On the acoustic characteristics of Athabasca Falls, Canada

초록

People's health is closely related to the living environment. In natural environments, most white noise has the effect of relieving stress and relaxing the body and mind, whereas prolonged exposure to metropolitan noise can be harmful to health. The sound of Athabasca Falls studied in this paper is also one of the sounds that convey health to humans. Analysis of the spectrum of the Athabasca Falls sound reveals an acoustic characteristic that resembles white noise and has three prominent resonant formants. We also experimented with measuring the listener's EEG to find out how sound acoustics affect human psychology. As a result, the Athabasca Falls sound stimulated more α and β EEG. This is what tells us that the cascading sound reduces stress and keeps the brain active and healthy. © 2021 Seventh Sense Research Group®.
