The auditory experiments based on subjective responses were undertaken for the standard heavy and light weight impact noise and rubber ball impact noise, jumping noise to investigate relations between floor Impact noise levels and subjective responses and to establish the upper/lower limits of floor impact noises. As a result, it was shown that relations between floor Impact noise levels and subjective responses was linear and the lower limit of heavy-weight impact noise was L/sub i, Fmax, AW/=46㏈ and the lower limit of light-weight impact noise was L'/sub n,AW/=56㏈. Finally the 3 subjective classes of floor impact noises were established.

기존의 타이어를 사용한 중량충격음에 대한 차음성능 평가방법의 타당성을 살펴보기 위하여 청감실험에 의한 감성적 반응결과와 L등급 및 Leq에 의한 평가 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 동일한 바닥충격원에 대한 분석결과 L등급평가 보다 Leq에 의한 평가가 청감실험의 반응에 잘 대응하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Zwicker parameters 중 Loudness와 Unbiased Annoyance는 청감실험과 가장 유사한 경향을 보였다.

This study deals with a subjective assessment to investigate the preferred acoustic conditions and determine the important acoustical parameters in concert halls. A subjective test was carried out using dummy head recorded sounds made in actual halls in Australia (referred to as Hall A and Hall B) to evaluate the acoustic performance of two halls. The results of subjective tests were then correlated with measured acoustical parameters to investigate the significant determinants for the preference judgements. The listeners show a stronger Preference for seats in the Hall B than those in the Hall A. The low preferences for seats in the Hall A are in agreement with live performance ratings assessed by musicians. It is found that the sound level is the most significant acoustical parameter for evaluating the overall acoustic preference in the two halls.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the quantitative dose-response relationship between the noise emitted in the platform of subway station and the public response. The noise measured in the platform of subway station was used for a jury test. In order to find the factors which influence annoyance response due to the platform noise, jurors were examined for the difference of the annoying response, interrelation of sound quality parameter and annoyance response. The platform noise level was 77.2$\sim$83.9 dBA and the most of passengers at the platform were highly annoyed. And screen door contributes to annoyance reduction of platform noise. The results from analyzing sound quality parameters shows that loudness and annoyance response have a high correlation coefficient.

The present article has the purpose of evaluating subjective response of Won Buddhism sanctums by psychoacoustics experiment. Furthermore, basing on this experiment, the present article makes a suggestion of a physical sound-evaluating index. To achieve the purpose, I conducted an psychoacoustics experiment at 6 sanctuaries out of the representing 40 sanctuaries of Won Buddhism sanctums, which size is bigger than 1,000 m$^3$. I made a reanalysis with 3 Buddhist sanctums out of the subjects of psychoacoustics experiment which are generally rated superior. From the result, I can make each evaluation type into two types, sound clarity and space sense of sound. Also, I make various suggestions of physical parameter, with which I can evaluate the proper sound condition for Won Buddhism sanctums.

This study is a research that evaluates and analyzes on the subjective reaction of Won buddhism small sanctum through psychoacoustics experiment. For doing it, after choosing of 5 Won buddhism small sanctums of which its building volume at $400m^{3}{\sim}650m^{3}$, a psychoacoustics experiment has been conducted. Based on those A, B, C, E temple-halls which appeared as higher than 'average' in the result of subjective reaction evaluation of the Won buddhism small sanctum through psychoacoustics experiment, it could be classified as the conclusion of the factor analysis: the first factor is 'space sense of sound', the second factor is 'intimacy-feeling with sound' and the third factor is 'clearness of sound', respectively.

최근 사무환경에서 컴퓨터 사용시간이 급증함에 따라 컴퓨터 소음의 불쾌감으로 인한 저소음형 컴퓨터에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 효율적인 소음조절을 위하여 컴퓨터 소음에 대한 실태 조사를 위하여 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 물리적 측정치와 더불어 심리음향학적 각종 파라메타를 계산하였다. 또한 일반적 업무 Task가 주어진 상태에서 컴퓨터 소음에 대한 근무자의 상하한계치 설정을 위한 청감실험을 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과, 가장 시끄럽게 인식되는 소음은 팬소음(사용자 컴퓨터)과 키보드 사용음(타인 컴퓨터)으로 나타났으며, 약 55%의 사용자들이 보통 컴퓨터 소음에 대해 시끄럽게 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 현재 사용중인 컴퓨터의 소음에 대해 사용자의 약 20% 정도만이 조용하게 느끼며, 컴퓨터 소음이 업무효율을 떨어뜨린다는 응답도 약 35%로 나타났다. 팬소음, CD-Rom 구동음, HDD 작동음에 대해 청감실험을 실시한 결과, 각 소음의 상하한치는 각각 31∼51dB(A), 34∼54dB(A), 34∼58dB(A)로 나타났다.

Social noise survey and auditory experiment on residential noises such as floor impact, air-borne, bathroom, drainage and traffic noises were conducted to classily a noise insulation Performance in apartment building. The survey results showed that annoyance among subjective responses to residential noises was most greatly affecting to satisfaction with noises. In the survey, boundary limit between satisfaction and dissatisfaction was also determined. Auditory experiments was also undertaken to determine noise insulation performance according to the percent of satisfaction for individual noise source. Result of auditory experiment showed that the noise insulation performance for floor impact, airborne, drainage and traffic noise corresponding to 40 % satisfaction is 49 dB (L$_{i,Fmax,AW}$), 48 dB (R'w), N-41, and N-40, respectively. Finally, classes of noise insulation performance in apartment building were proposed according to satisfaction with noises

The purpose of this study is to propose the proper vocabularies for evaluating H.D TV set fan noise in residential condition. To achieve this goal, psycho-acoustic experiments were carried out with TV set fan noise modulated at specific frequency band. finally, a correlation analysis between vocabularies, and a factor analysis of psycho-acoustical responses were conducted. As a result of this study, followings are suggested. Analyzing the psycho-acoustical response corresponding to the various sound level, the higher the sound levels, the higher the response values were. It is estimated that the sound level determined psycho-acoustical responses. On the degree of response to fan noise, the initial level of negative feeling is located on $35{\sim}40$ dB(A). The factor of evaluating H.D. TV set fan noise has induced three the appropriate korean adjectives; Irritate, Monotonous, stuffy and dryness. The result of this study may be used to evaluate the acoustic threshold level for indoor noise or a basis for specifying the desired acoustic environment of dwellings.
