Recently a slat type ceiling is widely used in various spaces, such as music performance spaces and concourse of airport and a general reception area of a building. However, it is hard to find a proper design guideline or material useful in designing such spaces, due to the lack of relevant researches on the effect of a slat ceiling on room acoustics. The present work investigated the effect of a slat type ceiling using a physical scale model method. A 1/20 scale model of a small shoe-box type music performance hall was built and a slat ceiling with different configurations was installed. 6 cases of different ceiling configurations were considered with the combination of 2 slat ceiling height cases and 3 distance cases between slats. The effect of a slat ceiling on the acoustics of a room was evaluated by measuring reverberance($T_{30}$), intelligibility and clarity($D_{50}$ and $C_{80}$), and loudness(G and $G_{80}$).

In this paper, we made shorter EDT(early decay time) of room reverberation curve using multiple-channel. The speech signal was processed inverse filtering with full-band and sub-band in the basis MINT, and then the multiple-channel adaptive filters were used LMS (Least Mean Square) and NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm. Experimental results, we could get 1/3 of time reduction at 20dB level in the reverberation curve using full-band NLMS when two microphones were used. Also, it is shown that the speech articulation was improved 80% from the test listeners with the speech, which was to shorten EDT by MINT in the subjective assessments using real room impulse response.

An uplink indoor positioning system is proposed in the present work, where the acoustic signals are solely used for positioning. The underlying acoustic signals include whistle, finger snap, and hands-clapping. In the proposed method, positioning is achieved by finding the time-difference-of-arrivals using several self-generating sounds. To evaluate the feasibility of the signals and their positioning accuracies, the database of 100 persons about self-generating acoustic signals is built up. The results show that the hands-clapping sound is the most suitable for acoustic-based indoor positioning.

In order to see the effects of talker sidetone on a talker's speech level quantitatively when he converses with others on a telephone, we reviewed the measuring algorithm of speech level and assessed variation of speech level due to that of sidetone masking rating(STMR). We measured room noise effects on speech level, when STMR values were changed, as well. If we consider the effects of talker sidetone and room noise on speech level, the results of experiments suggest that a talker continuously tries to keep the psychological loudness of his own speech, heard by himeself via a telephone handset, at the constant and comfortable level by controlling his speaking level according as STMR value and room noise are change. That is, because the amount of his speech masked by his talker sidetone and room noise is different when STMR value and room noise are changed, we can see the tendency that he controls his speaking level in order to keep the perceived psychological loudness of his own speech to be constant.

The noise management in the interior of the power plant is difficult because the interior is large and the noise level varies greatly from location to location. Therefore, a noise visualization system capable of analyzing the noise distribution is required in order to effectively manage the interior noise. A noise mapping system was developed that can model the inside of the turbine room and create a noise map by measuring the noise level at selected points. And in order to increase the reliability of the model, the model was modified through a method of comparing the noise map and the actual noise measurement results. Facility abnormalities can be determined through regular analysis of noise maps, and a method of effectively managing the interior noise is presented by comparing and analyzing the frequencies and levels of the current and previous noise at a specific point. By using the mapping system, it is possible to establish noise countermeasures that can improve the working environment, check the machine for abnormalities, and increase the reliability of the facility through preventive maintenance.

Time delay estimation between two acoustic sensors is widely used in room acoustics and sonar for target position estimation, tracking and synchronization. A cross-correlation based method is representative for the time delay estimation. However, this method does not have enough consideration for the noise added to the receiving acoustic sensors. This paper proposes a new time delay estimation method considering the added noise on the receiver acoustic sensors. From comparing with the existing GCC (Generalized Cross Correlation) method, and adaptive eigen decomposition method, we show that the proposed method outperforms other methods for a colored signal source in the white Gaussian noise condition.

In this paper, a new pre-processing algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of stereo acoustic echo canceller. The proposed algorithm has the improved performance by the estimation error reduction of filter coefficient using input signal which was reduced reverberation of room in the basis MINT (Mu1tip1e-input/output Inverse Theorem) filtering. For real stereo speech signal and real room impulse response the results of simulation, we showed that the proposed method could improved 3∼5 dB ERLE (Echo Return Loss Enhancement) regardless of NLMS (Normalized Least Mean Square) and Projection adaptive algorithm.

본 논문은 여러 음향신호의 도달각에 기반한 실내측 위성능을 분석한다. 도달각 측정을 위해 송출전력이 같은 총성, 벨소리, 그리고 의사충격음을 사용하였다. 음향 신호는 약 32 평방미터의 실험실에서 한 개의 음원 스피커를 통해 송출되고, 두 쌍의 서로 동기가 맞는 배열 마이크를 통해 수신된다. 수신된 음향신호로부터 한 마이크 쌍 사이의 도달지연시간차가 측정되고, 이로부터 도달각이 산출된다. 끝으로, 음원 스피커의 최종 위치는 도달각의 교점으로 결정된다. 본 논문은 설치한 실험환경에서의 참 도달각과 측정 도달각의 평균절대오차와 측위오차의 상보누적분포를 보이고, 이에 대한 성능특성을 분석한다.

본 연구에서는 차체구조계의 진동모드 변수와 차실음향계의 음향모드변수들이 어떻게 관련되어 차실소음을 결정하는 가를 밝혔다. 그 결과, 수치해석 결과의 효용 성을 높이고 실내소음 평가방법을 체계화 시킬 수 있었으며, 효과적인 소음저감을 위 한 유용한 자료를 얻을 수가 있었다. 한편, 이제까지의 차실소음의 응답해석에서 가 장 큰 오차의 발생요인은 차체의 구조진동 모드데이타인데, 본 연구에서는 유한요소해 석 대신 모드시험 결과를 이용함으써, 유한요소 모델리이 어려운 경우의 소음 해석의 신뢰도를 높일수가 있었다.
