What is Auralization

Chapter 2
Handbook of Research on Perception-Driven Approaches to Urban Assessment and Design
A computer-aided technique by which the sounds of a (future) environment can be simulated. A parallel can be drawn to visualization in which the visual aspects of an environment are simulated.

On the Intersection Between Speaker Installations and Urban Environments: A Soundscape Design Perspective

Abstract
This chapter deals with speaker installations and the potential to use such installations for designing soundscapes in cities. Through employment of a designer's perspective, eight intersections between speaker sounds and the environment in which they are installed are brought forward and discussed. The intersections were originally deduced by the author theoretically but have subsequently also been examined in relation to existing speaker installations. This chapter describes and exemplifies each of the eight intersections, which have been denoted as sound sculpture, sound space, atmospheric design, sound and light, sound binocular, sound postcard, interactive event, and retuning of soundscape. Discussions in the chapter cover the role of speaker-induced sound in relation to the notion of acousmatics as well as urban design.

Investigations on the Influence of Auditory Perception on Urban Space Design Through Virtual Acoustics
It is generally conceived as the auditory equivalent of visualization. It is the process of rendering a specific sound field audible through the convolution of anechoic sounds with the impulse response of a specific environment.
