Modern bony fishes possess a high morphological diversity in the auditory structures and their auditory capabilities. Yet, our knowledge of how the auditory structures such as the otoliths in the inner ears and the swim bladder work together remains elusive. Gathering experimental evidence on the in-situ motion of fish auditory structures while avoiding artifacts caused by surgical exposure of the structures has been challenging for decades. Synchrotron radiation-based tomography with high spatio-temporal resolution allows to study morphofunctional issues non-invasively in an unprecedented way. We therefore aimed to develop an approach that characterizes the moving structures in 4D (= three spatial dimensions+time). We designed a miniature standing wave tube-like setup to meet both the requirements of tomography and those of tank acoustics. With this new setup, we successfully visualized the motion of isolated otoliths and the auditory structures in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and the glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus).

Absorption coefficient is an important parameter of the absorption function of the absorption material. Traditional measurement methods of absorption coefficient are standing wave tube and reverberation which have some shortcomings. In this paper, phase of the sound pressure measured by two equal distance microphones placed in the front of the absorption material is delayed in order to attain the absorption coefficient. At the last, an experiment for one absorption material is carried out, the experiment results compare with the results of the other methods above mentioned that denotes that the theory is correct and practicable.

Polyester fiber needle-punched nonwovens with different structures were manufactured and their sound absorption properties were examined using the standing wave tube method. The results show that the sound absorption property of the nonwovens depends on their thickness, needling intensity, fiber diameter and surface structure.
