Hi all 16 of us! I'm a Research Fellow studying urban sound perception and the applications of machine learning in urban noise research.

Please keep conversations civil :)
Very cool! What field does that end up putting you in? Like, is it civil engineering, computer science, audiology, something else?
(audiology's a stretch but I thought it sounded better with three examples ๐ )
It's acoustics! Some universities have a dedicated acoustics department although at my uni I fall within the Environmental Design and Engineering dept under the Faculty of the Built Environment. It's usually quite separate from audiology though. For the most part audiology falls under medical faculties whereas other acoustics disciplines fit into physics, music, built environment, or sometimes biology (for underwater acoustics and bioacoustics) depending on the focus and history of the department.
Yeah, that's why I thought it was a stretch! Sounds intriguing though
