Noise Repository

Noise Repository (Link) - Upload or Download your high-quality, documented audio recordings for use in research studies!

The DOD Hearing Center of Excellence (HCE) noticed that researchers were either duplicating efforts or remaining consistently under-resourced

to produce research-quality sound recordings for each new study. Therefore, the HCE has sponsored the development of the Military Sounds 

Repository, filled with high-quality, well-documented sound files, in order to save the research community the time and effort ($) it takes to 

develop these tools on their own. Researchers can store, analyze and retrieve sounds recorded in military environments through this platform.

Target Audience:

- Audiologists who need relevant examples for patients and clients

 - Users who want to compare sounds

 - Individuals with military sound recordings who don’t have the ability to easily analyze the sounds

 - Researchers who want to use relevant sounds for their experiments

 - Researchers and audiologist who want to share their recordings
