    Room Acoustics Education in Interior Architecture Programs: a Course Structure Proposal
    (SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE ACUSTICA - Spanish Acoustical Society, SEA, 2019) Kitapcı, Kıvanç; Kitapci, K.; İç Mimarlık
    Soundscape research alters the notion of room acoustics from a physical phenomenon to a new multidisciplinary approach that concerns human perception of the acoustic environment, in addition to the physical calculations and measurements. Many interior architecture programs include courses that specifically focus on room acoustics. Although a brief introduction to the technical aspects of room acoustics is considered mandatory, the current course structure does not deliver sufficient information on the human perception of the acoustic environment. Therefore, the aim of the study is to reconsider the structure of room acoustic courses and present a brand-new room acoustics course structure proposal for the interior architecture programs. The study consists of two main phases. In the first phase, a database of all courses that include various topics on room acoustics is prepared through examination of the course descriptions of all undergraduate and graduate interior architecture programs in Turkey. In the second phase, the revisions to the current state of the room acoustics course structures are advised through an in-depth systematic literature review on the research area of soundscapes. Preliminary results and the initial course structure model will be presented at the conference. © INTER-NOISE 2019 MADRID - 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering.

    An Investigation of Sound Sources in Smart Houses for Improved Machine-To Communication
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Kitapcı, Kıvanç; Alkan, A.; Yorukoglu, P.N.D.; Kitapci, K.; İç Mimarlık
    This study aims to investigate the ever-evolving indoor soundscapes of smart houses by classification of the sounds emitted from smart devices. Nowadays, communication is no longer limited to person-to-person. Smart devices frequently communicate with users by verbal or tonal notifications. Therefore, acoustic characteristics of smart houses, especially reverberation time and background noise levels, have increased importance in achieving improved and lossless signal transfer and speech intelligibility. It is hypothesized that most houses are unsuitable for effective tonal and verbal communication with smart devices regarding acoustical conditions. Within the scope of the study, the devices found in the smart technology market were investigated. The sounds emitted from the identified devices were then classified according to their communicative nature (verbal/tonal), designability, customizability, and cause (i.e., intentional or consequential). The acoustic requirements for effective communication with the individual smart devices were analyzed in addition to the resulting holistic indoor soundscape of the smart houses The results of the study will help architects, interior architects, and other environmental designers to improve the quality of communication while guiding future research to understand indoor soundscapes of smart houses. © 2023 First author et al.
