NOISE POLLUTION / Conference
Noise pollution presentation by Alain Berry, Co-Chair of the NSERC Industrial Research Chair (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) in acoustics applied to aviation and Professor at the Université de Sherbrooke.
Followed by a 5 to 7 with Eastern Bloc, a production and exhibition centre dedicated to the promotion of new media and interdisciplinary arts (Mtl).
Free entrance
The presentation will focus on noise pollution, and will address sound as a physical and perceived object. Some examples of recent research in noise reduction will be presented.
Alain Berry is a titular professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Sherbrooke University. He is a member of the GAUS (Groupe d’Acoustique de l’Université de Sherbrooke) and currently holds an NSERC Industrial Chair in Aviation Acoustics.
His research areas are vibro-acoustics, active noise and vibration control, sound field reproduction and acoustic imaging. He currently collaborates with several companies in the aerospace and automotive sectors on environmental acoustics and internal acoustic comfort issues.

Visit of Sherbrooke University Acoustics Group laboratories .
Following the conference on noise pollution given in Sporobole by researcher Alain Berry, professor of mechanical engineering at Sherbrooke University, the laboratories of the Groupe d’Acoustique de l’Université de Sherbrooke (GAUS) exceptionally open their doors to us to present their research and installations.
Visitors will be able to discover and experience the possibly quietest space in Sherbrooke: the anechoic chamber of the GAUS. This unique acoustic space is both isolated from the noises of the outside world by tons of materials and isolated from itself since the interior surfaces prohibit any sound reflection: it is echo-free. It is, in principle, a free, neutral and silent acoustic environment. This type of laboratory space has had a remarkable influence on John Cage and his understanding of sound and music. An experience to live.
Free admission: Limited number of places: Please book at: [email protected] Please book by next Wednesday, the address of the laboratories will then be communicated to you.
This visit is part of our peripheral activities *
Note that the last day of Catherine Préfontaine’s indoor exhibition will be Saturday, March 2 (instead of Sunday, March 3).
* Peripheral activities respond to our desire to break down the barriers between artistic practice and contact with the immediate community through a transdisciplinary approach. A theme from the work presented in the room is extracted and discussed in the form of conferences, round tables or other types of activities bringing together researchers and speakers from various disciplines.
