  1. 4558. Sound perception and design in higher education: the case of the 'Acoustic Design' course at the University of Technology of Compiègne (FA2026/896)

    A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design

    Sound perception and design courses are rarely included in higher education, particularly in engineering programs which lead to industrial activities where product design plays a significant role. We present the "Acoustic Design" course offered in the University of Technology of Compiègne. This course addresses the fundamentals in psychoacoustics, audio recording and analysis, source...

  2. 4559. TWAF Framework as an Educational Tool for Soundscape Ideation in Complex Socio-Technological Environments: A case study in sound-driven design for Intensive Care Units (FA2026/816)

    A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design

    The TWAF (Designing THE, WITH, AGAINST, sound FOR) framework, originating from sound-driven design, offers a structured yet flexible lens for addressing sound-related challenges in complex socio-technological environments (Delle Monache, 2022; 2024). Rather than treating sound as an isolated artifact, the framework reframes design as a multi-perspective exploration of listening experiences,...

  3. 4560. Understanding sound experiences at work: A diary study in open-plan offices (FA2026/167)

    A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design

    Noise is a persistent issue in open-plan offices, and soundscape temporal and spectral variations were found to explain part of perceived annoyance. While acoustic treatments and sound masking systems can help reducing the overall level and speech intelligi- bility, they are not designed to adapt to those varia- tions. Other approaches based on a transformation of the existing soundscape have...

  4. 4561. Accessible Acoustics: Cost-Efficient Methods for Sound-Driven Architectural Design (FA2026/796)

    A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design

    In recent years, architectural design has increasingly emphasized performance-based approaches alongside formal and spatial considerations (Hensel and Menges, 2008), yet acoustics, despite its central role in spatial experience, remains underintegrated due to limited access to iterative, accessible evaluation tools (Siltanen et al., 2010; Badino et al. 2020). Conventional acoustic testing...

  5. 4562. Sound Design for Electric Vehicle – a step ahead towards a tool-based design methodology (FA2026/91)
    Nicolas Misdariis (Ircam STMS Lab)
    09/09/2026, 17:40
    A19 Product Sound Quality and Sound-Driven Design

    Designing sound for Electric Vehicle is an approach being progressively assimilated in the automotive product development and considered one of the strategic assets for the sustainable future of mobility. Nevertheless, this design process presents several challenges, since it requires multidisciplinary expertise and skills, collaboration and decision-making, among designers, sound experts,...
