As the results of actual survey of indoor noise in apartment houses, it represents that plumbing noise and floor impact noise are most unsatisfactory factors to inhabitants. In this paper, the actual condition of plumbing noise in apartment houses was measured and the methods of plumbing noise reduction are suggested. For these suggestions, the actual survey of plumbing noise and the model test on structure-borne sound of water supply pipe and drain sound were carried out.

국내 화장실 양변기의 배수 및 세정소음에 관한 실험실 측정결과를 소개하고자 한다. 1989년 대한주택공사에서 조사한 설문조사에 의하면 공동주택에서 외부로부터 들리는 소음에 대한 불만을 조사한 결과, 바닥충격음, 급배수설비 소음, 그리고, 공기전달음의 순으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 급배수시 발생소음은 공동주택 입주자의 주요한 민원중의 하나이다. 급배수설비 소음은 유체의 유동에 의하여 발생하며, 직접 공기중을 전파하여 가는 “공기전달음”과 배관지지 재료 및 구조체 등을 통해 재차 공기중을 전파하여가는 “고체전달음” 으로 구분된다. 여기서 “공기전달음”이란 실내에서 발생한 소리가 구조체를 진동하고 구조체는 인접실의 구조체 주변의 공기를 진동하여 소리가 방사되거나 또는 인접실간에 열려 있는 통로를 거쳐 전달되는 소음을 말하고 “고체전달음”이란 음원이 접하고 있는 건물구조체를 통하여 진동의 형태로 전달되는 소음을 일컫는다. 공동주택에서 배수관은 아래층 천장배관에 해당되므로 배수관에서 발생하는 소음은 아래층으로 직접 전달된다. 이러한 배수설비 소음은 배관재의 종류, 배관스페이스의 구조 및 위치 등에 따라 소음레벨이 달라지게 된다.(중략)

This study was analyzed the correlation between physically measured values and psychological response for noise of water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. It exhibited the noise criteria of water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom after recording noise of water supply and drain installations. Also, It was carried out the field psycho-acoustic test to find a correlation between physically measured values and psychological response of the noise criteria of water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom, and the results is that 40dB (A) to 45dB (A) was investigated suitable in lowest criteria.

This study aims to select the proper vocabularies for evaluation about the noise emission from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. As a result of surveying overlapping vocabularies and scores of them for each sound sources, 'annoying', 'noisy', 'dynamic' and 'strident' are main unpleasant vocabularies to the noise from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. And vocabularies such as 'dynamic', 'sudden', 'loudness', 'noisy' are classified into the first factor by analysis.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the appropriate evaluation method for the water supply and drain noise of bathroom in apartment and to propose some fundamental idea on its regulation. For this reason, it was studied the acoustical characteristics of water supply and drain noise as modifying the water supply pressure for the washbasins and toilet stools and suggested the optimum evaluation method through psychoacoustic test. As a result of investigation of the levels by evaluating the adjectives and noise sources with 7-step criteria corresponding to each level of plumbing noises and analysis of the correlation between physical evaluation values by comparing the criteria, dB(A), N, and NC, with subject's response, determination coefficient($R^2$) was shown to be relatively fair or higher ranged from 0.65 to 0.92. It is shown that 'Harsh', 'Nervous', 'Unpleasant', 'Distasteful', and 'Repellent' as a second factor are to be appropriate to evaluate plumbing noise. Above these results could be used in basic data establishing KS(Korean Standard) for evaluation and rating procedure and measures reducing these noise.

This study aims to evaluate noise emission from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. These noise were one of the most annoying noise sources in apartment houses. Especially, drain plumbing system have used bellow bathroom ceiling, it was very discomfort to hear the noise in bellow apartment. Noise of closets and faucets were measured which were main noise source, then these noise were evaluate and analyzed the emitting characteristics varying the supplying water pressure. As increasing the water pressure, also total noise level of the water supplying stool noise and faucet noise were increased. Especially the water closet showed remarkably the increasing noise level in middle and high frequency bandwidth, while the noise level of faucets increased in $50\;Hz{\sim}250\;Hz$ of low frequency bandwidth. Vortex closet were favorable to syphon closet, and lever faucet were favorable to conventional lavatory faucet on reducing the noise. Above these results could be used in basic data establishing KS (Korean Standard) for evaluation and rating procedure and measures reducing these noise.

This study aims to propose appropriate evaluating method of noise emission from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. The measurement procedure of water installations noise in apartment bathroom were established, so it is necessary to provide the evaluating method and criteria to improve the sound insulation performance of the apartment and to reduce the apartment dweller's unsatisfaction with the noise. Thus, this study reviewed the standards and evaluating methods about the water supply and drain installations noise of many other country. After measuring the noise emission from the installations in many apartment bathroom, The noise were evaluated dB(A), N, NC index, To induce the appropriate method, the coefficient of the correlation among the evaluated numbers were analyzed. As a result, the dB(A) method is most easy to evaluating and very high correlated with N and N index, So the dB(A) method is suitable to be adopted KS evaluating procedure of noise emission from water installations in apartment bathroom.

Recently Requirement of indoor environment is increased in APT. Among indoor noises of APT, noise of plumbing system in bathroom is very serious problem except of floor impact noise. Plumbing system with wan hanging unit make a good grade and recognition in rating noise of bathroom in grade of house rating. But it is hard to find a data which are measured in APT built. In this study, the effect of noise reduction is checked by measuring the noise of plumbing system with wall hanging unit that is built. As result the upper household's Peak sound level is measured 80dB(A), the under household's peak sound level is measured 40dB(A).
