Multi-rate decays are sometimes observed in room acoustics, appearing when markedly different volumes are coupled together and resulting in nonlinear decay curves. Such behavior appears in several churches at the very beginning of the decay process, although in conditions which cannot be explicitly referred to as coupling phenomena. Consequently, multi-rate exponential decays may be suitable to model energy distribution in this group of buildings, providing a more elegant and easily applicable set of equations in place of a previously defined "linear" model, used to adapt Barron's revised theory. The paper shows that the multi-rate approach ensures ease of calculation, without significant loss in accuracy in predicting energy-based acoustic parameters.

Challenges remain in the design and manufacture of acoustic devices with excellent broadband sound absorption performance. Herein, an efficient acoustic absorber with hierarchical pore structure and additional acoustic-electrical energy conversion mechanism is reported in which combined zirconia porous ceramics and P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric aerogels. Reticular cross-scale pore structure enables sound waves to propagate and dissipate effectively.

Stored products, such as grains and processed foods, are susceptible to infestation by various insects. The early detection of insects in the supply chain is crucial, as introducing invasive pests to new environments may cause disproportionate harm. The STAR Center at Stevens Institute of Technology developed the Acoustic Stored Product Insect Detection System (A-SPIDS) to detect pests in stored products.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new energy-based source strength model (E-SSIM) for predicting vehicle noise, addressing limitations in existing models and establishing a clearer theoretical framework for sound power levels.
- E-SSIM integrates acoustical principles with vehicle energy consumption using multivariate regression, and its effectiveness is validated through sensitivity analysis and road experiments.
- Results show that E-SSIM offers improved accuracy in predicting sound pressure levels compared to traditional models, especially at varying speeds, achieving a reduction in mean absolute percentage error.
