AT Collections – Hearing Health The hearing process in humans is complex and requires a series of actions to work smoothly. The process involves many parts of the ear working together to convert sound waves into information the brain understands and interprets as...
AT Collections – Remote Sensing Remote sensing is an essential tool for measuring the soundscapes of our planet and beyond. From nuclear test monitoring to measuring the shrinking ice fields at the poles, to determining the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine...
AT Collections – Acoustic Metamaterials Acoustic metamaterials manipulate effective material properties influencing wave propagation in a manner not commonly found in nature. Based on the historic foundation of wave propagation in periodic structures, metamaterials...
AT Collections – Policy Making and Acoustics Acousticians work in research, teaching, consulting, and myriad other career paths. Few acousticians, however, directly engage with the institutions that determine governmental policy around the world. This collection...
AT Collections – Speech disorders Speech is so innately human that people seldom pay attention to it, until they encounter speech disorders. Speech disorders can occur due to changes in the larynx or vocal tract, speech motor control, or decline in cognition. This...
AT Collections – Speech Development and Changes Across the Lifespan Considering how hard it is to learn a foreign language (at least for most people), it is remarkable how infants learn to understand speech and coordinate many different muscles and body parts to...
Language variations, dialects, and accents AT Collections – Language Variations, Dialects, and Accents Speech communication is inherently variable, from the many languages used in the world, to different dialects and accents within a same language. This collection...
Acoustics of the Human Voice AT Collections – Acoustics of the Human Voice Humans are exquisitely sensitive to variations in human voice: from recognizing the emotional state of a loved one, to distinguishing subtle regional accents, to preferring the musical...
History of Acoustics AT Collections – History of Acoustics Acoustic Today Articles about the history of some aspect of acoustics. Only articles whose primary goal was to describe the history of a topic (not individuals) in acoustics are listed. (prepared by William...
Acoustic Wave Propagation in Random Media AT Collections – Acoustic Wave Propagation in Random Media Many media through which sound waves propagate have a complex and dynamic structure; such media are commonly modeled as random. This approach gives rise to the field...
AT Collections – Student Activities (including Student Council) Students are an integral part of the Acoustical Society of America. The items in this collection discuss the wide range of activities that the Student Council engages in. Student Activities (including...
The lure of faster speeds and reduced travel time for commercial flights may come to fruition soon with advances in low-boom technology. The Concorde’s last flight in 2003 ended the first era in supersonic commercial travel. Although supersonic flight of the...
AT Collections – Human Psychoacoustics Human hearing is of great interest. The articles in this collection focus on measuring human hearing using psychoacoustical methods. The intent is to learn about what and how humans hear. A subset of these articles focus on...
AT Collections – Science Communication STEM professionals are accustomed to communicating their research and activities to peers. However, the standard conference or lecture approach for communicating usually is not the best way to educate someone with little to no...
AT Collections – Computation and Acoustics Computational methods play a prominent role in all areas of acoustical research. They are used, for example, to model sound waves propagating in complex environments and interactions between sound waves and vibrating...
AT Collections – Noise Effect and Criteria – Acoustical Standards Acoustics touches a wide range of our lives and the world. Occupational and recreational noise exposure is the primary cause of hearing loss among humans. Terrestrial and aquatic animals are affected...
AT Collections – Noise Effect and Criteria – Community Noise and People Acoustics touches a wide range of our lives and the world. Occupational and recreational noise exposure is the primary cause of hearing loss among humans. Terrestrial and aquatic animals are...
AT Collections – Noise Effect and Criteria – Underwater Sound and Marine Mammals Acoustics touches a wide range of our lives and the world. Occupational and recreational noise exposure is the primary cause of hearing loss among humans. Just like terrestrial,...
AT Collections – Underwater Acoustics Underwater acoustics is the study of sound in the sea. It encompasses a huge range of topics including the physics of acoustic propagation and the effects of the oceanographic features. the rough surface, the ice canopy in polar...
