In this study, the acoustic performance was analyzed by architectural shapes of the hall. There are four architectural shapes of halls. They are rectangular, horseshoe, surround, and fan-shape. Eight acoustic parameters were used to determine the acoustic performance. These are RT₆₀, EDT, C₈₀, BQI, LF, G_mid, G₁₂₅ and ITDG. First, measurement data of famous concert halls around the world were analyzed. The correlation coefficient R was obtained by regression analysis of the relationship between the subjective ranking of the halls and the acoustic parameters. It was found that BQI, G, and ITDG have higher correlation coefficients R. Also the average of acoustic parameters for each architectural shape were obtained. The total acoustic performance for each shape was calculated by using the correlation coefficient R as a weight for each acoustic parameters. As a result, rectangular halls and horseshoe halls showed good acoustical performances. Second, 3D models of each architectural shape were created and acoustic simulation had been performed. The simulation was performed by creating 3D models of each four shapes of concert halls with the same volume and sound absorption coefficient. Listening test was carried out using the sound source which is created from impulse responses of 3D model. As a result, rectangular hall and horseshoe hall showed the best performance however surround hall and fan-shaped hall showed relatively poor performance.

The office environment is changing according to work types, Information Technology (IT) advancements, and the Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 situation. In order for office space users to perform their tasks comfortably and efficiently, it is necessary to secure individual privacy as well as easy communication among members. In Korea, the demand for improving the acoustic performance of office spaces is also increasing, but the related performance criteria and guidelines have not been established. In this study, standardization of office space acoustic performance measurement and evaluation methods and European countries' acoustic performance criteria were compared and reviewed. It is proposed to comprehensively review international standardization trends and acoustic performance standards in each country and to establish and utilize criteria for evaluating the acoustic performance and satisfaction of office spaces in Korea through our survey. Considering the international standardization direction and compatibility with communication and Public Address (PA) systems, it is appropriate to establish criteria using the speech transmission index or Speech Transmission Index (STI) application index. This criterion will be highly utilizable and compatible. In addition, since the office furniture industry is interested in improving the acoustic performance of office space, it is necessary to establish a labelling system for speech level reduction of office furniture.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the contents of the sound environment among the various environmental factors that directly or indirectly affect the quality of education through the remodeling of the small hall of the College of Humanities at W University. Before remodeling into a lecture room, the small hall of the College of Humanities at W University, which is the subject of this study, was designed to create an indoor sound environment suitable for a lecture room by recognizing differences in acoustic performance between the performance halls that require adequate sound quality and the lecture rooms where the clarity of voice is important. Therefore, this study aimed to present examples of improved acoustic performance in lecture rooms by remodeling through the stages of measuring acoustic performance before remodeling, presentation of a change in finishing materials through sound simulation, and measurement of sound performance after remodeling. It is expected that this process can be used as an example of securing indoor acoustic performance suitable for educational space, such as lecture rooms, by changing the finishing materials.

In this study, the acoustic performance of a dissipative silencer used in the ship with excellent performance compared to its size was predicted and analyzed using a numerical analysis method to reduce the pipe noise. To this end, the performance of the single expansion chamber-shaped silencer was verified using experimental and numerical analysis methods. The acoustic performance of the silencer was expressed using the Transmission Loss (TL), an indicator of its own performance, and the result was derived using the two-load method, which measured by changing the impedance at the end of the pipe. For the numerical analysis method, a general-purpose finite element analysis program was used, and the Delany-Bazley-Miki model with the flow resistivity of the sound absorbing material as an input parameter was applied. Finally, we compared the experimental and simulated results for each of the acoustic performances of the single expansion type and the dissipative silencer to confirm the consistency of the results, and predicted and analyzed the simulation results for four cases according to the properties of the sound absorbing material.

본 논문은 스테레오 음향 반향 제거기에 적용되는 고속 Affine Projection 알고리듬 을 제안한다. 최근 스테레오 원격 회의 시스템은 보다 현실감 있는 원격 회의를 가능케 하 는 장점으로 인해 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 그러나, 회의실의 원단화자와 마이크로폰사이의 상호교차(cross-coupling)로 인해 음향 반향이 발생하게 된다. 만약 이 반향 신호가 제거되 지 않은채 수신 룸으로 전달되면 결국 음성 통화 품질이 저하된다. 이를 방지하기 위하여 추정 반향 신호를 만들어 내고 통신 품질의 손실 없이 이 반향을 제거하는 음향 반향 제거 기가 필수적이다. 단 채널 음향 반향 제거기와 다르게 스테레오 환경하에서의 음향 반향 제 거기는 전송실의 환경변화로 인한 성능 저하와 각 반향 경로를 추정하기 위해 사용하는 각 적응 필터의 임펄스응답이 반향 경로와 일치하지 않는 등의 각종 문제점들이 발생하게 된 다. 본 논문에서는 서로 상관관계 없는 입력신호를 만들어내고 전송실의 환경변화로 인한 성능저하를 보완하기 위해 전처리단(pre-processing block)을 제안하여 일반적인 방법에 대 해 3-10dB정도의 향상된 성능을 보이며 적은 계산량으로 빠른 수렴성능을 갖는 새로운 형 태의 스테레오 음향 반향 제거기를 제안한다.

