Description
European cities are adapting soundscape-based urban planning to create better living spaces for residents. Auralization acts as one of the possible tools that provides immersive auditory experiences for urban planners, architects and the community to participate in the design process without acoustical expert. Exisiting auralization tools suffer from long computation time. This paper explores using surrogate background sound generators. By combining Text-to-Audio models (TTA) and BRIR-based models, the paper highlights the potential of surrogate audio renderers to support more perceptually grounded, design‑oriented decision‑making in urban environments.
