  • Ironically, terrible sound quality

    Surely there is someone at the ASA who can help with this. It’s nearly embarrassing.

  • Finally!

    I’ve been waiting for this podcast forever! I love being an ASA member and receiving Acoustics Today and JASA in the mail and always felt like they needed a podcast to supplement the materials. Very very excited.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Active and Tunable Acoustic Metamaterials
Q: Can you give an example from the issue where tunability changed the behavior of a device?
One notable example is the leaky wave antenna where tuning the resonators altered the dispersion inside the waveguide, which changed the direction of energy radiation with frequency, illustrating how small adjustments can steer wave propagation.
Active and Tunable Acoustic Metamaterials
Q: What are the main advantages of active or tunable metamaterials over traditional fixed structures?
Active or tunable metamaterials offer real-time adaptability to changing environments and noise spectra, allowing designers to shift performance post-fabrication, broaden operational bandwidth, and implement functions like adaptive absorption or direction control that fixed structures cannot achieve.
A Call for Diversity and Inclusion in Soundscape Research
Q: What perspectives have historically been left out of soundscape research, and why is that important?
Historically, research has centered on an average listener defined by Western epistemology, often excluding people with disabilities, different cultures, and those in non-academic settings. This exclusion skews understanding of sound perception and leads to designs and policies that don't serve everyone, underscoring the need for inclusive, intersectional approaches.
A Call for Diversity and Inclusion in Soundscape Research
Q: Could you explain the concept of soundscape and how it differs from traditional understandings of environmental sound?
Soundscape combines the acoustic environment with the perception and interpretation of listeners, emphasizing subjective experience alongside objective measurements like loudness and reverberation. It differentiates itself by focusing on how different people experience the same soundscape in context, rather than treating environmental sound as a uniform, purely physical phenomenon.
Assessing Sediment Heterogeneity on Continental Shelves and Slopes
Q: How has machine learning influenced the approach to geoacoustic inversion in this work?
Machine learning and Bayesian inference have been long-standing tools in the field; recent efforts emphasize careful handling of model complexity to avoid overfitting and to maintain predictive power across frequencies, highlighting the need for protection mechanisms in inversion and model design.
