The Impact

The present study aims to gain better insight into the connection between music and dance by examining the dynamic effects of the bass drum on a dancing audience in a club-like environment. One hundred adult participants moved freely in groups of five to a musical sequence that comprised six songs. Each song consisted of one section that was repeated three times, each time with a different sound pressure level of the bass drum. Hip and head movements were recorded using motion capture and motion sensing. The study demonstrates that people modify their bodily behavior according to the dynamic level of the bass drum when moving to contemporary dance music in a social context. Participants moved more actively and displayed a higher degree of tempo entrainment as the sound pressure level of the bass drum increased. These results indicate that the prominence of the bass drum in contemporary dance music serves not merely as a stylistic element; indeed, it has a strong influence on dancing itself.

<p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstract: </strong>This paper reports the test results of a loudspeaker-based acoustic energy harvester with acoustic random noise sources from a motorcycle. The harvester consists of a quarter wavelength resonator and a subwoofer type loudspeaker with a nominal diameter of 6 inches. The motorcycle used in this experiment is 135 cc Bajaj Pulsar motorsport with modified exhaust from the GBS-Motosport Jakarta. The motor engine is operated at 3000 rpm, resulting in noise with a fluctuating Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in the range of (90-93) dB. Six variations of resonator lengths are used, those are 21 cm, 31 cm, 58 cm, 85 cm, 112 cm, and 139 cm. In this test, data of dominant frequency, SPL, and output rms voltage were taken for 15 minutes. The rms voltage is measured at 100 Ω load resistor. The results show that the 112 cm resonator produces the highest average rms electrical power, that is (0.21 ± 0.01) mW, which is obtained at frequency that fluctuates within (95-120) Hz. In addition, with random sound sources, SPL and its dominant frequency fluctuate greatly, so it will greatly affect the generated electric power. Further research is needed to enhance the output electrical power and anticipate the impact of frequency fluctuation which exists in random noise sources.</p><p class="AbstractEnglish"><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Paper ini memaparkan hasil pengujian alat pemanen energi akustik berbasis <em>loudspeaker </em>dengan sumber kebisingan acak dari mesin kendaraan bermotor. Alat pemanen energi akustik ini terdiri dari resonator seperempat panjang gelombang dan <em>loudspeaker</em> jenis <em>subwoofer</em> dengan diameter nominal 6 inci. Sumber kebisingan yang digunakan adalah motor Bajaj Pulsar 135 cc dengan knalpot modifikasi dari GBS-Motosport Jakarta. Mesin motor dioperasikan pada laju putaran tetap 3000 rpm, sehingga menghasilkan kebisingan dengan <em>SPL</em> (<em>sound pressure level</em>) yang berfluktuasi dalam interval (90-93) dB. Digunakan enam variasi panjang resonator, yaitu 21 cm, 31 cm, 58 cm, 85 cm, 112 cm, dan 139 cm. Dalam pengujian ini, data frekuensi dominan kebisingan, <em>SPL</em> kebisingan, dan tegangan keluaran alat pemanen energi akustik diambil selama 15 menit. Tegangan <em>rms</em> keluaran diukur pada resistor beban 100 Ω. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa resonator dengan panjang 112 cm menghasilkan daya listrik <em>rms</em> rata-rata tertinggi yaitu sebesar (0,21 ± 0,01) mW, diperoleh pada frekuensi yang berfluktuasi antara 95 Hz sampai 120 Hz. Selain itu, hasil eksperimen ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan sumber bunyi acak, <em>SPL</em> kebisingan dan frekuensi dominannya sangat berfluktuasi, sehingga akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap daya listrik yang dihasilkan. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan daya listrik keluaran dan mengantisipasi dampak fluktuasi frekuensi sumber kebisingan acak.</p>

This study aims to determine the level of noise caused by flight activities at Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport Pekanbaru, analyze noise levels that occur due to flight activities at Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport Pekanbaru and analyze efforts to control the negative impact of airport noise on the living environment of community settlements. around Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport Pekanbaru. This research uses field observation method, which is making direct observations at the research location by looking at the condition of the location and the suitability of the location which is the sampling point of the study (the noise level boundary at Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport). Observations were made for 16 hours (Ls) at an interval of 06.00 - 22.00. Measurement of sound pressure level is carried out on holidays (Sunday) and weekdays (Monday), which starts on November 1, November 2, November 8, and November 9, 2020, which is carried out in residential areas around Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport Pekanbaru, which are spread across 6 measurement points where the measurement of sound pressure level is done in duplicate, namely: Jl. Kaswari (point 1), Jl. Rawa Indah II (Point 2), Jl. Rawa Indah III (Point 3), Jl. Cinnamon (Point 4), Jl. Pahlawan Kerja gg.Pala 49 (Point 5) and Jl. Nur Asiyah (Point 6) The results of the processing of noise measurement data were made of a mapping model using surfer 11 software and to clarify the noise description at the sampling location, the map of the results of surfer 11 software processing was plotted on the airport area map.     Based on the results of measurements of noise levels around Sultan Syarif Kasim II airport, it is known that the location of point 1 (Jl. Rawa Indah II) experienced the highest noise exposure. These results indicate the location of point 1 should receive serious attention for the people who live around the airport, because the impact of airport noise has the potential to negatively affect the lives of residential communities. From the observations, it was also known that the level of noise attenuation was still low, both in terms of trees around the settlement and height, walls and fences were still not effective at reducing noise.         Based on the results of measurements of noise levels around Sultan Syarif Kasim II airport, it is known that the location of point 1 (Jl.

