Inter-Noise 2023

Dear Colleagues,

INTER-NOISE 2023, the 52nd International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering, is held in Chiba, Japan from 2023 August 20 through August 23. The Congress is sponsored by the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE) and co-organized by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of Japan (INCE/J) and the Acoustical Society of Japan (ASJ). The organizers and the Organizing Committee of the Congress extend a warm welcome to all prospective participants worldwide and invite all to join us in Chiba to discuss and share the latest advances in noise and vibration control engineering and technology, focusing on our Congress Theme of “Quieter Society with Diversity & Inclusion.”

INTER-NOISE 2023 will feature a broad range of invited and contributed papers, together with plenary lectures by distinguished speakers. Technical papers related to the congress theme will be accepted with special acknowledgment. Research papers in all other fields of noise and vibration control are welcome too. There will be extensive exhibitions of noise and vibration control technology, measuring instruments, equipment, and systems from all over the world.

INTER-NOISE 2023 is held at the International Conference Hall of Makuhari Messe, which is very close to two international airports, Narita and Haneda. It takes only 30-40 minutes by express bus from each international airport to the Makuhari Messe. It will be helpful especially for foreign participants because of less physical loads after the long flights.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to INTER-NOISE 2023 and Chiba. We are sure you will enjoy all aspects of the Congress and Chiba. We look forward to meeting you soon in Chiba. Tokyo is just in 30 minutes range as well as the beautiful countryside is also within 30 minutes. The ocean, Tokyo Disney Resort, traditional Japan, and many great destinations are easy to reach from Makuhari. Please visit https://www.visitchiba.jp/ and https://www.visitchiba.jp/things/makuhari/.

Sincerely yours,

Shinichi Sakamoto
Inter-Noise 2023 Congress President

Technical Areas

Abstracts must be submitted in English, which is the official language of all matters relating to Inter-Noise 2023. The corresponding author will be required to certify that the content of the proposed papers has not been presented at an engineering or scientific conference (with the copyright held by the conference organizer) or published in an archival refereed journal; a statement by the authors shall be required at the time of paper submission. Please note that upon submission the copyright is transferred to the publishing organization, I-INCE. Also, note that all oral presentations will be recorded and available online for conference registrants for several weeks post the conference. By submitting an abstract you are agreeing to your presentation being recorded and available to delegates online.

Abstract submission will be submitted on Abstract/Paper management systems, named as “Confit”, which has both functions Registration and Payment.

Please follow below:

• Create a new account or log in to an existing account. (See https://internoise2023.org/registration-2/)
• After logging in, click on “New Submission” in “Abstract Submission” and follow the instruction on the system.
• After completing the abstract submission, you will receive an email confirmation.
• In case of submission of more than one abstract, an extra fee of 8,400 JPY will be applied to each additional abstract.

Abstract acceptance notice will be sent via email in March 2023. All presenters are required to finish payment of their registration fee before the paper submission.

The abstract shall contain at least 100 words and at most 200 words. Hyperlinks, special characters, equations, images, and drawings should NOT be put in the abstract, and avoid the use of acronyms.

Paper titles should be in sentence case: only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized.

The submitted abstracts and author information will be included in the program list, booklet, and so on without being modified and will be distributed at the conference.

Authors may edit and modify submitted information until the submission deadline. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure the accuracy of the abstracts. Authors may choose their intention of presentation type (Onsite-Oral, Onsite-Poster, or Online Pre-recorded) at present.
See https://internoise2023.org/authors/ for details.

Technical Papers

Technical papers must be submitted as PDF files. The paper templates for both Microsoft Word and LaTeX formats are available at https://internoise2023.org/authors/. These templates are to ensure the uniformity of the publication. Please follow the instructions in the templates carefully.

Some authors have requested in the past Inter-Noise congress that their papers should be assessed in order to seek funding for congress registration and travel expenses. This paper will continue for Inter-Noise 2023 congress free of charge. The paper will be assessed (if requested when the abstract is submitted) to judge its suitability for presentation at the congress and inclusion in the Inter-Noise proceedings and database. Note that the full paper submission deadline is earlier and anonymous referees, as selected by the technical program co-chairs, may be asked to provide quick comments regarding the scope and substance of assessed papers as well as suggestions that will lead to improved manuscripts. The authors will then be asked to upload revised papers by the deadline provided by the technical program co-chairs.

Presentation Format

Inter-Noise 2023 will be held as a live/in-person congress. The presentation format will be oral or poster style at the venue. In order to accept the diverse needs of participants, Inter-Noise 2023 will accept the alternative presentation format using a pre-recorded video presentation. Details of each format are described below. Regardless of the presentation format, all submitted manuscripts except no-show papers will be published in the proceedings and the INCE-USA digital library (https://www.inceusa.org/publications/ince-digital-library/).

Shall be scheduled in the technical session program onsite. The oral presentation will be allocated in a 20-minute slot: 15 minutes for presentations, 3 minutes for Q&A, and a 2-minute break for transition to the next presentation. A PPT template for Inter-Noise 2023 will be available to be downloaded from https://internoise2023.org/ at a later date.

All onsite live presentations will be recorded and made available to all participants via the online congress platform after approximately 24 hours. All participants can watch the video at any time. The authors can have interactive text-based discussions with participants on the platform.
