Abstract
A SoundNet is a process for synthesizing sonic environments for use in Virtual Environment applications, computer games, Internet web pages, film and television productions. A sonic environment is a collection of spatially located sounds describing some scenario such as a city street for example. SoundNet provides a process for generating such an environment that has the following properties: a compact representation, stochastically correct behavior, dynamically varying behavior along application defined parameters, temporally unbounded and non-repeating, and facilitates automatic generation of the representation.
