This mechanism could explain the Bloop's wide detection range and distinct acoustic signature. [7] As oceanographer Yunbo Xie explains, the alteration of waveforms from a detected sound "can also be caused by so-called angular frequency dependent radiation patterns associated with antisymmetric mode motion of the ice cover."
A spectrogram of Bloop. Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low-frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. The sound is consistent with the noises generated by icequakes in large icebergs, or large icebergs scraping the ocean floor. [3]
Noise curves are a common way to characterise background noise in unoccupied buildings and spaces. [1] Their purpose is to produce a single-value representation of a complete sound spectrum. International standards organizations ( ISO , [ 2 ] ANSI [ 3 ] and ASA ) recognize the need to objectify judgements on the amount of ambient noise in ...
Approximate map of the 52-hertz whale's migration range. The 52-hertz whale was discovered by a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.Its call was first detected in 1989, then again in 1990 and 1991. [8]
Or roadway noise is measured as ambient sound, prior to introducing a hypothetical noise barrier intended to reduce that ambient noise level. Ambient noise level is measured with a sound level meter. [4] It is usually measured in dB relative to a reference pressure of 0.00002 Pa, i.e., 20 μPa (micropascals) in SI units. [5]
A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level.

To learn more about noise from the Cranston range, see Fang's reportand visit Brown's School of Public Health on Nov. 14 at 5:30 p.m. for a panel discussion in Room 241. The event is free to the ...
The total range of the species is roughly 380 000 km 2. [10] In the 1980s, ... The mating call of the Ludwig's bustard is a deep ‘bloop’ noise. [12]