Abstract As an efficient approach to improve the visibility, defogging technology is essential for the operation of ports and airports. This paper proposes a new and hybrid defogging technology, i.e. electric–acoustic defogging method. Specifically, the droplets are charged by corona discharge, which is beneficial to overcome the hydrodynamic interaction force to improve the droplet collision efficiency. Meanwhile, sound waves (especially acoustic turbulence) promote the relative movement of droplets to increase the collision probability. In this study, the effects of acoustic frequency ( f ), sound pressure level (SPL), and voltage (V) on the droplet growth ratio were studied by orthogonal design analysis. The results of difference analysis and multi-factor variance analysis show that frequency and sound pressure level are the dominant factors that affect the collision of droplets, and the effect of voltage is relatively weak. And f = 400 Hz, SPL = 132 dB, and V = -7.2 kV are the optimal parameters in our experiment. In addition, we further studied the impact of single factor on droplet growth ratio. The results show that there is an optimal frequency of 400 Hz. That is, the impact of frequency is non-linear. The droplet growth ratio increases with sound pressure level and voltage level. The new technology proposed in this paper can provide a new approach for defogging in open space.

Based on the manual of macroporous noise-reducing asphalt pavement design, the indoor main drive pavement function accelerated loading test system was applied to investigate the impact of speed, loading conditions (dry and wet) and structural depth on the noise reduction of macroporous Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) pavement, as well as its long-term noise reduction. Combined with the noise spectrum of the weighted sound pressure level, the main components and sensitive frequency bands of pavement noise under different factors were analyzed and compared. According to experimental results, the noise reduction effect of different asphalt pavements from strong to weak is as follows: OGFC-13 > SMA-13 > AC-13 > MS-III. The noise reduction effect of OGFC concentrates on the frequency of 1–4 kHz when high porosity effectively reduces the air pump effect. As the effect of wheels increases and the depth of the road structure decreases, the noise reduction effect of OGFC decreases. It indicates the noise reduction performance attenuates at a later stage, similar to the noise level of densely graded roads.

The Impact

A finite element analysis of acoustic propagation in a multilayered medium is presented in this paper. A circular transmitter (diameter 14 mm, thickness 3 mm) and a rectangular receiver (20×10×0.5 mm3) are set to detect the variations in the propagation pattern. A complex medium (70×40×60 mm3) composed of skin, fat, muscle, bone and liquid is designed in a simulated environment. A scale of frequencies (10 kHz to 2 MHz) is applied to trace the impact on the propagation pattern as well. It is found from the analysis that fat and liquid layers affect the acoustic propagation the most (-69 dB), which results in a significant drop in the received sound pressure level at the receiving end. Again, other than skin and fat layers, low frequencies (less than 1 MHz) are more beneficial in terms of sound pressure level. However, higher frequencies contribute to lower displacements at the receiving end, which will cause less power potential as well. ABSTRAK: Analisis elemen terhingga bagi penyebaran akustik dalam medium berlapis dibentangkan dalam kajian ini. Pemancar bulat (diameter 14 mm, ketebalan 3 mm) dan penerima segi empat tepat (20 × 10 × 0.5 mm3) diatur bagi mengesan perubahan pola penyebaran. Medium kompleks (70 × 40 × 60 mm3) yang terdiri daripada kulit, lemak, otot, tulang dan cecair direka dalam persekitaran simulasi. Skala frekuensi (10 kHz hingga 2 MHz) digunakan bagi mengesan corak penyebaran. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa lapisan lemak dan cecair mempengaruhi penyebaran akustik (-69 dB), yang mengakibatkan penurunan mendadak tahap penerimaan tekanan bunyi di hujung penerima. Selain lapisan kulit dan lemak, frekuensi rendah (kurang dari 1 MHz) adalah lebih berguna dari segi tahap tekanan suara. Walau bagaimanapun, frekuensi lebih tinggi menyebabkan kurang anjakan di hujung penerima, sekaligus mengurangkan potensi daya tenaga.

The Impact

The use of a chevron nozzle/orifice is one of the methods of heat transfer enhancement and noise reduction. In the case of synthetic jets, the number of papers on this topic is small. Therefore, a synthetic jet actuator with three different chevron orifices and one circular orifice is investigated. The aim of this study is to find the impact of orifice shape on centerline velocity (measured with a hot-wire anemometer) and determine if the chevron orifice reduces the generated noise. The sound pressure level was strongly dependent on the input actuator’s power, and only one chevron orifice ensured noise reduction for low power (p = 6; 8 W). At real power p = 12 W, the sound pressure level was lower for each chevron orifice actuator than in the case of the circular orifice actuator. It is shown that the application of a chevron nozzle does not have to provide noise reduction. It is important in the case of the design of new actuators that are to operate in places where noise levels should be limited (e.g., offices).
