A great deal of human communication happens within the interchange of acute acoustic attractions. Speech includes beside the layer of content a unlimited range of filigree nonverbal forms of expression. Those parts seem to be even more important for the impact of a spoken evidence than the concrete matter of the spoken words. Beyond that […]
Mechanical sound generating devices, like industrial machines, cars, planes, air conditioners, or construction vehicles provide fundamental capabilities of modern life. Coincidental those devices transmit heavy amounts of sound pressure. Beside quantity and in contrast to those sounds described above, the quality of those sounds is characterized by the lack of information those sounds imply. A […]
On the one hand side noise affects the acoustic communication. The permitted outdoor exposure levels in the zone of influence of airports for example are regulated by law. Those laws legitimate announcer-listener-relations which are so bad, that those demand a strong effort for a verbal conversation between two healthy, grown up individuals over a distance […]
Despite of the striking state of things we have to assert, that the general condition of the hearing aid as one of the most important cognitive human senses is disregarded. This is essential for individual and public perspective. The acoustic environment sinks more and more inside a dirty carpet of industrial noise. Accordingly more and […]
Under these circumstances we have to face the implications of a negative scenario. If noise pollution further rise aural and extraaural damages will expand to a even bigger group within the human population. The situation aggravates concerning a aging society in western industrial countries. Damages to the hearing aid will emerge to a hard to […]
Complex sonic systems underlie a spiral progression. Rising noise contamination lead to higher levels of sounds, intending to predominate the noise carpet. Aim is to invert the negative cycle. Therefore the collaboration of everybody involved in this situation is needed. It is important for everybody in this group to identify the drawback on the one […]
It is to admit that even this importuned first step is barely reachable by a appropriate amount of expenses. It is rather the opposite. More and more areas which were contained moderately have to carry bigger and bigger amounts of different traffic forms and also at hot spots of noise pollution the contamination rises constantly. […]
Here the Acoustic Refuge Project is following up. Our Aim is to put up acoustic shelter at the most noise polluted focal points. In those refuge shelters people are able to experience free of industrial noise sensory perceptions of high and positive symbolic content.
