The paper deals with the countermeasure against structure-borne noise source and noise reduction of drainage pipes. Recently, the problem the problem of the toilet drain noise of an apartment house has been become the center of public interest and a target of public grievance. Generally, the drain noise of a toilet in the apartment house has a pink noise characteristics below 2 kHz level, and therefore, the structure-borne noise has a great effect on the entire drain noise. In order to measure the transmission loss for various kinds of pipes such as PVC pipes, cast-iron pipes and newly developed AS pipes, experimental setup containing speakers as a sound source was designed and manufactured. The second-stories measurement room with a small size anechoic chamber was constructed and the noise level for different kinds of drainage pipes was measured by the sound level meter. Through the experimental research in the study, noise reduction capacity for various kinds of drainage pipes and countermeasures against structure-borne noise source are demonstrated.

Due to its characteristics of acoustic wave energy absorption, punched structures are generally applied on the wall of anechoic room. When the acoustic wave propagates through the punched plates, its energy dissipates into thermal energy by flow separation induced from the viscosity of acoustic media. The acoustic pressure difference between the for-side and the aft-side of punched plate ran be represented by the sum of drag term proportional to square of velocity and inertia term proportional to acceleration. The way to get the coefficients of the terms by an experiment or relatively simple calculation is introduced.

We developed an electronic lens for acoustic imaging systems, which is linear array with 31 microphones equally spaced with distance 34mm. Resonant frequency fo receiver circuit coupled to microphone is 20 kHz. We arranged 16 microphones horizontally and 15 microphones vertically, so that the array allows us to obtain a 2 dimensional angle of source, and to track the motion of source in real time. Due to the problem of aliasing in discrete Fourier Transfrom, the maximum observable angle of the lens is limited to 15${\circ}$. We also employed quadrature phase detection scheme to adjust the focus. We have tested the acoustic lens with a personal computer in an anechoic room and obtained the results agreed with the acoustic imaging theory.

In this paper, an underwater acoustic digital transceiver is designed and implemented by a multiple DSPs system. We have designed a QPSK transmitter based on look-up table and 13-symbols Barker code is used for frame synchronization. Channel distortions are compensated by a wide-band beamformer based on FIR filter and an adaptive equalize. with RLS algorithm. Uniform linear array (ULA) with four elements is used for the spartial signal processing. 1/2 convolutional code and Viterbi decoder are implemented to overcome time-varying multi-path fading. Also, we show experimental results in the underwater anechoic basin at KRISO/KORDl and Goseong, Donghae and Soyang lake of Kangwon-do.

We investigated passby noise measurement method in a small-sized semi-anechoic chamber satisfying the American based SAE J1470 Recommended Practice to facilitate the measurements. We have tired two passby noise prediction methods. One is line array microphone method in which the free space sound field is decomposed into its eigenfunctions in the spherical coordinates and rearranged according to the order of the spherical Hankel function. However, due to the characteristics of the spherical Hankel function, it is impossible to distinguish the function's characteristics according to the order in farfield. Consequently it can be applied in the transient region of the nearfield and the farfield. The other method is nearfield acoustic holography(NAH). Although measuring hologram for the several operational engine speeds by conventional scanning method is time-consuming work, we can greatly reduce the measuring time by selecting the appropriate engine speed through preexperimental knowledge. To verify this method we experimented with the outdoor passby noise measurements and the passby noise prediction in the small-sized semi-anechoic chamber for the identical passenger vehicle and obtained reasonable and acceptable results.

디지털 방송기술이 진보함에 따라 사용자들의 실감방송에 대한 욕구도 증가하고 있다. 실감방송의 목적은 3차원 AV 기술을 통해 사용자가 마치 녹음/녹화한 현장에 있는 것과 같은 느낌을 주는 것이다. 청취자가 녹음한 환경에 있는 것과 같은 느낌을 주는 3차원 오디오 신호의 획득을 위해 더미헤드를 많이 이용한다. 인간의 머리형태를 띤 더미헤드의 특성 때문에 더미헤드를 이용하여 획득한 신호를 헤드폰을 통해 재생하는 경우 입체감을 느낄 수 있다. 하지만 더미헤드의 형태 및 크기 때문에 공공장소에서 사용하기가 어렵고, 획득한 신호를 멀티채널 신호로 변환하기가 힘들며, 재생 시 전/후방 혼동현상이 많이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 더미헤드의 단점을 극복하기 위해 머리형태를 구체로 간략화하고, 구체 위에 다수개의 마이크를 배치함으로써 3차원 오디오를 획득하고, 후처리 과정을 통해 다양한 재생환경에 적절한 재생신호를 생성할 수 있는 3차원 오디오 획득 및 재생 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템의 성능평가를 위해 무향실에서 주관적 방향성 평가 실험을 수행한 결과, 더미헤드 기술의 단점인 전/후방 혼동현상을 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 3차원 오디오 시스템은 3D-TV나 실감방송 통에서 입체음향 콘텐츠 획득에 이용 가능하다.

This paper presents objective methods which predict perceptual noise levels caused by refrigerators. Eight home refrigerators are chosen and their noises are recorded in an anechoic-chamber and a real-life apartment. In order to obtain perceptual noise levels of the refrigerators, subjective quality assessment tests were performed by 100 evaluators Then, we compute 5 sound quality metrics (SQM) which reflect psychoacoustics characteristics. Finally, objective assessment model for refrigerator noises is developed by linear combination of SQMs.

In this Paper, a super wide-band EM wave absorber was designed by attaching pyramidal type absorber on a ferrite absorber. The used ferrite absorber was in hemisphere type on a cutting cone-shaped absorber. As a result, the bandwidth has been broadened from 30 MHz to 18 GHz and the total height of the EM Wave absorber is relatively low profile of 14.26 cm.

This paper is the first step to study on the acoustic characteristics of the Haegeum, a Korean traditional bowed-string instrument. We measured acoustic transfer functions of a Haegeum body using impulse response method. All the measurements are performed in anechoic chamber, INMC, SNU. We examined resonant characteristics of the Haegeum body with obtained transfer functions. Then we performed additional studies which are the Chladni pattern experiments and calculations of air cavity resonances to verify relations between the resonant peaks on the transfer functions and the resonances of each component, such as top plate, air cavity and so on. As a result, we can explain the acoustic characteristics of a Haegeum body and its components.

This study aims to improve the flow and noise performances of an axial-flow fan for cooling the machine room in a refrigerator by using airfoil-cascade analysis and surface ridge shape. First, the experimental evaluations using a fan performance tester and an anechoic chamber are performed to analyze the flow and noise performances of the existing fan system. Then, the corresponding flow and noise performances are numerically assessed using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) equation, and the validity of numerical results are confirmed through their comparisons with the experimental results. The analysis for the flow of a cascade of airfoils constructed from the existing fan blades is performed, and the pitch angles for the maximum lift-to-drag ratio are determined. The improved flow performance of the new fan applied with the optimum pitch angles is confirmed. Then, the fan blades with surface ridges on their pressure sides are devised, and the reduction of aerodynamic noise of the ridged fan is numerically confirmed. Finally, the prototype of the final fan model is manufactured, and improvements in the flow and noise performances of the prototype are experimentally confirmed.
