DESCRIPTION:In this study conducted in Singapore\, we aimed to enhance the 
 urban soundscape by creating a soundscape intervention device. With the co
 mplex nature of the urban soundscape\, it was crucial for the device to ha
 ve the ability to sense the surrounding sound\, select the most appropriat
 e natural sound masker to mask negative noise (such as traffic noise)\, an
 d adjust dynamically to changes in the acoustic environment.To achieve thi
 s\, we utilized the power of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (I
 oT) to provide real-time listening and playback of the augmented sound via
  an array of ambisonics loudspeakers. The device features an innovative AI
 -based model to choose the optimal sound masker and determine its gain lev
 el\, taking the burden offhuman supervision.We also created the Affective 
 Responses to Urban Soundscapes (ARAUS) dataset to serve as a benchmark for
  evaluating models that predict and analyze soundscape perception. The wor
 king prototype of the system was first tested in a gazebo located in a uni
 versity garden near a busy road\, and several more units are being install
 ed in residential areas to study the human response to the improved sounds
 cape. By combining technology and nature\, we hope to create a more pleasa
 nt and harmonious urban soundscape for all.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Gan Woon Se
