Ambient infra sound surrounds us. Richard Mann presents his current |

research and equipment on measuring infra sound, and samples of recorded |

infra sound. |

Infra sound refers to sound waves below the range of human hearing. |
||||
Infra sound comes from a number of natural phenomena including weather |
||||
changes, thunder, and ocean waves. Common man made sources include |
||||
heating and ventilation systems, industrial machinery, moving vehicle |
||||
cabins (air, trains, cars), and energy generation (wind turbines, gas |
||||
plants). |
||||
<br></br> |
||||
In this talk Richard Mann will present equipment he has built to measure infra sound, and |
||||
analyse some of the infra sound he has recorded. |
||||
<br /> |
||||
Note: In Winter 2016 Richard Mann will be offering a new course, in Computer Sound. The |
||||
course will appear as CS489/CS689 ("Topics in Computer Science"). |

<p> |
||||
The most common problem in acoustics is to measure the frequency |
||||
response of an (expensive!) listening room. While specifications |
||||
exist for the amplifiers, speakers, etc, each system must be still |
||||
evaluated individually, since the frequency response depends on the |
||||
direct sound from the speaker(s), the listener position and the |
||||
reverberation of the room. The user may spend considerable time |
||||
adjusting the speaker placement, the system equalization, and |
||||
possibly treating the room to get the best response. |
||||
</p> |
||||
<p> |
||||
There are several commercial and freeware applications for this task, |
||||
some of which are very good. However, to learn the methods the user |
||||
must understand the processing involved. |
||||
</p> |
||||
<p> |
||||
The purpose of this talk is to present an open source solution. Our |
||||
system is based on a very few lines of code, written in GNU Octave, a |
||||
Matlab(r) workalike that runs under Linux, Windows and Mac. |
||||
</p> |
||||
<p> |
||||
The program works by playing a known test signal, such a tone, or |
||||
some kind of noise source out of the sound card into the system. The |
||||
system is measured by comparing driving signal to that measured by a |
||||
microphone in the room. The frequency response is computed using the |
||||
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). |
||||

||||
This is joint work with Prof. John Vanderkooy, Physics, University of |
||||
Waterloo. |
