Because the puretone audiometer is an important medical instrument used to diagnose hearing loss, the IEC and ANSI has been published a specification with which audiometer should comply. This paper describes development of Linux based real-time spectrum analyzer which is dedicated to puretone audiometer. It can measure not only hearing level but also compliance of IEC standard for puretone audiometer such as frequency accuracy, harmonic distortion, pulsed tone, narrow band noise and linearity. We have verified our real-time spectrum analyzer through comparing to commercial product.

Puretone audiometer, which is a machine used for measuring the minimum hearing threshold, can be cost-effectively implemented using computer with sound card and software. In this paper, we describe a puretone audiometer which has been designed and implemented based on a general PC with sound card. It supports air conduction and bone conduction test taking with automatic masking. It also provides multiple modes consisted of self-test, auto-test and manual test mode. Such multiple modes makes it possible to use in various environments like as home and/or hospital. Through measure of waveform of output voltage and sound pressure, we verified that puretone audiometer of this paper properly operates.

Since People have serveral feelings for the sound according to its frequency the responses of sound frequencies for the people have been studies in this paper. The feelings of sound are investigated by questionaire thar are pure tones, waring sounds of automobile and sounds that white noise is passed by one and one-third octave bandpass filter. Experimental results have been shown that people have good response for the pure tone between 160(Hz) and 500(Hz), and have unpleasant response for the pure tone above 1000 (Hz), warning sounds of automobile, and for white noise. Warning sound of automobile horn has been mainly distributed between 1000(Hz) and 2600(Hz). Hence the resells are shown that the responses for warning sound of autombile horn are similar to that for pure tone between 100(Hz) and 2600(Hz). As a results, it is necessary to make warning sound of automobile horn have frequencies between 200(Hz) and 500(Hz) with low level in the residental districts and crowded streets.

In the AV system, stereophonic system has been studied to produce a realistic sound effect. The width of stereo AV system speakers is narrow, to have the spatial impression of sound effect, widening the sound image is necessary. The direction of sound image depends on the phase delay and the sound pressure level difference between two channels. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between the phase delay and the direction of the sound image relating to the frequency of sound source. Also we experimented to directionally localize the sound image of the pure tone with shifting phases and controling sound pressure love between two channels when the sound is reproduced by two speakers to make a spatial impression of sound effect.

Because the tonal sound of the underwater noise in a naval vessel can be identified from the sub-marine of the enemy, it should be reduced sufficiently. This kind of the noise usually comes from the structure-borne noise of the onboard machine and transfers to the sea through the hull of the ship. The vibration at the high frequency can be reduced sufficiently with damping material. In this paper, the damping coefficient of the steel plate with damping sheet is evaluated by experiment. Using these evaluated properties, the numerical analysis is performed in order to evaluate how much vibration of the generator can be reduced applying damping sheet on the encloser and base of it.

본 연구에서는 기존의 문헌에 자세히 기술되지 않은 주파수 분할 방법에 대한 고찰을 통해 과도음의 라우드니스 해석에 적합한 임계 대역 해석 방법을 제안하고, 이를 근거로 과도음의 라우드니스 모델을 구현하여 기존의 임상 실험 결과와의 비교함으로써 그 유효성을 확인하였다. 또한 순음의 라우드니스 해석에서 기존 라우드니스 모델이 안고 있는 신호해석 상의 문제점 등을 지적하고 이를 개선한 새로운 모델을 제시하였다. 개선 방법으로서 임계 대역폭의 1/2 간격으로 총 47개의 임계 대역 필터를 배치하여 필터의 경계에 순음이 존재할 때 발생할 수 있는 라우드니스 오차를 최소화 하였다. 또한 이 모델에서는 Zwicker가 제안했던 기존의 방법을 제안된 임계 대역 필터에 적합하도록 수정하는 작업이 포함되었다.

본 논문에서는 저 비트오율 압축 시 발생되는 신호 왜곡을 인간의 지각적 특성을 이용하여 음질을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 저 비트오율 압축 과정에서 손실된 고주파 영역의 신호를 부가 정보를 사용하지 않고 손실되지 않은 영역의 정보를 사용하여 고주파 영역의 신호를 첨가함으로써 음질을 개선하였다. 비 손실 영역의 순음 및 비 순음 성분을 검출하여 손실영역에 해당 하모닉 성분을 청각 자극 에너지로 스케일 하여 새로운 신호를 첨가한다. 원 신호와 저 비트오율 압축으로 인해 왜곡된 신호, 그리고 본 논문의 알고리즘을 이용하여 개선된 신호를 신호 대 잡음 비를 측정하고 청감 테스트를 통해 음질 개선 효과를 확인하였다.
