- 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).

+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ This general meeting will be held to discuss changes to our Code of
+ Conduct.
+ The Code of Conduct and the amended version can be found below:
+ Come code with us, eat some food, do some things.
+
+ Personal projects you want to work on? Homework
+ projects you need to finish? Or want some time to explore
+ some new technology and chat about it? You can join us at Code Party
+ and do it, with great company and great food.

- 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.
-
- 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").

- This
- is a project-based course (60% assignments, 40% project, no final).
