About the Project
Salford is one of only two sizeable UK University groups in acoustics that undertakes specialist research, provides dedicated graduate and postgraduate training and provides commercial services to industry.
The Centre achieved the top research rating of 6* in RAE in 2001 and in 2008 it again finished in Research Fortnight’s ‘Research Power’ table in the submission to the ‘Architecture & the Built Environment’, with 90% of our research graded at international standard and 25% at world-leading standard.
The Centre has a strong reputation for world leading research including our work in diffuse reflection modeling and standardization of surface diffusion and scattering coefficients in room acoustics. This work puts us as world leader in surface diffuser research, with designs used around the world.
Architectural and building acoustics is concerned with improving the sound in rooms: we might want to reduce the background noise in a recording studio; improve the design of a public address system to make speech more intelligible in railway stations, or put acoustic treatments on walls to make music in a concert hall sound better. We carry out research into new methods for measuring and predicting how sound moves within rooms and buildings such as schools and auditoria. Another key element is measuring peoples’ responses to sound so we can understand what people want from a room design. This enables us to develop innovative ways to design rooms and building elements.
