Abstract

This chapter introduces some techniques for the auralization of numerical simulations and provides an example of calculating the head-related transfer function (HRTF) which is a function that is fundamental to reproduce stereophonic sound field. In the first section, we introduce a sound field simulation technique combines a numerical simulation with a multichannel reproduction technique, and we present applications of this method to the problem on room acoustics. In the second section, we discuss an auralization technique that simulates the sound insulation characteristics of the façade of a building. In the final section, we present the results of calculating the HRTF and discuss the applicability and efficiency of the analysis method.
