Speech intelligibility of the eavesdropping sound is investigated on a acoustic cavity - glass window coupled system. Using MLS (Maximum Length Sequency) signal as a sound source, acceleration and velocity responses of the glass window are measured by accelerometer and laser doppler vibrometer. MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) is used to identify tile speech transmission characteristics of the cavity and window system. STI (Speech Transmission Index) based upon MTF is calculated and speech intelligibility of the vibration sound of the glass window is estimated. Speech intelligibilities by the acceleration signal and the velocity signal are compared. Finally, intelligibility of the conversation sound is confirmed by the subjective test.

In this study, possibility of the laser eavesdropping is investigated on the window glasses with various thicknesses, Glass windows are excited by maximum length sequency (MLS) signal and the vibration sound is detected by a laser doppler vibrometer. From the detected sound, speech intelligibility is objectively estimated. Speech transmission index (STI), which is based on the modulation transfer function (MTF). is calculated for the estimation. Finally, disturbing wave effect on the speech intelligibility is analysed by using an outside speaker and a window shaker attached on the glass window. The purpose of the study is to estimate the possibility of remote eavesdropping by the laser sensor and to evaluate the performance of the homemade window shaker to protect from the remote eavesdropping.

The purpose of the study is to obtain acoustical information to prevent eavesdropping of the glass window. Speech intelligibility was investigated on the vibration sound detected from the glass window of a conference room. Objective test using speech transmission index(STI) was performed to estimate quantitatively the speech intelligibility. STI was determined based on tile modulation transfer function(MTF) of the room-glass window system. Using Maximum Length Sequency(MLS) signal as a sound source, impulse responses of the glass window and MTF were determined by signals from accelerometers and laser doppler vibrometer. Finally, speech intelligibility of the interior sound and window vibration were compared under different sound pressure levels and amplifier gains to confirm the effect of measurement condition on the speech intelligibility.

Eavesdropping prevention performance is evaluated on a commercial window shaker, which is used to prevent a glass window from eavesdropping. Speech transmission index (STI) is introduced in order to estimate quantitatively the speech intelligibility of the sound detected on the glass window. Objective test by IEC standard using modulation transfer function (MTF) is performed to determine STI. Using Maximum Length Sequency (MLS) signal as a sound source, MTF is measured by accelerometers and laser doppler vibrometer. STI under different level of disturbing wave are compared to confirm the disturbing effect on the speech intelligibility.

The speech sound is detected by the vibration measurement of the window glass. In this study, we investigate the effect of the disturbing waves by background noise and window shaker excitation on the speech intelligibility of the detected sound. Based upon Modulation Transfer Function(MTF), speech intelligibility of the sound is objectively estimated by Speech Transmission Index(STI) As the level of the disturbing wave varies, variation of the speech intelligibility is examined. Experimental result reveals how STI is influenced by the level and frequency characteristics of the disturbing wave. By using a customized window shaker for disturbing sound, we evaluate the efficiency and the frequency characteristics of the anti-eavesdropping system. The purpose of the study is to provide useful information to prevent the eavesdropping through the window glass.

산업이 고도화 되면서 기계장비의 중량화와 고속화가 가속되어지고 있으며, 이로 인하여 과다한 진동과 소음을 유발시키고 있다. 특히 교통량이 많은 도로변의 건물 및 주택가에 소음공해가 심하며, 고속도로 및 철도연변의 건물 및 주택가는 비록 차음벽을 설치하여 많은 소음을 차단해 주지만 미흡한 상태다. 또한 철도 진동이 주위 건물 기초로 전파하여 건물의 진동을 유발하여 건물벽체가 갈라짐의 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서, 교통 소음이 심한 장소에서는 차음율이 높은 재료를 사용하여 공기음을 차단하며, 건물의 유리창은 가능한 한 2겹유리(pair glass)를 사용한다. 또한 철도 연변의 건물기초는 베어링 페드를 사용하여 지반으로 전파되는 진동을 차단하여 줌으로써 안락한 주거환경 및 근무환경을 조성하리라 생각한다.

얼마전까지만 해도 우리나라는 조용한 아침의 나라, 동방예의지국이라 예찬되어 왔으며, 아름다운 산하는 금수강산이라 불리어져 왔다. 비록 창호지 한장으로 바른 창문이었지만 소음공해같은 것은 결코 느끼지 않고 살았으며, 창호지를 통하여 전달되는 첫새벽의 닭우는 소리는 소음이라기 보다는 장부의 단잠을 깨워주는 자연음으로서의 낭만이 있었다. 그러나, 이젠 사정이 크게 달라졌다. 지난 40년 동안에 우리나라 경제가 고도성장을 이룩함으로써 우선 국민생활은 풍요로와 겼으나 대소 공장과 사업장 및 교통혼잡으로부터 The아져 나온 각종 오염물질이 엄청나게 증가하여 호흡하는 공기와 마시는 물, 곡물이 자양되는 토양은 병들어 가고 있을 뿐만 아니라 옛날에는 생각지도 못했던 온갖 소음ㆍ진통으로 우리는 포장되어 살아가고 있다 해도 과언이 아니다. $\ulcorner$소음진동규제법$\lrcorner$에 소음이란 기계ㆍ기구ㆍ시설 기타 물체의 사용으로 인하여 발생한 강한 소리라 정의하고 있다. 말할 것도 없이 이는 인위적으로 발생되는 시끄러운 소리를 의미하며, 이러한 소음을 다소나마 피하기 위해 창문을 알루미늄샤시 유리창으로 바꾸어 커텐을 치고, 출입문을 두중한 원목 도어로 교체 해도 다양해지고 강해진 소음공해를 막기는 어려운 세상이 되 었다. 이로 인하여 우리는 생활의 안정을 위협 받게 되었으며, 학업과 생업에 크고 작은 장해를 받으며 살아가고 있는 것이 오늘의 현실이다. 정부ㆍ기업ㆍ국민 각자가 쾌적한 환경을 보전하고자 하는 확고한 의지와 배경이 없다면 후손들에게도 대물림 될 것임에 틀림없으며, 특히 이러한 현상은 도회지에서 더욱 심화될 것임은 명약관화하다 하겠다.