Recently, the form of education has changed from one-way to two-way and mutual exchange rather than the existing one-way order form, and accordingly, it is necessary to consider creating a suitable learning environment for each type of education. The basic form of education consists of the delivery of knowledge, that is, the delivery of knowledge by teachers to education consumers through voice delivery, so the sound environment is considered an essential factor in creating a pleasant learning environment. The indoor sound environment is very closely related to the mental stress of the inmate, so the quality level of education will also change greatly depending on whether or not the appropriate sound environment is created. However, the importance of the sound environment in educational facilities such as classrooms has not been highlighted due to the lack of research and related laws on the sound environment. Therefore, in this study, auditory tests were conducted using the auralization based on the physical acoustic performance data presented in the preceding study. Through this, we wanted to verify the validity of this research by analyzing the subjective acoustic performance satisfaction of the occupants due to the improvement of the physical acoustic performance. Based on these research results, it is estimated that the improvement of the sound environment of educational facilities through remodeling in the future will be possible to verify whether the sound environment suitable for educational facilities is created only after the analysis stage on the improvement of subjective sound performance as well as physical sound performance.

In this paper, the acoustic performance of an absorptive silencer was enhanced by optimizing an arrangement of multi-layered absorbing materials. The acoustic performance of the silencer was evaluated through transmission loss, and finite element method-based numerical analysis program was employed to calculate the transmission loss. Polyurethane, a porous elastic material frequently used in absorptive silencers, was employed as the absorbing material. The Biot-Allard model was applied, assuming that air is filled inside the polyurethane. By setting the frequency range of interest up to the 2 kHz and the acoustic performance affecting properties of the absorbing materials were investigated when it was composed as a single layer. And the acoustic performance of the silencers with the single and multi-layered absorbing materials was compared with each other based on polyurethane material properties. Subsequently, the arrangement of the absorbing materials was optimized by applying the Nelder-Mead method. The results demonstrated that the average transmission loss improved compared to the single-layered absorptive silencer.

본 논문은 원거리 회의 시스템이나 차량 내 핸즈프리 통화 시 필연적으로 발생하는 음향 반향을 제거하기 위해 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 음향반향 제거 시스템은 Delayless 서브밴드 음향반향 제거기와 협대역 동시통화 검출기로 구성된다. Delayless Subband 적응 음향 반향 제거기는 적은 계산 량과 높은 수렴속도로 음향 반향 제거 성능이 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있으며 본 논문은 이를 이용해 안정적인 음향 반향 제거를 위해서 협대역 Subband 내에서 동시통화 검출기를 구현한다. 기존의 광대역 동시 통화 검출기에 비해 본 논문에서 제안된 협대역 동시통화 검출기는 저주파 Subband 대역에서만 동시통화 검출을 수행하여 down-sampling으로 인한 계산 량 감소와 저주파 특성을 가지는 Subband 대역의 신호 특성으로 인한 신뢰성 있는 통화 상태 정보를 제공함으로서 전체적인 음향반향제어 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 음향반향 제어 시스템의 성능은 다양한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증하도록 한다.

우리나라의 교회는 점점 신도수가 늘어나면서 점차 대형화되어가고 있으며 많은 첨단 설비를 갖추고자 하는 교회도 적지 않다. 하지만, 교회설계에 있어서, 대체로 그 형태와 규모만 중요시될 뿐, 그 기능에 적합한 건축물을 짓는데 소홀해 왔던 것이 사실이다. 교회의 예배공간에서 이루어지는 음향적인 매개체는 찬양과 설교인데, 이 두가지의 물리적 특성이 다르기 때문에 교회건축에 있어 실내음향은 어려운 과제라고 할 수 있다. 즉, 성가는 긴 잔향시간과 음의 따뜻함(Warmth)과 친밀감(Intimacy)등이 중시되는 반면, 설교는 소리의 명료도, 요해도(intelligibility) 등이 중시되는 등 그 음향적인 특성이 달라, 각기 다른 음환경을 요구하기 때문에 강당이나 음악당보다 교회음향이 건축적으로 난점이 있다고 하겠다. 본 연구는 최근에 시뮬레이션을 통해 음향설계를 실시한 규모가 각기 다른 예배실의 제원과 음향성능을 조사하고 그 특성을 비교, 분석하여 일반적인 음향성능을 개선하기 위한 방안을 모색하여 교회 음향설계단계에 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 예배실의 규모에 따라 5개의 교회를 선정하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어낸 각 교회의 성가시, 설교시 실내음향인자값(SPL, RT, C80, RASTI)과 마감재료 등을 조사하고, 비교하였다. 대체로 규모가 큰 교회에서 음압레벨이 작게 나타났고, 잔향시간도 실의 체적이 클수록 크게 나타났지만 마감재료와 형태에 따라 차이를 보였다. 또, 대형교회의 음향적 결함을 보완하기 위해서는 건축의 형태, 재료는 물론, 전기음향설비의 보강이 중요하다고 하겠다.
