(author), Miller, P.J.O. (author)To understand the consequences of underwater noise exposure for cetaceans, there is a need for assessments of behavioural responses over increased spatial and temporal scales. Bottom-moored acoustic recorders and satellite tags provide such long-term and large spatial coverage of behaviour compared to short-duration acoustic-recording tags....article 2019

Data Collection and Modeling Results to Permit Estimation of Meteorological Effects on Roadway NoiseWayson, R.L. (author), Kaliski, K. (author), MacDonald, J.M. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Reiter, D.D. (author)The estimation of absolute road traffic noise levels without including the effects of meteorology is thought to be a major source of error in the estimation process commonly used in the United States. In response, the Transportation Research Board-sponsored NCHRP 25-52, Meteorological Effects on Roadway Noise, to collect highway noise data under...article 2019

Bosschaart, C. (author)The Royal Netherlands Navy operates a low-frequency active sonar consisting of a combination of a towed sonar source and receiver array in order to detect and classify objects underwater. The operation involves transmitting high power underwater sound towards an object and detecting the echo reflected by the object. Operating a towed source at...conference paper 2019

(author)Marine mammals may be negatively affected by anthropogenic noise. Behavioural response studies (BRS) aim to establish a relationship between noise exposure conditions (dose) from a potential stressor and associated behavioural responses of animals. A recent series of BRS have focused on the effects of naval sonar sounds on cetaceans. Here, we...article 2018

Brouns, E. (author), van der Eerden, F. (author), Eisses, A.R. (author), Kruyen, A.H.J. (author), van Vliet, W. (author)A series of resonators alongside a road or railway can be used to diffract noise upwards to create a zone of noise reduction behind the elements. The company 4Silence developed the so-called Whisstone, a concrete block with 18 resonators of different depths designed to operate in a broad frequency range. Several measurements at short distance,...conference paper 2018

(author), Wändell, J. (author)The noise produced during a train pass-by originates from several different sources such as propulsion noise, noise from auxiliary equipment, aerodynamic noise and rolling noise. The rolling noise is radiated by the wheels and the track and is excited by the wheel and rail unevenness, usually referred to as roughness. The current TSI Noise...article 2018

White, K. (author), Bronkhorst, A.W. (author), Meeter, M. (author)Previous studies have shown that identifiability of sound sources influence noise annoyance levels. The aim of the present experiment was to additionally study the effects of actively performing a task versus a less active pastime on noise annoyance. This was done by asking participants to perform a task (task condition) or read a magazine of...article 2018

(author)A long-term monitoring project, with 12 months of continuous operation time, is described where the sound sources within a large industrial area as well as the sound levels in the nearby residential area are measured. The sources in the industrial area may give rise to complaints from the neighboring residential areas, at several kilometers...conference paper 2017

(author)During Continuous Descent Approaches (CDAs) aircraft glide towards the runway resulting in reduced noise and fuel usage. Here, we investigated whether such landings cause less noise annoyance than a regular stepwise approach. Both landing types were compared in a controlled laboratory setting with a Virtual Community Noise Simulator (VCNS),...article 2017

White, K. (author), Bronkhorst, A.W. (author), Meeter, M. (author)Aircraft noise is consistently rated as more annoying than noise from other sources with similar intensity. In three experiments, it was investigated whether this penalty is due to the source identity of the noise. In the first experiment, four samples were played to participants engaged in a working memory task: road traffic noise, an Airbus...article 2017
