures of below the sea floor, allowing explorers to accurately find oil and gas.. Seismic surveys and vessel operations create marine noise and can have negative impacts on wildlife. They can change an animals hearing structure or their physiology. The noise can also affect an animals behaviour such as altering their feeding or breeding behaviours or perhaps their escape responses. Over the long-term (months to years), these impacts may accumulate, affecting the health of individuals and potentially the health of the population. As part of the North West Shoals to Shore program, AIMS is investigating the long and short-term impacts of marine noise from the petroleum industry on plankton, pearl oysters and fish.. The studies are also measuring the quality and amount of noise pollution produced by the seismic surveys and vessel activity to produce ...
Many workplaces are subject to complex noise environments where impulsive noises are embedded in the continuous background noise. Current noise guidelines recommend an exposure limit based on the equal energy hypothesis (EEH), thus overlooking the effect of temporal and spectral variations of the noise. This practice is widely believed inaccurate to assess the risk of complex or impulsive noises.
Abstract: This paper introduces two new algorithms to accurately estimate Kalman filter process noise online for robust orbit determination in the presence of dynamics model uncertainties. Common orbit determination process noise techniques, such as state noise compensation and dynamic model compensation, require offline tuning and a priori knowledge of the dynamical environment. Alternatively, the process noise covariance may be estimated through adaptive filtering. However, current adaptive filtering techniques often use ad hoc methods to ensure the estimated process noise covariance is positive semi-definite, and cannot accurately extrapolate over measurement outages. Furthermore, adaptive filtering techniques do not constrain the discrete time process noise covariance according to the underlying continuous time dynamical model, and there has been limited work on adaptive filtering with colored process noise. To overcome these limitations, a novel approach is developed which optimally fuses ...
