An approach based on sound classification to predict soundscape perception through machine learning
Acun, Volkan (Bilkent University, 2021-06)A growing amount of literature and a series of ISO standards focus on concept, data collection, and data analysis methods of soundscapes. Yet, this field of research still lacks predictive models. We hypothesize that machine ... -

Acun, Volkan; Yılmazer, Semiha (Elsevier, 2018)This paper presents the findings of a user focused soundscape survey, that took place in a visual task based and a computational task based open-plan office spaces. Aim of this study was to conduct a grounded theory survey ... -
Identification of individuals' emotional response to the indoor soundscape in public study areas via semantic differentiation
Acun, Volkan; Yilmazer, Semiha (Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2017)Aims of this research is to identify individuals' emotional response to the sound environment of public study areas. The research has taken place in the public study areas of Bilkent University Campus. These study areas ... -
Investigating the effect of indoor soundscaping towards employees’ mood and perception in open plan offices
Acun, Volkan (Bilkent University, 2015-08)Over the past decade, soundscape studies have proposed ways to differentiate sonic environments and showed that it is not always the sound levels that matters. Meanings associated with sound sources, how they are perceived ... -
Investigating the effect of indoor soundscaping towards employee’s speech privacy
Acun, Volkan; Yılmazer, Semiha (DC/ConfOrg, 2020)This paper presents the emerging results of a soundscape evaluation of a two open office spaces. Aims of this research is to identify sound sources within an open office space and understand if their contributions to ... -
A qualitative approach to investigate indoor soundscape of the built environment
Yılmazer, Semiha; Acun, Volkan (Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2018)Soundscape approach takes advantage of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. So far, there have been five main research tools to collect and analyze data. Quantitative ones are consisted of, questionnaire ... -
Understanding the indoor soundscape of study areas in terms of users' satisfaction, coping methods and perceptual dimensions
Acun, Volkan; Yılmazer, Semiha (Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2018)The soundscape approach is not concerned with the sound level of an acoustic environment, but how it relates to human perception, how it is conceived by the individual and how it should be measured and managed. Even though ...
