The International Year of Sound 2020-2021 Student Competition Winners have been announced! The students' competition was launched in the framework of the International Year of Sound 2020-2021 aimed at encouraging youth to consider and express the importance of sound in their world. The competition was coordinated by Sergio Luzzi and his team. For more information, check out the IYS 2020 website and the official ICA announcement.
It's a wonderful thing to fall in love – to be passionate about a cause, person or career. Many INCE members would say that noise control, for them, is a passion. This year's winner of the INCE Student Scholarship and the Martin Hirschorn Award would agree with that sentiment.
In this episode of The Noise News, a podcast brought to you by NNI, our host Eoin King is joined today by Dr. Graeme Heyes. Dr. Heyes is a Research Associate in sustainable and circular design innovation, business analysis and strategy at Manchester Metropolitan University.
An Indian researcher has fabricated paper honeycomb and stronger polymer honeycomb structure as sound-absorbing panels that dissipate acoustic energy to low-frequency ranges. The technology can be used in building acoustics and also as environmental noise control solution.
As air traffic is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade, reducing noise pollution becomes an even more necessary and demanding challenge. Decades of research have been dedicated to reducing the noise of an aircraft's engine but have tended to neglect the noise caused by the airframe during landing.
In this episode of The Noise News, a podcast brought to you by NNI, our host Eoin King is joined today by Dr. Jim Thompson. Dr. Thompson is the current editor of the Noise Control Engineering Journal and Past President of INCE-USA. Dr. Thompson shares his 40 years of experience with us, and shares career advice to those on planning to join the industry.

A pioneering material that gives unprecedented control on sound and noise is to be trialed in hospitals and other noisy locations such as beside motorways. The technology allows scientists to turn plastic sheets into powerful noise-cancelling panels with the same noise-reduction effect of as two inches of plywood but weighing four to six times less.
