The present study investigated the sounds at 13 points in the four districts in Cheongju including commercial district, historic district, urban walking district and university campus in order to realize the soundscape of the city. In order to this, questionnaire survey was conducted to 65 citizens and 5 acoustic experts on sites to find both sound loudness and annoyance of each district. At the same time, information about loud, unpleasant, preferred and representative sound of each district were acquired by selecting three from 35 sounds which consist of natural, artificial and machinery sounds. As a result, it was found that there is a very close correlation between sound loudness and annoyance. Through the analysis of sounds at each district, it was revealed that machinery sounds dominate in commercial area as figure sound, It was also shown that artificial and natural sounds dominate in historic area, artificial sounds in both urban area and university campus respectively. Laboratory listening tests were undertaken to 20 people using recorded sounds and video captured on site. The results denote that machinery and artificial sounds are regarded as most loud, machinery sounds as most unpleasant, natural and artificial sounds as most pleasant which shows similar tendency of on-site evaluation.

Social noise survey on multiple residential noises such as nut impact, air-borne, bathroom, drainage and traffic noises was conducted to investigate major variables affecting the overall satisfaction for noise environment The effect of individual noise perception on the evaluation of the overall noise environment was investigated through a questionnaire survey on annoyance, disturbance and noise sensitivity. Auditory experiments was also undertaken to determine noise level according to the percent of satisfaction for individual noise source. As a result of survey, it was found that satisfaction for floor impact noise most greatly affects the overall satisfaction for noise environment and annoyance most greatly affects the satisfaction for individual noise sources. Result of auditory experiment showed that the noise level of floor impact noise by bang machine, airborne, drainage and traffic noise corresponding to 50% satisfaction is 44dB($L_{i,Fmax,AW}$) and 40dBA, respectively.

This study aims to select the proper vocabularies for evaluation about the noise emission from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. As a result of surveying overlapping vocabularies and scores of them for each sound sources, 'annoying', 'noisy', 'dynamic' and 'strident' are main unpleasant vocabularies to the noise from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. And vocabularies such as 'dynamic', 'sudden', 'loudness', 'noisy' are classified into the first factor by analysis.

Auditory experiments based on subjective responses were undertaken for the standard heavy and light weight impact noise. Relations between noise levels and subjective evaluations were also investigated. As a result, it was shown that the noise class was rated with the range of sensible satisfaction by investigating the various social responses for the floor impact noise. The rate classification for the heavy weight impact noise is suggested as a design guide for concrete slabs which satisfy the residents' requirements in various sound insulation capacities of multistory residential buildings.

Now days, as the consideration of sound environment is getting important, method of physical measurement such as reverberation time and sound pressure level becomes common. However, such method cant include subjective sensation such as personal emotion and feeling, evaluation. So there is a limitation to make the most optimized sound environment. Therefore, in the present experiment, I improve big indoor gymnasium that has sound defect because of too long reverberation time. After that, I conduct the auditory sense evaluation of human psychological response. From the experiment, I will make research into sound satisfaction rate about the subject space and response of each item. As well as, I will present the result as basic database of sound environment improvement experiment of indoor gymnasium.

제품과 사용자간에 필연적으로 존재하는 소리를 쾌적하게 하기 위한 연구로서 자연음 6종과 소음 6종의 음압(dB)이 비슷하도록 조절하였을 때 소리의 어떠한 물리적 특성이 긍/부정감성에 주된 영향을 미치는지를 파악하기 위하여 남/녀 각각 35명씩의 대학생들에게 7점척도의 8가지 형용사 쌍을 이용한 음질평가 청감실험을 한 결과 물소리를 포함한 자연음은 소음보다 대체로 긍정감성이 높게 평가되었고 긍정감성과 심리음향인자와의 상관성은 Loudness의 -0.37을 비롯하여 "-"상관성을, Unbiased annoyance와 심리음향인자들과의 상관성은 Loudness의 0.92를 비롯한 "+" 상관성을 각각 갖었으며 여자는 남자보다 긍/부정감성에 더욱 예민하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다.

