Few-shot Acoustic Synthesis with Multimodal Flow Matching

Generating audio that is acoustically consistent with a scene is essential for immersive virtual environments. Recent neural acoustic field methods enable spatially continuous sound rendering but remain scene-specific, requiring dense audio measurements and costly training for each environment. Few-shot approaches improve scalability across rooms but still rely on multiple recordings and, being deterministic, fail to capture the inherent uncertainty of scene acoustics under sparse context.We introduce FLow-matching ACoustic generation (FLAC), a probabilistic method for few-shot acoustic synthesis that models the distribution of plausible room impulse responses (RIRs) given minimal scene context. FLAC leverages a diffusion transformer trained with a flow-matching objective to generate RIRs at arbitrary positions in novel scenes, conditioned on spatial, geometric, and acoustic cues.FLAC outperforms state-of-the-art eight-shot baselines with one-shot on both the AcousticRooms and Hearing Anything Anywhere datasets. To complement standard perceptual metrics, we further introduce AGREE, a joint Acoustic–GeometRy EmbEdding, enabling geometry-consistent evaluation of generated RIRs through retrieval and distributional metrics.This work is the first to apply generative flow matching to acoustics, establishing a new direction for robust and data-efficient acoustic synthesis.
