News on CAELUS

New tiles on the CAELUS page are here. We are launching two new surveys on drone noise perception and would like you to have your say.

In the surveys you will be asked to listen to the sound of drones and rate what you have heard. The data collected will help us gain insight into how people perceive and respond to the sound of drones providing healthcare services so that the risks of noise disturbance can be reduced.

The sound demonstrations used in the survey have been developed using Arup’s SoundLab technology. Arup use this technology to create sound simulations (auralisations), taking a human-centric view of design to give people objective, quantifiable information about noise in an accessible format. All you need is pair of headphones. It enables you to make up your own mind about what you hear.

To get involved and share your feedback, check out the survey tiles on the Project CAELUS Commonplace page. You can choose to complete just one or both of the surveys and each will take you around 18-20 minutes. We recommend that you complete the study in a quiet room using the best headphones that are available to you.
