t-shape profile barriers are one of the most successful barriers among many different profiles. it has been shown that using welled diffusers on the top of t-shaped barriers makes a reactive barrier that shows better performance than that of any other used profile barriers compared with their equivalent absorbent barrier. the contribution of the top surface of reactive t-profile barriers to the...

In this paper we present a flexible, user friendly and robust active noise control (ANC) and acoustics experiment setup based on a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) duct. The experiment setup has been found to be valuable for simple active noise control, acoustic and real time digital signal processing experiments, with users ranging from high school students to researchers involv...

Psychoacoustics, or rather Psychological Acoustics, plays a significant role to date in many areas of application within acoustics. It therefore has a long and vast history to look back upon. Within its history, one central figure is definitely Hermann von Helmholtz. He paved the way for interdisciplinary acoustic r esearch in his genius book “Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen”. At his laborato...
