Recently we had an email from a company who are developing a bird song recognizer who were having problems with wind noise corrupting recordings and giving inaccurate results.  The company,  iSpiny was interested in using our code for real time wind noise detection to indicate when high levels of wind noise would cause problems with their algorithm.  So while not directly related to audio quality it shows that our research has a wider possible application.  As we understand the wind noise detector is now being utilized within the mobile bird song recognizer app .  For more information see the following site;

if you are interested in using the algorithm with your own application there is the offline batch detector here,

as well as a realtime method implemented for iPhone. (contact us for details)
