Noise Estimation
In the chapter "Insights into Automotive Noise PSD Estimation Based on Multiplicative Constants", authored by Vasudev Kandade Rajan and Gerhard Schmidt, of the book entitled "Intelligent Vehicles and Transportation - Vehicles, Drivers, and Safety" a noise estimation scheme was presented. Here, you can find example code that you are allowed to use for non-commercial applications.
Audio examples
The noise recording was made in a car driving at about 100 km/h. The speech example (female, German) was taken from the (free) SPID corpus. Details can be found here.
Code listings
Please have a look on the code listings. If you want to use it, we recommend to download this zip file. It contains also the required examples (audio files) and the folder structure that is assumed in order to run the Matlab code correctly.

In March 2026, the DSS Chair attended the annual DAGA conference in Dresden. Thanks to the support of the GaS-Club, the student Aylin Kösker was given the opportunity to accompany the chair and participate in the conference from March 23rd to March 26th. As part of the daily poster sessions, she presented the results of her bachelor’s thesis “Machine Learning for the Analysis of Hydrographic Data to Assess the Waterside Accessibility of Port Waters” in the field of Underwater Acoustics. The thesis forms an important basis for an ongoing university research project on the acoustic analysis of sediment properties in harbor areas. The poster session enabled valuable discussions with researchers and conference participants from related research fields.
