We encounter a wide range of sounds everyday which are harmonic, transient or a mixture of both. A number of models have been developed in recent years to synthesise harmonic sounds but these models do not perform effectively on transient sounds because of the sharp attack and decay part of the transient sounds. This paper presents a new technique for analysis-based synthesis of transient sounds by adding orthogonal bases of frequency bands. The proposed technique consists of four stages. First, the sound samples taken from a group of sounds are decomposed into frequency bands using the stationary wavelet transform (SWT). A set of orthonormal bases for each frequency band is then computed using singular value decomposition (SVD). The model parameters for all sounds present in the group are derived from the orthogonal basis and their weights. Finally, the required sound is synthesised by adding the weighted orthogonal basis for each frequency band and then taking the inverse stationary wavelet transform (ISWT). The proposed technique provides a generic synthesis approach to synthesise a diverse transient set of sounds using a single analysis-synthesis model.

Assessment of non-exponential sound energy decays within multi-domed monuments by numerical and experimental methods Sü Gül, Zühre; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015) The key concern of this study is to investigate sound fields of single space superstructures sheltered with multiple-domes, in terms of their potential for featuring non-exponential sound energy decay characteristics. In this framework, Süleymaniye Mosque and Hagia Sophia Museum are selected as cases for investigating the effects of different material use and volumetric contribution on multi-slope decay formation. Methodology involves joint use of in-situ acoustical measurements and acoustical simulations. ...
Interactions of perceived intensity, duration, and pitch in pure tone sequences Tekman, HG (1997-03-01) If one dimension of sound is manipulated in a way that suggests a particular rhythmic organization, does perception of other dimensions change in ways that are consistent with the same rhythmic organization? When subjects were asked to judge or adjust intensities of tones, rhythmic manipulations of pitch structure changed the perception of intensity. When subjects were asked to judge timing, rhythmic manipulations of intensity had a similar effect. Timing manipulations did not have an effect on judgments of...
Proposal of a New Tool for 3D Pattern Generation Sorguç, Arzu (2015-07-01) The behavior of sound in an enclosed space is very complex. This behavior is closely related to boundaries, material properties and with the form of the space they are in. In this paper, the image source method as a method for modeling the sound field in enclosed spaces is re-visited and patterns of image sources and their relationships with the geometry of enclosing space is studied by using polygons/polyhedrons in 2D and 3D. Symmetries of these image source points, identification of possible polygons enab...
Audio Feature and Classifier Analysis for Efficient Recognition of Environmental Sounds Okuyucu, Cigdem; SERT, MUSTAFA; Yazıcı, Adnan (2013-12-11) Environmental sounds (ES) have different characteristics, such as unstructured nature and typically noiselike and flat spectrums, which make recognition task difficult compared to speech or music sounds. Here, we perform an exhaustive feature and classifier analysis for the recognition of considerably similar ES categories and propose a best representative feature to yield higher recognition accuracy. In the experiments, thirteen (13) ES categories, namely emergency alarm, car horn, gun, explosion, automobi...
Modelling sound source localization under precedence effect using multivariate Gaussian mixtures Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2002-10-10) The precedence effect refers to the property of the human auditory system that enables accurate localization of sound sources where many interfering echoes of the original signal are also present. Perception of the elevation, azimuth, and distance of sound sources are affected in the presence of an echo. The multivariate Gaussian mixture model proposed in this paper combines azimuth, elevation and distance perception, and provides a general framework for mode...
