This paper reports an empirical study to investigate how individuals perceive and classify elements of their workplace auditory environments. The participants were 18 university employees chosen for their varying degrees of room occupancy, from singl... Read More about Mapping workplace soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments.

Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2006). Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method. In Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD2006)

This paper describes a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method of mapping a workplace soundscape to assess its fitness as a basis for an extended soundscape mapping method. Twelve participants took part within 14 separate environments, which included a... Read More about Workplace soundscape mapping: a trial of Macaulay and Crerar’s method.

Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Crerar, A., & Benyon, D. (2006). Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance.

This paper investigates soundscape classification by using two different forms of data gathering and two different populations. The first method involves a questionnaire completed by 75 audio professionals. The second uses a speak-aloud experiment, d...
