Thanks G5 Innovation Networks and Chris Tian for an awesome Innovation Summit in Sydney last night. 'Cubesat' mini satellites weighing 200g, Drones that navigate inside a Building, STEM for Kindy kids and inndox Property Logbook, Ambient Noise Maps - amongst the tech.

Great night Wednesday at the Sydney Zhejiang Global Innovation summit. Met some interesting start-ups and very happy to be awarded first place (people's choice) and second from the judges. Thanks G5 Innovation for the invite to such a great event.

Going to #SCWAus in #Sydney this week? Make sure you come say hi & support #BlueChilli alumni pitching during morning tea in the Agora Room! + Elle Pacholski founder of GetOutdoors + Ben Hinze founder of Ambient + Zoë Condliffe founder of #ShesACrowd @SCW_Australia

We’re presenting tomorrow at the Australian Acoustical Society Conference, Adelaide on noise mapping for planning overlays. Here’s part of our Bay Area of California noise model, hosted by Indicatrix #Planwisely youtu.be/qcRRDut9kj0

Part 2 of our Bay Area of California road traffic noise model, hosted by Planwisely Indicatrix, gives a quick tour through the inner region of the wider model. We’re presenting on this tomorrow at the Australian Acoustical Society Conference, Adelaide. youtu.be/738iketR-4E

Ambient are in the final stages of creating a detailed, transport noise map of Australia, mapping road, rail and aircraft noise. We have a few videos regarding our data and use cases, starting with transport noise and Development Applications. youtu.be/fukvJFHVK2c

For anyone who has moved in, or bought a property, only to realise that 15 minute walk around did not highlight night time freight trains, or the peak hour traffic, or that with a different wind you’re under a flight path, check out our property reports. youtu.be/tVtO7dqawbo

For rental properties, vacancy = no income, which of course is obvious. However our 2019 study with support from State Machine and CoreLogic found the rental turnover for noisier properties was 69% higher compare to equivalent, quieter accommodation. 1/2

For tenants who do underestimate the impact higher traffic noise (e.g. above 55 dBA Lnight) has on them, this means moving twice and a difficult time in between. For the properties owners, this means repeated listings, and a drop in income while the property is vacant. 2/2

A noise exposure level allocated to every building supports property searches and valuations. E.g. it would be handy to specify a noise level when searching for a property. Including noise exposure and the impact on property value will also help AVMs lnkd.in/gjwUE2J

The last video looks at transport noise and health research. This includes combining Ambient's noise levels with census data to understand what percentage of the population is exposed to differing noise levels. youtu.be/ngKqQVL4jc4

We are excited to announce our property reports are available to the public through InfoTrack. Get your conveyancing solicitor to request a report to allow you to understand your transport noise exposure as part of your property search for a new home. linkedin.com/posts/infotrac…

Ambient are excited to include the location of Victoria's proposed road network within our property reports, allowing customers to help gauge their risk of future noise impacts.

I am thrilled to announce our Australian noise map paper “Development of Australia-Wide Transportation Noise Maps: An Application in the Estimation of Population Exposure in Victoria” has just been published with Springer Nature in Acoustics Australia. rdcu.be/cHP4v

Across Greater Sydney, it is estimated that approximately 14% of the population are exposed to transport noise levels that exceed enHealth recommendations, commensurate with our published 2022 study for Victoria, where 11% exceed across the State. lnkd.in/g-mfRvE3

Was very fortunate to have some time with the ABC this morning to talk about transport noise and the Ambient noise map. abc.net.au/sydney/program…

At AURIN we're excited to be working with Ambient on bringing their product to market, allowing more researchers to access noise data and insights – resulting in new avenues for research and future planning. aurin.org.au/ambient-maps-a…
