Listening Room
The listening room is a general-purpose room for conducting experiments that includes a projector and curtains to modify the acoustics.
The Journal of Sound and Vibration was founded to meet the need for a high-quality publication dedicated to the study of sound and vibration. It aims to disseminate papers of a high technical standard across various subdisciplines, fostering interdisciplinary awareness and promoting the exchange of techniques and discoveries that may have broader applications.
