Infrasound is all around us.
Held in MC 4060, on 2015-07-08, at 6 PM.
Abstract
Infra sound refers to sound waves below the range of human hearing.
Infra sound comes from a number of natural phenomena including weather
changes, thunder, and ocean waves. Common man made sources include
heating and ventilation systems, industrial machinery, moving vehicle
cabins (air, trains, cars), and energy generation (wind turbines, gas
plants).
In this talk Richard Mann will present equipment he has built to measure infra sound, and
analyse some of the infra sound he has recorded.
Note: In Winter 2016 Richard Mann will be offering a new course, in Computer Sound. The
course will appear as CS489/CS689 ("Topics in Computer Science"). This
is a project-based course (60% assignments, 40% project, no final).
