The further development of the sound propagation simulation is now available in the RWTH-git! This is the Pynamic release. The application allows users to create precise models and analyze the effects of noise in various environments. To make optimal use of the software, Python 3.11 is required.

Through the month of October, ika conducted a second series of acoustic measurements of tires at the tire testing stand. In this series, several different tires were measured; prior to the measurements, the drum surface was adapted to resemble a road surface. The initial results look promising, and an intensive evaluation is now underway.

We are pleased to announce that the project extension has been approved for an additional three months! This extra time allows us to further advance our research goals and gain deeper insights into our topics.

Starting from summer, several exchange meetings took place with the STumM project at RWTH Aachen. The common theme that unites the BaLSaM and STumM projects is noise reduction in urban spaces. The exchange provides an excellent opportunity to discuss ideas and approaches for reducing noise in urban areas and to collaboratively work on solutions.
