🍬🤫 Imagine you're trying to sneak a piece of someone else's Halloween candy. You carefully reach for the wrapper and then...

CRINKLE!

Why are candy wrappers so noisy? The answer lies in the folds and creases of the wrapper. As they bend and snap, they create the familiar crackling sounds we hear.

For , revisit this classic ASA lay language paper from the 139th ASA Meeting: "On the Noise from a Crumpled Candy Wrapper."

The October JASA cover features a jet like those used in the studies described in "Assessing the feasibility of dense seismic networks in Southern California for recording primary and secondary sonic booms" (https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0046888) (Image credit: NASA/Jim Ross)

Also highlighted on the cover:
- "Broadband low-frequency sound absorption of underwater metamaterial coverings combining slit-helical structures and stepped plates" (https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0046798)
- "The pinna geometry descriptor: A topologically consistent three-dimensional ear shape representation for geometry-aware head-related transfer function modeling" (https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0046806)
- "Faster production, better recognition, more information: How speech rate affects fast speech perception and information transmission" (https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0046915)
- "Effective model of fiber Bragg gratings for simulation of ultrasonic guided wave measurements using spectral finite elements" (https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0046811)

Feature article and highlights are free to read for the month of November!

The Japanese Gion festival in Kyoto is a significant component of Japan's cultural heritage, thus making the preservation of its music of critical interest. However, conventional stereophonic recording is limited in its ability to reproduce spatial information. These researchers propose a method to reproduce the Gion festival music more realistically than stereophonic recordings. https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0002294

🎃 Why does some horror music make you feel anxious, while other pieces evoke pure terror?

Research published in JASA shows that these emotions are communicated through measurable acoustic differences. Terrifying music is often brighter, rougher, and more intense, while anxious music relies more on variability and uncertainty.

A perfect Halloween read for anyone curious about the science of sound and emotion.

Noise can simply be defined as sound that causes undesirable physiological and/or psychological responses when perceived by humans. Noise pervades throughout various facets of everyday life, ranging from indoor, transportation, and health applications, all of which were covered in this special session. This POMA shares research from the special session, "Psychoacoustics, Sound Quality, and Their Applications, Including in Noise Control Engineering," from the Honolulu meeting; the session consisted of 4 invited presentations and 10 contributed presentations representing academia and industry from Japan, the USA, and India. https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0002417
