Abstract

Recently, it becomes to be very important to reduce the cabin noise of passenger ship, according to the trend of speedy and luxury ship. The noise reduction and control techniques should be considered as important factors from the viewpoint of the sound problem of cabin. Therefore, ship designer has to improve the sound quality as well as to redece the sound pressure level in cabins. In this paper, for the new approach of these problems, we tried to find the trends of noise and sound quality of high-speed coastal passenger ships. Loudness, roughness, fluctuation strength, and sharpness are selected as the parameters for the evaluation of sound quality. The parameters are calculated by using the sound measured in cabin while the ship is running. Furthermore we tried to find the trend of each parameter in cabins and compare with that of sound pressure level. As results, we find that the loudness is linearly proportional to sound pressure level. But, the other parameters show different trends which may be caused by ship motion on the wave and fluctuation of propelling power.

최근 여객선이 고속화, 고금화되고 있는 추세에 따라 선실내 소음 저감이 중요한 설계 요소로 간주되고 있다. 일반적으로 선박 소으믄 음암레벨로 평가되나 여객선의 경우 승객에게 더욱 쾌적한 환경을 제공하기 위하여 음질을 개선할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 연근해를 운항 중인 기존 고속 여객선의 소음을 계측하고, 정신음향학 분야에서 제시된 Zwicker Loudness 계산식에 의거하여 음의 크기, 거칙기, 변동세기 및 날카로움으로 음질을 평가하였다. 또한, 각각의 음질 평가요소와 음압간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 상기 결과로부터 고속여객선의 음의 크기는 음압과 비례하는 반면에 음의 거질치 (roughness),변동세기(fluctuation strength)및 날카로움(sharpness)은 선박의 운동과 추락변동 등으로 인하여 음압과 비선형적인 상관관계를 나타냄을 확인하였다.
