An Experimental Study on the noise Rating of H.D. TV sets by Psycho-acoustic Experiments

청감실험을 통한 고화질 TV set 소음평가에 관한 실험적 연구

The purpose of this study is to propose the proper vocabularies for evaluating H.D TV set fan noise in residential condition. To achieve this goal, psycho-acoustic experiments were carried out with TV set fan noise modulated at specific frequency band. finally, a correlation analysis between vocabularies, and a factor analysis of psycho-acoustical responses were conducted. As a result of this study, followings are suggested. Analyzing the psycho-acoustical response corresponding to the various sound level, the higher the sound levels, the higher the response values were. It is estimated that the sound level determined psycho-acoustical responses. On the degree of response to fan noise, the initial level of negative feeling is located on $35{\sim}40$ dB(A). The factor of evaluating H.D. TV set fan noise has induced three the appropriate korean adjectives; Irritate, Monotonous, stuffy and dryness. The result of this study may be used to evaluate the acoustic threshold level for indoor noise or a basis for specifying the desired acoustic environment of dwellings.
