Acoustical Engineers have to combine their understanding of physical principles, human perception and technological possibilities so as to design a world that sounds better \u2013 whether it be clearer classrooms, quieter jet engines or superior stereo systems.<\/p>\n<p>The power of horns to amplify sounds has been recognised throughout history. Our first year Acoustical Engineering students were challenged to design, build and test a series of horns, each emphasising a different frequency range giving each one a characteristic sound. They used numerical modelling software to predict the effects of the design, CAD modelling to define the shape, 3D printing to manufacture their design and a specialist acoustic test facility to measure the results.<\/p>\n<div class='fotorama--wp' data-ids='1159,1158,1157,1156'data-link='file'data-itemtag='dl'data-icontag='dt'data-captiontag='dd'data-columns='0'data-size='large'data-width='900'data-auto='false'data-max-width='100%'data-ratio='1.25'><div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1154 gallery-columns-0 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0004.jpg' data-full='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0004.jpg'><img width=\"120\" height=\"96\" src=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0004.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0004.jpg 900w, http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0004-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0003.jpg' data-full='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0003.jpg'><img width=\"128\" height=\"86\" src=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0003.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0003.jpg 887w, http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0003-768x515.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0002.jpg' data-full='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0002.jpg'><img width=\"128\" height=\"73\" src=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0002.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0002.jpg 1194w, http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0002-768x437.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0001.jpg' data-full='http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0001.jpg'><img width=\"128\" height=\"81\" src=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0001.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0001.jpg 1159w, http:\/\/uosdesign.org\/designshow2017\/files\/2017\/06\/screencapture0001-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sound is one our principle senses and a crucial part of our environment.
