Welcome to the official RU-vid channel of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA).
You can find short videos created by ASA and ASA members on a variety of acoustics topics on this channel. The videos on this channel will spark interest and discussion about sound.

We live next to a park that has hockey, a pool, skateboarders, a music pavilion, playground and it's all joyful noise. But once they put pickleball it became an unbearable noise. Neighborhoods don't mind kids laughing and people playing basketball, because pickleball noise is different. Listen to what he is saying about why pickleball is different and a problem. Don't just be rude and ignorant to nice neighborhoods. I urge you to stand next to a pickleball court unbiased and imagine that impulsive noise going all day... try to be empathetic to the neighbors. We need kindness in this world. Parks need to plan where they put the courts. Just put them far away from houses. Simple.
I am always amazed by the "smart" remarks made by people who think they can bring their joyful Noise into the homes of people whose home is their refuse from the every day stress's of life. People who think they have a right to play pickleball near anyone's home are selfish and insensitive and have no sense of the damage they are doing to other peoples health. They don't care.
Such a rude comment. Most of these families either have children or have raised their children in those homes, living peacefully near the local park for decades and are now retired and hoped to spend there last years without living next to a loud outdoor pickleball facility open 7 days a week. Even God wants a Sabbath! docs.google.com/document/d/16s8vQbAu2dWh_Pwz2qR10f-_Z-CUcdWyaguDZgEKbC8/edit?usp=sharing
What bothers me is when people buy houses that are next to/close to things that can be a nuisance....be it pickle ball courts, race tracks, community pools/clubhouse/rec areas, small airports, etc and then complain about the noise, get them shut down, or cost them exorbitant amounts of money in legal fess and noise abatement that they are no longer profitable or enjoyable and end up shutting down.
@@NaliniLasiewicz No, they did not specifically mention that exact thing. That said, neighborhoods are not static places, people move in and move out. There are many documented cases where the new residents complain about existing nuisances, like Pickleball, race tracks, etc and then do as I stated to have them shut down or cause unnecessary or unfair legal expenses. So yes, they are related to the subject matter of the video, it is an additional issue not specifically addressed in the video, and it does bother me. Sorry I didn't get your approval to express my thoughts.
For a country that put men on the Moon in 1969, we sure know how to sabotage quality of life. First, we had the automotive engineers decide that having every car honk its horn when the doors are locked, is a great idea. So what do we have?...a cacophony of intrusive noise at every grocery store, mall, church, school, cemetery, etc, etc. Brilliant! Now imagine living in a neighborhood where someone is shingling their roof everyday. Again, brilliant! 😵💫
I like how he said, you could make "one or two" microphones with unwitting spiders, but there are engineering possibilities that we can possibly use to copy the spiders' methods to make the billions of specific mics that we actually want.
Noise is the primary reason wind turbines are being largely banded from onshore use in the USA. They need to be 1-1/2 - 2 miles (~3 km) or more from were people are, which even in lightly populated areas is difficult to do. There are at least two main sources of wind turbine noise. Where the blades cross the support tower creating a hushed low frequency noise transmitted through atmosphere and where the blade tips cross the ground or water throwing air pressure into the surface causing noise that is transmitted long distance through the ground or water. This talk has the uncomfortable possibility of trying to represent the noise from a wind turbine's gear box and drive train as being ALL THE NOISE from a wind turbine which would be mild, when it is the blade's noise of a hushed low frequency high intensity that likely chases away most of the fish from offshore operating wind turbines. French fishermen protested an offshore wind turbine farm installation because their experience with operating offshore wind turbines is there is no higher level marine life such as fish around large offshore wind turbines. Once a boat is within 1/2 km of an operating offshore wind turbine the noise starts being stressful on the crew. It is almost unbearable when under it. Anytime there is a documentary on servicing offshore wind turbines the service crew had turned the wind turbine off and locked the blades before approaching it. On land wind turbines transmit sound through the ground that is of low frequency at around 15 Hz where human hearing typically is stated to only go as low as 20 Hz. That 15 Hz frequency at high intensity can rattle a person's skeleton. It varies with the strength of the wind and the power the wind turbine blades are extracting. The avoidance of addressing the noise from offshore operating wind turbines to higher level marine life such as fish may with the future high maintenance costs make them an obvious expensive blunder that was largely known from the beginning. There never being a realistic equitable balance from the large impact they have on their close by environment, high capital cost, high cost maintenance at high human risk, with comparatively little electricity generated that can only substitute when available and needs to be conditioned for grid quality power. There still has to be dispatchable power available for every MW of grid contracted capacity. Unlike onshore wind turbines that are a hazard if left derelict offshore wind turbines might be left derelict as artificial reefs and marine tourist sights.
I certainly appreciate an extremely interesting and informative story such as this. Pando is indeed fascinating. What I do not appreciate about this presentation was the fact that every time any recording of the sounds made by Pando were played, there was also continual talking going on throughout each recording :/ It’s just like when you watch your local weather person. And they stand right in the spot you need to see on the map lol
WHAT IS CAUSING SOUNDS AROUND THE EARTH? Friction between the spheres results in world sounds and weather changes. The reason is that the troposphere and stratosphere are rubbing together The stratosphere is 60 thousand feet above the Earth's surface along the equator, and 40 thousand feet above the poles. The changing of these heights causes friction, thereby creating sounds during this height equalization process. Also causing or resulting in the Earth's global warming and cooling. The sounds will leave when these spheres equalize. The end result is catastrophic weather globally including extremely high seas. Discovered in 2022 by William E. Nelson
It's killing our wildlife. Marine Mammals are dying and washing up on the beach..on top of birds they kill and taking the natural beauty of our country. I went to Europe..It's all you see.there has to be another way.
A two yr study on north sea has found the birds have learnt to avoid the blades. Two the marine growth on the towers are a feeding station from marine growth Crayfish move in around the tower's.
Yes, more acoustics research please. The delight in the giggles and applause of the students echoes my reaction. As a left-hander, I noticed the high notes at first on the left, but I was able to shift sides easily at will. Some of my phantom words: Glug glug, too late
The amount of times "uhm" is said and the inability to keep track of a train of thought or complete a sentence without having to think is awful. Information is great but really need to work on presentation.
Angelique, these are middle aged academics who obsess over math, science, and the occasional Star Wars screening... The closest thing most of these people have to a social gathering is DnD bender.
