Auralization Use

Requirements

Set up acousticDE following the instructions in the installation section.
Run the FVM or FDM method to get the results;
Use these results for the auralization.

Usage & files

To use the software, the following files are to be used:

Auralization.py: it contains the main function run_auralization_sim to run the full simulation and generate an auralization file.

The main software works with the following associated functions:

Auralizationfunctions.py include all the main functions that are used in the full simulation;

Inputs

Anechoic signal path

The anechoic signal is a wav file needed for the convolution with the impulse response of the room in question. An anechoic file is a sound/speech recorder inside a fully absorbing chamber and therefore without any reflections. In the repository only one anechoic file is present; the user could decide to use their own. This anechoic file has been provided by (ODEON software).

resultsFVM.pkl path

The result file from the FVM calculation is needed to run the script.

Outputs

Impulse response file

An impulse response wav file representing the reverberant fingerprint of the room is the output of the calculation.

Auralization file

The calculation include also the creating of an auralization wav file.
