a cluster of actions (compositional techniques, strategies, processes)
- mapping community spaces acoustically through measurements
- using soundplan acoustics software to model measured spaces
- using data sets and soundplan with the citysounds project as a backdrop
- setting up a soundsystem in SIAL and Warehouse Sound Systems for measured sound levels of a reference system
- measuring sound transmission loss through existing structures as indication of sound level reference
- using this data in mapped acoustic spaces
- interpreting data through SEPP noise guidelines to evaluate community amenity reduction from LF
- install ‘buttkicker’ in a 1m x1m dancefloor and evaluate LF energy transfer
- test and investigate coupling methods and material construction for maximum efficiency and smooth LF reproduction
- subjective analysis of LF reproduction compared with acoustic only system to tune a complete design
- reference new level in acoustic models
- compare cost breakdown of floor against construction acoustic attenuation methods
a cluster of inhabitations (habitats to be transformed: program, site, event)
- SIAL sound space postgraduate facility - Warehouse Sound Systems - measurements from Brunswick Street - city sounds virtual space - existing audio systems - outcome: the installation of systems into existing spaces to reduce community amenity impact, and the integration into future constucted environments that incorporate music enterianment with high denisty living and / or commercial uses
a cluster of urges (desires and directionality: aims, hopes, attractions)
- to reduce community amenity impact from LF without compromising music experience
- to reduce associated hearing damage from LF sound arising from TTS offset and overall SPL levels
- to have a complete product to offer as a solution to noise problems
- toestablish this design in the creation of future entertianment complexes
- to make a good living off it...
a cluster of questions (wonderings, quandaries, problems)
- how is LF energy transferred through direct contact compared with acoustic energy
- how can a system be balanced to not rely on dancefloor contact and be cost effective
- what are the hearing damage risks of High Intensity Low Frequency (HILF)
- what are the costs involved in acoustic attenuation compared with new system design
- what are the entertainment only applications for the system
- how can costs be reduced through dancefloor material
- what are the physical health risks of LF vibration
