Applied Psychoacoustics / Sound Quality
Research Interest

Overview:

Our work focuses on these issues:

  • applying well-founded scaling methodology to sound-quality evaluation,
  • investigating product sound in selected domains such as auditory warnings, gear noise, noise from photovoltaic inverters and
  • using binaural technology to properly auralize sound for sound-quality studies.
