Researchers study acoustic communication in deep-sea fish
An international research team studying sound production in deep-sea fishes has found that cusk-eels use several sets of muscles to produce sound that plays a prominent role in male mating calls. View More (2008-09-25)
Turning sound into light
Actors who perform in musicals often sweat in torrents when they have to zap around the stage on roller-skates or sing a ballad under a burning spotlight, dressed in bearskin. To allow the audience to hear them clearly, the artists wear cleverly hidden microphones underneath their make-up and costume. But as soon they break into a sweat, the microphone can short-circuit within seconds. This is... View More (2003-09-18)
Bed bugs are not repelled by commercial ultrasonic frequency devices
According to a soon-to-be-published article in the Journal of Economic Entomology, commercial devices that produce ultrasound frequencies are NOT promising tools for repelling bed bugs. View More (2012-12-10)
See no shape, touch no shape, hear a shape?
Scientists at The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro, McGill University have discovered that our brains have the ability to determine the shape of an object simply by processing specially-coded sounds, without any visual or tactile input. View More (2010-10-20)
Scientists unveil mysteries of plasma jets on the Sun
Scientists at the University of Sheffield and Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab have solved a 127-year-old problem about the origin of supersonic plasma jets (spicules) which continuously shoot up from the Sun. Their findings are published in today's edition of Nature. Spicules, are jets of gas or plasma that are propelled upwards from the surface of the Sun at speeds of about 90,000...

Rhyme & rhythm offers new approach on dyslexia
A groundbreaking theory about dyslexia could offer new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Scientists at University College London have challenged accepted thinking, by testing rhythmic ability in dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. Dyslexia involves difficulty in language processing across reading, writing and speech. It is assumed there is an underlying deficit in sound processing... View More (2002-07-22)
Do you hear what i see?
New research pinpoints specific areas in sound processing centers in the brains of macaque monkeys that shows enhanced activity when the animals watch a video. View More (2007-02-21)
Muffling noisy central heating systems
Droning noises generated by central heating boilers can aggravate good neighborly relations. Fraunhofer scientists have developed a compact sound attenuator for boiler exhaust vents. The active silencer employs electronics to damp noise emission. During the cold season, the droning sound of the central heating is just one of an assortment of everyday background noises. "In general, most home... View More (2002-03-05)
Cambridge software improves quality of sound for hearing aid users
A new software product developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge could greatly improve sound perception for users of hearing aids. View More (2012-11-09)
Brain center for 'sound space' identified
While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain terra incognita. Now, researchers have identified the region responsible for a key auditory process-perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds. View More (2007-09-20)
New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes. View More (2008-02-13)
Sounds of northern lights are born close to ground
For the first time, researchers at Aalto University in Finland have located where the sounds associated with the northern lights are created. View More (2012-07-10)
The sounds of Mars and Venus are revealed for the first time
In a world first, the sounds of Mars and Venus are revealed as part of a planetarium show in Hampshire this Easter.

Caltech engineers develop 1-way transmission system for sound waves
While many hotel rooms, recording studios, and even some homes are built with materials to help absorb or reflect sound, mechanisms to truly control the direction of sound waves are still in their infancy. View More (2011-07-27)
Diamonds key to a sparkling listening experience
Music lovers could be in for the ultimate listening experience, thanks to a new range of speakers containing parts made of diamond, writes Marina Murphy in the Chemistry & Industry magazine. The unique properties of diamond make the speakers less susceptible to distortion and thus provide a clearer sound, say their manufacturers Bowers & Wilkins (B&W), UK. View More (2005-02-18)
Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. View More (2007-08-03)
Sound investment: A new mathematical method provides a better way to analyze noise
Humans have 200 million light receptors in their eyes, 10 to 20 million receptors devoted to smell, but only 8,000 dedicated to sound. View More (2006-07-27)
Musicians risk impaired hearing
A study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University, Sweden, showed that 74 percent of rock/jazz musicians in the test group have impaired hearing. But as many as 68 percent of classical musicians also evinced impairments. A large proportion of the musicians have troublesome combinations of hearing problems, such as tinnitus.

MPEG-4 Audio-Visual Solutions One-Stop At Fraunhofer IIS
High-quality video transmission with multi-channel sound through DSL connections finally becomes reality thanks to an up to now unmatched efficiency in audio and video compression. The revolutionary new multimedia technology can be licensed one-stop at Fraunhofer IIS. MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding AVC allows screen-filling video in good quality at data rates of less than one megabit per second.... View More (2004-06-21)
Archive Trawl Gives Bison Three Decades Of Solar Music
Scientists in Birmingham have scoured the archives and put together a complete archive of helioseismic data for nearly three solar cycles. The results from reprocessing the data will shed light on the link between helioseismology, the study of sound waves resonating within the Sun, and solar activity. Dr Graham Verner will be presenting preliminary findings at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting... View More (2005-03-30)
