Area of Science:

Acoustics and environmental science
Public health and epidemiology
Bioacoustics and medical acoustics

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented global challenges, extending into the realm of acoustics.
This Special Issue compiles 48 papers examining the multifaceted acoustic impacts of the pandemic.

Discussion:

Investigated are the effects of physical masking on speech production and perception.
Analysis includes changes in ambient noise levels within urban and underwater soundscapes.
Exploration of pathogen transmissibility through acoustic pathways and its role in medical diagnosis.

Key Insights:

Physical masking alters speech clarity and intelligibility.
Pandemic-related lockdowns demonstrably reduced anthropogenic noise in urban and marine environments.
Acoustic monitoring offers novel approaches to understanding disease spread and diagnosis.

Outlook:

Future research should focus on long-term acoustic monitoring and mitigation strategies.
Developing advanced acoustic technologies for public health surveillance is crucial.
Understanding human adaptation to altered acoustic environments is essential for post-pandemic recovery.
