MELVILLE, N.Y., December 10, 2020 With each atom assigned a tonal signature based on its spectral signature, music can be a powerful tool for helping students understand atomic structure.
Jill Linz, at Skidmore College, is working toward synthesizing unique tones for each element to create an acoustic version of the periodic table. She will discuss her progress and the potential applications of the project at the 179th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, which will be held virtually Dec. 7-10.

MELVILLE, N.Y., December 10, 2020 Listeners can extract a lot of information about a person from their acoustic speech signal. When researchers previously put this to the test, listeners were able to identify both race and regional dialects within the U.S. with moderate to high accuracy.
During the 179th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, which will be held virtually Dec. 7-10, Tessa Bent, Emerson Wolff, and Jennifer Lentz, of Indiana University, will describe their study in which listeners were told to categorize 144 unique audio clips of monolingual English talkers into Midland, New York City, and Southern U.S. dialect regions, and Asian American, Black/African American, or white speakers.

MELVILLE, N.Y., December 10, 2020 As restaurants get noisier, the increasing noise levels could deter older patrons, especially those with mild to severe hearing loss.
Pasquale Bottalico, Rachael Piper, and Brianna Legner, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will discuss their work on investigating acceptable noise levels that won t cause restaurant visitors, who come as much for the social experience as for the dining, to stay away from certain establishments. Identifying acceptable noise levels helps establish truly age-friendly communities.
