Characterizing sound effects using audio textures

This research is in the line of research works on sound space and urban environment, and consists in characterizing sound effects by means of audio textures. It has three objectives. A general objective of identifying certain sound effects within the study area: Beb Bhar Square. And two specific objectives, one of which is to demonstrate the relevance of using audio textures, in order to provide new methods of understanding and representing sound ambience. The third objective of an operational nature, consists in developing an interactive sound map that represents different aspects of the sound dimension. The results obtained have shown the contribution of audio textures in the characterization and visualization of certain sound effects. These visualizations of audio textures have enriched the field of graphic representation of sound and urban phenomena and have contributed to the evolution of sound mapping.
