In this paper, a new method is proposed to estimate the sound pressure generated from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine. There are many noise sources as much as components in GDI engine. Among these components, fuel pump, fuel injector, fuel rail, pressure pump and intake/exhaust manifolds are major components generated from top of the engine. In order to estimate the contribution of these components to engine noise, the total sound pressure at the front of the engine is estimated by using airborne source quantification (ASQ) method. Airborne source quantification method requires the acoustic source volume velocity of each component. The volume velocity has been calculated by using the inverse method. The inverse method requires many tests and has ill-condition problem. This paper suggested a method to obtain volume velocity directly based on the direct measurement of sound intensity and particle velocity. The method is validated by using two known monopole sources installed at the anechoic chamber. Finally the proposed method is applied to the identification and contribution of noise sources caused by the GDI components of the test engine.

It is well known that the major noise source of Refrigerator is compressor, and due to the tendency of higher quality and more lighting of manufactured goods, the importance of prevention and reduction of a noise is increasing. In this paper, in order to prevent and reduce such a noise, sound pressure level and acoustic intensity are measured for compressor, and the result of these measurements, the noise radiation characteristics of compressor are reconized. And the experimental modal analysis is applied to the compressor to identify the noise sourcce. As the results of this study, we come to know that the spring, which is used to reduce vibration, does not reduce vibration efficiently, and compressor shell and its mounting system effect the noise radiation.

To predict the noise propagation from an elevated railway, sound radiation characteristics of elevated structure are measured by using the sound intensity method. In the base of the results, we propose the source model of elevated structure noise and the calculation model for elevated railway noise. Acoustic model of the former is modeled a row of single sources with directivity cos .theta. positioned in the center of a bogie and arranged in the lower side of slabs. Also prediction model is presented with rolling noise and elevated structure noise calculated by considering the power level of a source for one-third octave band, ground absorption and barrier deflection. Noise level unit patterns of a passing train is calculated based on this model and the results are compared with available field data.

The relation between the vibration induced from machinery and the radiated sound is complicated. Acoustic intensity method is widely used to obtain the accuracy of noise identification. In this study, as groundwork, the complex acoustic intensity method is performed to identify noise source and transmission path on different free space point source fields. From the numerical analysis for these simple fields, it is possible to predict the sound field characteristics which noise sources are related with each other, and certificate the validity of complex acoustic intensity. As an industrial application, the complex acoustic intensity method is applied a diesel engine to identify sound radiation characteristics in the near field.

Locations and emission characteristics of noise source of motor vehicles are great important factors to control the road traffic noise in effective ways. From results of this study on emission characteristics of engine and exhaust noise, we could find that every noise emission of different kind of vehicles has smilar pattern. The main emission locations of engine noise for the front of vehicle became the space between the road surface and bottom of the body and radiator grill, and for the side of vehicle became the space between the road surface and bottom nearby the front wheel. In case of exhaust noise of passenger-car and light truck, all the highest sound intensity level located near surface of road. But it is hard to conclude the height of noise source of driving vehicles with only results of this study. So further studies are needed to check the emission characteristics of noise.

Sound intensity distributions and energy flow in the near field of dipole source system and flat plate were investigated. First, the effectiveness of complex acoustic intensity was proved by using mathmatical and experimental methods in order to indentify noise sources and transmission paths of dipole field which is effected by the presence of neighbouring coherent sources. Next, analytical complex acoustic intensity method was discussed and the characteristics and energy flow of sound induced from the plate are clarified. The velocity of plate obtained from Finite Element Method was used for calculation of complex acoustic intensity in the near field. Finally experimental complex acoustic intensity method was applied to a passenger car. It can be seen that complex acoustic intensity method using both of active and reactive intensity is vital in devising a strategy for the identification and the reduction of vibration and noise.

To improve the sound insulation performance of laminated glass in high speed trains, it is beneficial to study the relationship between the characteristics of interlayer films and the acoustical performance. In addition to those of conventional PVB (polyvinyl butyral), the dynamic mechanical properties of PVB derivatives and PC (polycarbonate), which are candidates for interlayer films, were analyzed. We assumed that PVB-HEMU, which has a glass transition temperature ($T_g$) around room temperature and a large tan ${\delta}$ (loss tangent) value, can be made to damp efficiently. The damping capability was tested utilizing sound transmission loss measurement and simulation under the identical structure of laminated glass in high speed trains. We also built a database for analysis of relations between interlayer film characteristics and acoustical performance; this was followed by the determination of sound transmission loss using the intensity technique and FEA.
