Comparison of a measured IR in the scale model of the original design (IR and picture left) with a too strong ceiling reflection, IR in the scale model after acoustic measures (IR and picture middle) and in the real hall (IR and picture right). All IR’s are measured from the same source position (soloist) to the same microphone position (2/3 of the stalls on the middle axes). https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0002325

SPECIAL ISSUE: ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON HEARING

Tropical forests are biodiversity reservoirs but are increasingly fragmented by human activity, creating forest edges that alter microclimates and ecological dynamics. Understanding of edge effects is largely based on vegetation studies but still lacks faunal characterization. Here, passive acoustic monitoring was conducted in New Caledonian forests to monitor faunal communities and to examine whether and how the distance from the forest edge structures the soundscape. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0043951

If your work touches a federal grant, the rules behind it may be about to change.

As as founding member of AIP, we're sharing an upcoming webinar on OMB's proposed changes to Uniform Guidance.

The proposal has generated significant discussion across the research community. What is actually included in the proposal, and what could it mean for researchers and research organizations?

Join experts from AIP, APS, and FYI Science Policy News for a webinar covering:
- What Uniform Guidance is and why it matters
- Key proposed changes
- Potential implications for federally funded research
- The public comment process and opportunities for engagement

The program will conclude with an extended audience Q&A, so attendees can put questions directly to policy experts.

June 17, 4:00-5:00 PM EDT

SPECIAL ISSUE: BAYESIAN METHODS IN ACOUSTICAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Predicting how the thermoacoustic response of a combustor changes across operating conditions is a long-standing challenge because small uncertainties in the flame response lead to large uncertainties in the thermoacoustic response. This work addresses that challenge: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0043841

SPECIAL ISSUE: ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON HEARING

Natural animal sounds can be perceived as “harsh” or “buzzy”—sound descriptions known as auditory roughness. In this study, the association between the human emotional appraisal of animal vocalizations and the perceived roughness was examined across three sound categories—mammals, birds, and insects. The results suggest that roughness is an ecologically meaningful auditory code that drives emotional responses to animal sounds in humans. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0043952

Quantifying the ocean soundscape is crucial for ocean-based seismoacoustic monitoring; it sets a baseline for the kinds and sizes of signals that can be detected above the background noise. As sea ice recedes, human activity in and around the Arctic Ocean is increasing, elevating sound levels and heightening the urgency of monitoring. This work evaluates the geophysical and anthropogenic sources of hydroacoustic noise in the Alaskan arctic: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0044094
