Effects of mid-frequency active sonar on hearing in fish

Caged fish were exposed to sound from mid-frequency active (MFA) transducers in a 5 × 5 planar array which simulated MFA sounds at received sound pressure levels of 210 dB SPL(re 1 μPa). The exposure sound consisted of a 2 s frequency sweep from 2.8 to 3.8 kHz followed by a 1 s tone at 3.3 kHz. The sound sequence was repeated every 25 s for five repetitions resulting in a cumulative sound exposure level (SEL(cum)) of 220 dB re 1 μPa(2) s. The cumulative exposure level did not affect the hearing sensitivity of rainbow trout, a species whose hearing range is lower than the frequencies in the presented MFA sound. In contrast, one cohort of channel catfish showed a statistically significant temporary threshold shift of 4-6 dB at 2300 Hz, but not at lower tested frequencies, whereas a second cohort showed no change. It is likely that this threshold shift resulted from the frequency spectrum of the MFA sound overlapping with the upper end of the hearing frequency range of the channel catfish. The observed threshold shifts in channel catfish recovered within 24 h. There was no mortality associated with the MFA sound exposure used in this test.     

Localization and source level estimates of black drum (Pogonias cromis) calls

A four hydrophone linear array was used to localize calling black drum and estimate source levels and signal propagation. A total of 1025 source level estimates averaged 165 dB(RMS) relative (re:) 1 μPa (standard deviation (SD)=1.0). The authors suggest that the diverticulated morphology of the black drum swimbladder increase the bladder's surface area, thus contributing to sound amplitude. Call energy was greatest in the fundamental frequency (94 Hz) followed by the second (188 Hz) and third harmonics (282 Hz). A square root model best described propagation of the entire call, and separately the fundamental frequency and second harmonic. A logarithmic model best described propagation of the third harmonic which was the only component to satisfy the cut-off frequency equation. Peak auditory sensitivity was 300 Hz at a 94 dB re: 1 μPa threshold based on auditory evoked potential measurements of a single black drum. Based on mean RMS source level, signal propagation, background levels, and hearing sensitivity, the communication range of black drum was estimated at 33-108 m and was limited by background levels not auditory sensitivity. This estimate assumed the source and receiver were at approximately 0.5 m above the bottom. Consecutive calls of an individual fish localized over 59 min demonstrated a mean calling period of 3.6 s (SD=0.48), mean swimming speed of 0.5 body lengths/s, and a total distance swam of 1035 m.     

An investigation of a fiber-optic air-backed mandrel hydrophone

In this work, a optical-fiber air-backed mandrel hydrophone is proposed and investigated both analytically and experimentally. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional quasistatically theoretical models of the hydrophone is created and compared, and the phase sensitivity of the hydrophone is analyzed. The theoretical result of phase sensitivity with three-dimensional model is −153.3 dB re rad/μPa. Twenty-two hydrophones of this type according to the model presented are constructed and tested. The experiment results show that experimental results of mean values of phase sensitivity are about −153 ± 0.5 dB re rad/μPa and have the close agreement with the estimation of theoretical models. The size of the fiber sensor is ∅12 × 55 mm, the normal phase sensitivity achieves −308 dB re 1 μPa⁻¹, the 3 dB effective bandwidth of the frequency response is 30 kHz, and the responsivity decreases less than 0.5 dB when static pressure is 2 MPa (200 m water depth). The hydrophone is easy to constructed at low cost with simple structure, and some new type of it with the required performances could be designed according to the model presented.

Ambient habitat noise and vibration at the Georgia Aquarium

Underwater and in-air noise evaluations were completed in performance pool systems at Georgia Aquarium under normal operating conditions and with performance sound tracks playing. Ambient sound pressure levels at in-pool locations, with corresponding vibration measures from life support system (LSS) pumps, were measured in operating configurations, from shut down to full operation. Results indicate noise levels in the low frequency ranges below 100?Hz were the highest produced by the LSS relative to species hearing thresholds. The LSS had an acoustic impact of about 10?dB at frequencies up to 700?Hz, with a 20?dB re 1?μPa impact above 1000?Hz.     

基于扭曲长周期光纤光栅的高灵敏度压力传感器

研究了高频CO2激光脉冲写入的长周期光纤光栅在扭曲状态下的横向负载特性.发现扭曲降低了光纤光栅谐振波长横向负载灵敏度的方向相关性,使得这种光栅在各圆周方向上谐振波长对横向负载都不敏感,而谐振峰幅度随横向负载的增加线性减小,且谐振峰幅度的负载灵敏度随扭曲率的增加而提高.在扭曲率为1.8°mm－1时负载灵敏度可达0.47 dB/(g·mm－1),是自由状态长周期光纤光栅横向负载灵敏度的7倍,最后给出了利用这种扭曲长周期光纤光栅通过强度解调实现压力传感的实验研究结果.     

Examination of bone-conducted transmission from sound field excitation measured by thresholds, ear-canal sound pressure, and skull vibrations

Bone conduction (BC) relative to air conduction (AC) sound field sensitivity is here defined as the perceived difference between a sound field transmitted to the ear by BC and by AC. Previous investigations of BC-AC sound field sensitivity have used different estimation methods and report estimates that vary by up to 20 dB at some frequencies. In this study, the BC-AC sound field sensitivity was investigated by hearing threshold shifts, ear canal sound pressure measurements, and skull bone vibrations measured with an accelerometer. The vibration measurement produced valid estimates at 400 Hz and below, the threshold shifts produced valid estimates at 500 Hz and above, while the ear canal sound pressure measurements were found erroneous for estimating the BC-AC sound field sensitivity. The BC-AC sound field sensitivity is proposed, by combining the present result with others, as frequency independent at 50 to 60 dB at frequencies up to 900 Hz. At higher frequencies, it is frequency dependent with minima of 40 to 50 dB at 2 and 8 kHz, and a maximum of 50 to 60 dB at 4 kHz. The BC-AC sound field sensitivity is the theoretical limit of maximum attenuation achievable with ordinary hearing protection devices.
