Noise: An Interview with Thomas Delaunay, a researcher at the IES
Did you know that absolute silence doesn’t exist, that there are several categories of noise, that we now talk about marine noise pollution, that selling silence is a marketing pitch, and what else?
Thomas Delaunay is an associate professor at the FdS and conducts his research as part of the M2A team at the IES (Institute of Electronics and Systems), a joint CNRS-UM research unit. He is also the academic director of the Professional Bachelor’s Degree in Acoustics and the Sound Environment in the EEA (Electronics, Electrical Engineering, and Automation) department.
Appearing as a guest on a local radio station, he talks about the various sounds in our environment, all interspersed with carefully selected music tracks
