The disappearance of the main source of noise with electric vehicles resulted in a breakthrough in car cabin sound experience. Despite significantly lowering the sound level pressure, one cannot claim perfect quietness is achieved. Indeed, as the auditory masking produced by the internal combustion engine is not effective anymore, unsuspected sound...
The Laboratoire d'Expériences du Bureau (LEB) is designed as an experimental, educational and experiential space for workspace designers. Its purpose is to provide a better understanding of the implications of design choices on the likely sound experience of people at work. Equipped with a set of mobile acoustic devices, an sound ambience generator...
Product sounds are important in our interactions with them. The temporal and context-dependent nature of sound makes it difficult to design them. There is a semantic gap between how we talk about sound and how it is embodied. Sound-driven design aims to improve this in two ways. It proposes a human-centered design approach, focusing on designing fo...
Denna artikel undersöker hur ljuddesign kan påverka narrativet i en film. Artikeln djupdyker i metoden Point of Audition (POA) och utreder hur dess applicering kan representera en karaktärs subjektiva verklighet. Syftet är att identifiera vad ljuddesign har för inflytande på hur en films handling och karaktärer uppfattas. Detta görs genom att produ...
In conditionally automated driving (SAE level 3), drivers may take their eyes off the road but will still need to be ready to take control and will, therefore, benefit from information on automation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of automation manoeuvre information provided through spatial sound, traditional notification sound (b...
This graduation thesis is on the topic of Critical audible alarm-sound design for handheld monitoring devices in Neonatal ICUs. Hand-held mobile devices are being tested in the field for effective alarm perception and response in the NICU at Erasmus MC Sophia's Hospital, Rotterdam. Based on the context analysis, the major stakeholder, and the focus...
Lors de cette communication, nous présentons un terrain expérimental mené au musée National de la Marine (site parisien) dans le cadre d’une thèse en musicologie portant sur l’efficacité des dispositifs sonores dans les stratégies de médiation. L’enjeu de ce protocole expérimental mené en situation écologique est de comparer les bienfaits d’un réci...
[ES] El rol de diseñador de sonido en los videojuegos es fundamental para que la experiencia interactiva sea lo más satisfactoria posible. Para ello, los sonidos deben ser coherentes con la narrativa, la jugabilidad, el género y la ambientación. Este trabajo de fin de Máster tiene como objetivo el diseño, creación y procesado de los sonidos de tres...
This research project delves into the exploration of the sound environment within Intensive Care Units (ICUs), particularly focusing on Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). It aims to enhance the understanding of sound events and their impact on both nurses' decision-making and patients' sleep behaviors. By ...
Orthopedic surgeries are identified as one of the most noisy surgeries inside the OR (operation room). The highest noise sound level could reach up to around 130 dB, which is harmful to patients’ well-being and are likely to evoke negative feelings during surgery. In the previous study investigating the emotional experience of patients who receive ...
