The Linguistics department at the University of Michigan has two phonetics laboratories equipped with one anechoic chamber and one sound-attenuated recording booth, DAT recorders, and computers running various sound analysis software.  The labs were originally used by such speech pioneers as Gordon Peterson and Ilse Lehiste.  They are currently home to labs directed by Prof. Pam Beddor and Prof. José Benkí.  Both labs conduct research on various topics in acoustic phonetics, perception and sound change.
