Effect of perceived dominance and pleasantness on the total noise annoyance responses evoked by augmenting road traffic noise with birdsong/stream sound (2023)
Journal Article
Chau, C. K., Leung, T. M., Chung, W. K., & Tang, S. K. (2023). Effect of perceived dominance and pleasantness on the total noise annoyance responses evoked by augmenting road traffic noise with birdsong/stream sound. Applied acoustics. Acoustique appliqué. Angewandte Akustik, 213, Article 109650. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109650

Earlier studies suggested that sound preferences or soundscape quality could be improved by augmenting the acoustic environment originally dominated by road traffic noise by birdsong or water sound. However, little has been known on whether and how t...

Modelling the sound absorption of panels with tapered elliptic micro-perforations (2023)
Journal Article
Fung, M. L., Tang, S. K., & Leung, M. (2023). Modelling the sound absorption of panels with tapered elliptic micro-perforations. Applied acoustics. Acoustique appliqué. Angewandte Akustik, 213, Article 109654. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2023.109654

A theoretical model is developed in the present study to predict the spectral characteristics of the sound absorption of solid panels with tapered elliptic micro-perforations backed by a rigid wall cavity. In the model, plane wave propagation is assu... Read More about Modelling the sound absorption of panels with tapered elliptic micro-perforations.

With the UK aiming to achieve 50 GW of offshore renewable energy by 2030, offshore construction will increase in tandem. The construction noise associated with wind turbine installation has gained much attention over the years, with sound emissions t...

Experimental investigation on the enhancement of plenum window noise reduction using solid scatterers (2023)
Journal Article
Li, X. L., Lam, W. K., & Tang, S. K. (2023). Experimental investigation on the enhancement of plenum window noise reduction using solid scatterers. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 153(2), 1361-1374. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0017353

The sound transmission across plenum windows installed with rigid non-resonant cylindrical scatterer arrays was investigated in detail using scale-down model measurements carried out inside a fully anechoic chamber. The arrays have manifested to some... Read More about Experimental investigation on the enhancement of plenum window noise reduction using solid scatterers.
