Acoustics, Psychoacoustics, and Modalities of Listening

For three years I was lecturer for this Masters module at the Digital Media Research Centre (DMARC), University of Limerick.

This module begins with the physics of sound and the biology of the ear, before differentiating between the objective world of acoustics and the phenomenological world of psychoacoustics. In the third section we discuss contemporary issues in sound studies: listening, acoustic ecology, soundscape studies, noise.
