TL;DR: Soundscape research represents a paradigm shift from noise control policies towards a new multidisciplinary approach as it involves not only physical measurements but also the cooperation of humanity and social sciences to account for the diversity of soundscapes across countries and cultures, with more focus on how people actually experience the acoustic environments; and it considers environmental sounds as a "resource" rather than a "waste" as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of tools available to measure, analyse and describe sound quality on the one hand and how to improve it on the other hand, for the acoustical engineer it becomes important to know what kind of tools are available for measuring, analysing and describing sound quality.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use further hearing-related parameters to improve the description and evaluation of environmental noise, such as frequency spectrum, duration, impulsive, tonal and low frequency components, etc.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical system model of the monaural signal processing in the human auditory system is presented, which deals with the application of this hearing model to the calculation of just-noticeable amplitude differences and variations, as well as elementary psychoacoustic parameters and a deconvolution algorithm for the detection of dominant spectral components based on the excitation pattern of the basilar membrane.

TL;DR: In this article, an active filter with free-field sound exposure from the front of the microphone is used to ensure a frequency response of a microphone's transmission functions which is comparable with that of a measurement microphone.
