Assessing the indoor soundscape approach among university students’ home study places

2025-06-13 by Bianca Scherpenhuyzen

After being inspired by Amneh’s research about students experience of their study soundscapes we caught up for an interview with her and found out more about Amneh and what her broader interests are around her research. Amneh has just recently completed her PhD with TU Delft. Do all university students prefer quiet and private study […]

The Impact of Noise on the Learning of Children and Adolescents

2025-05-29 by Andrés Martínez Banda

Recent research published by Universitat Rovira i Virgili [1] presents a meta-analysis reviewing the impact of noise on the academic and cognitive performance of non-university students. This meta-analysis compiles the most important and significant findings from numerous research studies conducted worldwide and confirms what much of the educational community and many parents had suspected: noise […]

How Sound Shapes Our Schools: Teachers’ Perceptions of School Soundscapes

2025-03-14 by Colin Campbell

Guest post by Hatice Kurukose Cal, Phd candidate, Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, UCL, UK Teachers play a key role in shaping the soundscape of a school, but how do they perceive the acoustics around them, and how does it impact their work? Our research delves into UK teachers’ perceptions of school soundscapes, exploring how […]

How noise affects decision-making

2024-12-17 by Magda Szubert

How noise affect decision making

Noise has always been seen as a challenge in workplaces, but its impact on decision-making—especially in experience-based judgments—is not yet fully understood. This article looks at two research studies that explore how noise affects decision-making and the practical implications of their findings. Why room acoustics matter in decision making Efficient decision-making is essential in workplace […]

Aural Diversity Toolkit Arup and the Aural Diversity Network have developed a toolkit to help designers create spaces and environments that meet the needs of everyone. This toolkit addresses the broader needs of those with aural sensitivities and provides a comprehensive set of recommendations, further research and other relevant aspects to consider to better inform […]

The Impact of Ceiling Profiles on Room Acoustics

2024-12-05 by Bianca Scherpenhuyzen

Introduction The project aims to explore an underutilized aspect of acoustic optimization: the geometric design of ceilings profiles. While material-based solutions have been extensively studied and implemented, ceiling geometry offers a largely untapped opportunity. Research has consistently shown that ceilings significantly influence room acoustics. However, they are often treated as static, planar elements designed primarily […]

A Child Perspective on Noise Exposure and Health Effects – Challenges and Strategies

2024-09-26 by Colin Campbell

The filmed keynote presentation from Inter-noise2024 this summer is now available. Abstract (plus some relevant slides from the presentation): The presentation discusses the challenges of adopting a child perspective on noise exposure and the health effects due to noise. It takes as a point of departure a child perspective on vulneralility, including exposure, susceptibility to […]
