Get Into The Groove: The Role Of Sound In Generating A Sense Of Belonging In Street Parades, Michelle Duffy, Gordon R. Waitt, Christopher R. Gibson

Gordon Waitt

Research undertaken in a range of fields has sought to understand the significance of sound and the processes of listening in making sense of social worlds. This inherently interdisciplinary pursuit has particularly emerged in sociology cultural geography, cultural studies, musicology and music therapy. Yet, a great deal is still not known about the interplays between music, sounds, spaces, bodies and our sense of self

Investigations Of The Potential Effects Of Underwater Noise From Petroleum Industry Activities On Feeding Humpback Whale Behavior, Charles Malme, Paul Miles, Peter Tyack, Christopher Clark, James Bird

James E Bird

This report presents the results of an investigation of the potential effects of underwater noise from petroleum industry activities on the behavior of feeding humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). The objective of the study was to determine the nature and degree of any observed behavioral response to controlled sound exposure levels from industrial noise sources. The noise sources used were a single 100 cu. in. air gun and playback of sounds from selected petroleum industry activities. The playback sounds were obtained from tape recordings of drillship, drilling platform, production platform, semi-submersible drilling rig, and helicopter overflight noise. The work was performed …