The present study examined the effects of the complexity of the 3D models on the results of acoustic simulation which is the predominant tool of the acoustical design of buildings. Also, the effects of the 3D model on the auralized sounds were investigated. In order to carry out the study, four 3D models with different levels of complexity were introduced for a real auditorium which have different numbers of surfaces in the persuit of the guidance of odeon room acoustic software. The set-up of models was also based on the level of transition order of the program. And the acoustic experiments were performed measuring room acoustic parameters including SPL, RT, C80, D50. Acoustic computer simulations were performed using four different models. Then, the results of the computer modeling were compared with the measured acoustical parameters. In addition, sound sources were recorded in the field and auralized sounds were made in convolution with the impulse source made from acoustic modeling. Then, subjective tests were undertaken using auralized sounds. As the results, it was found that the result of the acoustic simulation were closer to the real room acoustic properties when 3D model was more particularly made. For the subjective test, the listening materials were acknowledged as similar with the real sound source when more complex 3D model was used. Then, it could be concluded that the complexity of the 3D model affects the results of the acoustic modeling as well as subjective tests.

산업구조의 급속한 발전과 공업화는 사회구조의 변화 및 대도시로의 인구집 중, 고밀도화, 교통량의 증가를 초래하여 이로부터 기인한 도시지역의 환경 오염 문제는 쾌적한 인간생활을 위협하는 단계에까지 이르렀다. 그중에서 소 음에 관한 문제도 대기 및 수질의 오염과 동시에 도시생활 환경에 많은 영 향을 미치게 되었다. 도시 소음의 주 원인은 주로 도로교통소음이며 이는 기 하급수적으로 늘어가는 자동차의 양에 의해 더욱 심해지고 있다. 따라서 현 재 우리나라에서도 주거지역 및 준주거지역 등의 지역별 소음도 규제 및 신 설되는 공동주택 단지에서의 소음레벨규제등이 있긴 하나 이들은 상당히 소 극적이며 미온적일 뿐 아니라 실제 거주하는 주민들의 반응과는 상당한 차 이를 보이고 있으며 더욱이 주민의 소음에 대한 주관적 반응을 적절히 표현 할 수 있는 지표마저 명확하지 않은 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 고찰에서 는 피험자들의 주관적 반응을 실험할 때 발생하는 변수요인들을 통제 할 수 있는 실험 실시행 청감실험을 실시하기에 앞서 대상지역의 도로교통소음을 여러가지 평가척도에 의해 평가한 후 그 현장에서 이 소음에 노출된 피험자 들의 반응을 파악하여 청취자들이 인지하는 소음레벨을 적절히 평가하는 지 표를 찾고자 한다.

As the waterpower generation plant, the subject of this Study, is a facility that produces plenty of electricity corresponds to $196{\sim}240GWh$ annually, and in its generation process it creates a loud noise when the turbine related to the hydraulic turbine dynamo revolves, and since such loud noise must be transmitted to the dynamo room and amplified, it is effecting a lot of influences to the adjacent office and space. In such viewpoint, this Research, based on the soundproof measure presented at the preceding research, has attempted to evaluate about the effect of noise-reduction countermeasure against the hydraulic turbine dynamo using Auralizational Technique through Psycho-Acoustics Experiment. It deems that such result could be applied hereafter as the useful material when setting up a soundproof countermeasure for the hydraulic turbine dynamo room in dam.

A laboratory study on low frequency noise assessment was carried out to determine the acceptability limits in the frequency range between 20 and 200 Hz. The acceptability limits were tested in the anechoic chamber to minimize the background noise. A total of 30 test subjects, who were aged between 19 to 33 years, participated in this study. They were exposed to various stimuli for about 1 hour by supra-aural earphone. The experiment consisted of two listening sessions; hearing threshold and the acceptability limits session. The results showed that the trend of the acceptability limits curve was approximately equal to C-weighting curve which had been found to be superior to A-weighting curve in low frequency noise assessment.
