The indoor noise limit for road traffic noises is needed to secure comfortable acoustical quality in apartment houses. To achieve this goal, psycho-acoustic experiments were carried out with road traffic noise sources modulated by the transmission loss characteristics of the external windows. Finally, a correlation analysis between noise rating index and subjective responses, and an analysis of satisfactory percentage of the dose-response curves varied with respondents was conducted. As a result of this study, followings are suggested. (1) On correlation between dose level and psycho-acoustical response, the initial level of negative feeling is located on $40.1\~40.6\;L_{eq}$ dB(A), (2) On the degree of satisfaction to road traffic noise. near $35\;\%$ point being same dissatisfaction degree is to be assumed $40\~41$ dB(A) of indoor noise level presented into three vocabulary. It is suggested to be reasonable level of 40 dB(A) on the indoor noise limits for intruding road traffic noise. and it is appropriate to be the 5 dB level difference between grades. The results of this study may be used to evaluate the acoustic threshold level for road traffic noise or as a basis for specifying the desired acoustic environment of dwellings.

This study investigates which sound quality indices except SPL raise annoyance response. For investigation, auditory perception experiments for road traffic noise with identical linear SPL were performed by Paired Comparison Method. The numerical results of a Paired Comparison experiment express relative preference about annoyance. So that these relative preference scores are to be correlated to sound quality indices, which are absolute, a transformation is required to go from the relative domain to an absolute and linear scale of preference. The results of the transformation will be the 'merit values,' which quantifies the annoyance(in this case) of the road traffic noise on a linear scale. Using multiple regression, a formula is established that can calculate predicted merit values. Furthermore, This investigation offers a method selecting sound samples that represent various sound quality indices values to use experiment.

Road traffic noise map is effective method to save cost and time for environmental noise assessment. Generally, noise is calculated by using theoretical equation of noise prediction, and the calculated result can be influenced by various input factors. Especially, domestic vehicle classification method for traffic flow and heavy vehicle percentage is different from that of foreign countries. Thus, this can cause effect on the noise prediction results. In this study, noise prediction results by using domestic vehicle classification method are compared with those by foreign methods.

도로교통소음의 저감을 위해 설치되는 방음벽의 성능평가를 위해서는 흡음률 및 투과손실과 같은 음향성능에 대한 평가뿐만 아니라, 풍압 및 충격하중과 같은 구조성능과 방음판 제작에 사용되는 재질에 관한 성능평가도 수반되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 방음벽의 성능평가를 위한 음향 구조 및 재질에 관한 시험 및 평가방법을 제시하였다.

This paper studied the efficient noise prediction method for new apartment house near the road traffic noise. Three noise prediction software were compared by each prediction noise level using the simple model which is included the road, soundproofing wall and building. Two foreign national calculation models(RLS-90 and NMPB) were verified by comparison of measured sound level. Frequency of sound level was predicted by NMPB and compared by measured data. The sphere of noise source and facade reflection were proposed to accurate predict the road traffic noise in new apartment house.

This study is a paper relating to between road traffic noise(RTN) and sound power level(PWL). At present to prediction of RTN is used to many experimental models and prediction methods. RTN is computed PWL using existing experimental models and prediction methods. Then, computed PWL is compared with it of measurement value, in them, it is selected model most similar to measurement value. And then, this results will watch for make Noise Map, as application field applied to computed results.

Neighboring buildings which are sufficiently close to both sides of an urban street reflect sound back to the road and sound energy is increased by thses reflectors. Therefore, this study is forcussed on the prediction modeling for road traffic noise under reflective conditions. A part of a block in urban road is regared as a box. The sound energy density in the box is employed to establish prediction formulas in terms of independent variables. The variables. The validity of the proposed prediction method has been experimentally confirmed by applying it to actually measured road traffic noise data. On the whole, the agreement between measured and predicted noise levels appeared to be satisfactory.

We have made known the study of shape development of interference device for vehicle noise control. It's primary object greatly attenuate the noise due to transport vehicle by small products installed on the noise barrier edge. Also, it is able to improve the insertion loss of a noise barrier without increasing the height. The present time, we set up a newly manufactured products on the noise barrier edge and testify to it's the performance make use of an experiment and evaluation for the reduction of highway traffic noise. In this paper the frequency characteristic of interference device of noise barriers with attached newly developed products in terms of shape, absorptive material and split panel, are examined using field test at highway.

The Low frequency(1-200 Hz) noise levels radiated by road traffic were investigated. The results showed that the peak pass-by noise of truck with speed of 60km/h was about 75㏈. For the infra-sound frequency range, the noise was about 65㏈ and it was less value than expected. But the noise level will be increase as increasing the speed. The pass-by noise for train was also measured for comparison. The peak train noise was about 95㏈ and it will be enough noise level for a human body to give nuisance.

NMPB 2008을 포함한 일부 소음 예측식에서는 기상학적 요소를 고려할 수 있다. 특히 NMPB 2008을 이용하여 소음을 예측할 경우에는 기상학적인 요소의 고려는 필수적이다. 하지만, 우리나라의 실제 기상 상황을 반영할 수 있는 방법이 없는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 요소를 적용하기 위해서 하향 굴절 발생 빈도를 적용하여 소음도를 비교하였다. 기상학적 요소의 하향 굴절 발생 빈도의 증가에 따라 소음도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였고, 1kHz 이상의 주파수에서 거리에 따른 소음도의 차이에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 기상학적 요소의 적용은 예측 소음도의 정확도를 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다.
