Reducing the Ambulance Siren Noise for Distant Auscultation of the Lung Sound

Reducing the Ambulance Siren Noise for Distant Auscultation of the Lung Sound Ambulance sirens sound very loud for transportation safety. However, loud sounds interfere with the auscultation of lung sounds. This study proposed an auscultation system that includes (1) an ACER Aspire 17 notebook as a server; (2) a smart mobile as a wireless hotspot (HwaWei Amazing A6); and (3) an ACER Aspire 5 notebook as a client. National Instruments data socket software gives read and write privileges to the IP addresses of the server and client. This real-world distant auscultation system works. The real-time adaptive filter reduced siren noise of 60 dB in power intensity. Surprisingly, a previous simulation of the adaptive filter had performed a noise reduction of 60 dB. Therefore, this real-time remote auscultation system is a reliable device for the ambulance service. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acoustics Australia Springer Journals

Abstract

Ambulance sirens sound very loud for transportation safety. However, loud sounds interfere with the auscultation of lung sounds. This study proposed an auscultation system that includes (1) an ACER Aspire 17 notebook as a server; (2) a smart mobile as a wireless hotspot (HwaWei Amazing A6); and (3) an ACER Aspire 5 notebook as a client. National Instruments data socket software gives read and write privileges to the IP addresses of the server and client. This real-world distant auscultation system works. The real-time adaptive filter reduced siren noise of 60 dB in power intensity. Surprisingly, a previous simulation of the adaptive filter had performed a noise reduction of 60 dB. Therefore, this real-time remote auscultation system is a reliable device for the ambulance service.
