Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 0AN INVESTIGATION OF SOUND SOURCES IN SMART HOUSES FOR IMPROVED MACHINE-TO-HUMAN COMMUNICATION(European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Alkan, A.; Yorukoglu, P.N.D.; Kitapci, K.; 214925; İç MimarlıkThis study aims to investigate the ever-evolving indoor soundscapes of smart houses by classification of the sounds emitted from smart devices. Nowadays, communication is no longer limited to person-to-person. Smart devices frequently communicate with users by verbal or tonal notifications. Therefore, acoustic characteristics of smart houses, especially reverberation time and background noise levels, have increased importance in achieving improved and lossless signal transfer and speech intelligibility. It is hypothesized that most houses are unsuitable for effective tonal and verbal communication with smart devices regarding acoustical conditions. Within the scope of the study, the devices found in the smart technology market were investigated. The sounds emitted from the identified devices were then classified according to their communicative nature (verbal/tonal), designability, customizability, and cause (i.e., intentional or consequential). The acoustic requirements for effective communication with the individual smart devices were analyzed in addition to the resulting holistic indoor soundscape of the smart houses The results of the study will help architects, interior architects, and other environmental designers to improve the quality of communication while guiding future research to understand indoor soundscapes of smart houses. © 2023 First author et al.

Acoustics is an important building physics topic that takes part in the most updated interior architecture curriculum, with an increased number of theoretical courses. Yet, it might be inadequate to load theoretical knowledge without hands-on training in fields that are more practice-oriented such as interior architecture, which takes its roots from design and architecture education. Topic-specific awareness and the ability to integrate theoretical knowledge into architectural design should be gained during the early years of interior architecture undergraduate education. Within the framework of this study, insights into mandatory and elective courses on sound and acoustics in the Department of Interior Architecture at Çankaya University, Ankara, Turkiye are presented. In addition to detailed evaluations of interior architecture curriculum and acoustics course design, student feedback and outputs that have been reported previously in the literature are discussed to give a broader understanding of awareness and education in the field of acoustics. © 2024 Proceedings of the International Congress on Sound and Vibration.
