This month, the most popular posts on Facebook,Instagram,X (Twitter), and LinkedIn were all related to the latest volume of Acoustics Today (AT), which was published online early in September.
Facebook
The announcement post featuring the cover art of the AT Fall 2023, Volume 19, Issue 3 on Facebook reached over 1500 users! AT is a quarterly magazine and is free online so be sure to read and share this issue with friends, family, and colleagues at https://acousticstoday.org/.
Moving to Instagram, users enjoyed this post with a schematic illustrating what qualifies as good high- and low-frequency hearing for various species from “Extended High Frequency in Hearing and Speech.” Read the complete article at https://doi.org/10.1121/AT.2023.19.3.22.

Then, on X (formerly known as Twitter), users were really intrigued by this post about the article, “A Century of Acousto-Optics: From Early Discoveries to Modern Sensing of Sound with Light,” Read it to learn about the history and to look ahead into some of the exciting prospects in the field at https://doi.org/10.1121/AT.2023.19.3.54.
Finally, over at LinkedIn, users have been commenting on the post highlighting the AT Letter from the President to congratulate the newly elected ASA President, Stan E. Dosso. Read the complete letter at https://acousticstoday.org/from-the-president-stan-dosso/.

While posts about the AT Fall 2023 issue were the most popular this month, here are some honorable mentions featuring other ASA Publications:
Facebook post about the POMA, “Is the stiffness of the Reissner’s membrane important for frequency selectivity? An investigation with a hydrodynamic model”: https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001743
Instagram post with a figure from the JASA Express Letters, “Sound delivery to listening point using tangent line method”: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0020812
LinkedIn post about the JASA publication, “Statistical analysis of measured underwater radiated noise from merchant ships using ship operational and design parameters”: https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0020668

The August JASA Express Letters cover features figure 1 of “Basin scale coherence of Kauai-Beacon m-sequence transmissions received at Wake Island and Monterey, CA,” by Kay L. Gemba, Nicholas C. Durofchalk, David R. Dall’Osto, Rex K. Andrew, Paul Leary, Bruce M. Howe, and Kevin B. Smith. The upper panel depicts the ascent network of Kaui-Beacon source and receiver locations, and the lower panel is a ray tracing model that shows propagation from the Kaui-Beacon source (located north of Kauai) to receivers. This article was also featured on our website as an Editor’s Pick!
This month’s issue also included one other Editor’s Pick you don’t want to miss: “Acoustic ducting by shelf water streamers at the New England shelfbreak,” by Jennifer J. Johnson, Ying-Tsong Lin, Arthur E. Newhall, Glen G. Gawarkiewicz, David P. Knobles, Jason D. Chaytor, and William S. Hodgkiss.
We’re coming to the end of the month, which means it’s time to review popular posts from our Facebook,Instagram, and LinkedIn pages.
Facebook users were quick to click on the post about a book review of Spatial Sound—Principles and Applications, Second Edition. If you would also like to find out more about how this book introduces principles and methods of spatial sound, access the review directly at https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0020656.
Folks over on Instagram really liked this post featuring a figure from “Ventilated acoustic metasurface with low-frequency sound insulation” published in JASA Express Letters. To read more about how this metamaterial could aid in maintaining natural indoor ventilation while effectively insulating against external noise, read the article at https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0020133.
Rounding out the social media highlights, here is an engaging POMA post from LinkedIn. If the figure of the tetrahedral mesh elements for numerical simulation makes you want to learn more about “Coupled simulation of vibration and sound field of Stradivari’s violin,” read the open access article at https://doi.org/10.1121/2.0001776.

As announced in the Editorial in the April 2023 issue of TheJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), JASA Express Letters is now partnering with JASA for joint Special Issues.
Authors now have the option to select which journal they would like to submit a paper to for a Special Issue. Accepted papers will be published in the next available regular issue of the selected journal and identified as belonging to the Special Issue. After all papers have published for the Special Issue, they will be included in a cross-journal online collection at the JASA and JASA Express Letters websites.
The following are open call for papers for joint Special Issues. Information on current call for papers are always available here: JASA and JASA Express Letters
Verification and Validation of Source and Propagation Models for Underwater Sound This Special Issue invites papers on the verification (model-model comparison) and validation (model-measurement comparison) of marine sound source and propagation models, as well as papers on metrics for calculating the dose on marine species. …Read More!
