피치 (pitch)는 주파수와 관련된 인간이 실제 느끼는 음의 높이로 라우드니스 (loudness), 음색 (timbre)과 함께 소리의 음질을 결정하는 중요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 이러한 피치는 음성 해석 및 분리를 위해 많은 연구가 이루어진 반면 소음 분석 및 음질 향상을 위한 방향으로의 연구는 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 기저막 (basilar membrane)의 위치에 따른 주파수 분리 이론인 위치이론 (place theory)을 기본으로 한 기존의 가상 피치 (virtual pitch) 분석 알고리즘을 소음에 적용하기 위해서 수정하고, 절러가지 소음에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서의 알고리즘은 소음의 주파수 특성에 의존한 방법이기 때문에, 토널 (tonal) 성분이 존재하는 소음의 적용에는 적합한 결과를 나타냈지만, 그 이외의 소음에 대해서는 정확한 분석이 어렵다. 따라서 기본 주파수 (fundamental frequency)와 이와 관련된 고조파음(harmonics)이 음질에 중요한 영향을 미치는 소음의 음질 해석 린 음질 향상을 위해 본 연구의 알고리즘에 의한 피치 분석과 기존의 음질 인자를 적용하면 보다 효율적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 이런 소음의 예로는 엔진의 부밍 소음이나 기어 whine 소음 등이다.

Noises from the helicopter rotor model are calculated numerically at various pitch angles. The aerodynamic data are calculated by using prescribed wake model and unsteady panel method. The distribution of aerodynamic loads on the blade surface are obtained from $0^{\circ}$ to $9^{\circ}$ pitch angles with equiangular increments of $1.5^{\circ}$. Although thickness noise is not related to the change of pitch angles, loading noise level increases about 3~4dBA every $1.5^{\circ}$ increment of pitch angle. The additive noise level shows sufficient value to perceive the loudness. From the result of directivity pattern the sound level at the lower region of the blade disc plane is higher than that of the upper region.

Traditionally, tire made a role of function, which is supporting vehicle load, making brake, transferring, traction etc. So, there are a lot of studying for the tire. especially, tire noise is one of the most important parameter in the car noise. this thesis shows the method how to reduce the tire noise by using the optimal pitch sequence. Because the optimal pitch sequence prevents tire from generating the pure tone while driving the car on the ground.

Pitch is a perception related to the subjective frequency that is one of the psychological aspects or attributes of tones. It is also an important factor to determine the sound quality together with loudness and timber. Although the study on pitch has been active in the field of speech communication, but its application to the product sound quality is not yet enough. In this study, the empirical data by Zwicker is made use in the modification of the currently available pitch extraction model based on the place theory. By applying this modified model to various sound samples composed of tonal or banded components, the applicability of the model is suggested. As a demonstration example, the algorithm is used for the sound quality analysis of a product noise having fundamental frequency and harmonics. The result shows that the pitch should be regarded as an important subjective cue in the sound quality analysis.

Pitch period detection algorithms are applied to various speech signal processing fields such as speech recognition, speaker identification, speech analysis and synthesis. Furthermore, many pitch detection algorithms of time and frequency domain have been studied until now. AMDF(average magnitude difference function) ,which is one of pitch period detection algorithms, chooses a time interval from the valley point to the valley point as the pitch period. AMDF has a fast computation capacity, but in selection of valley point to detect pitch period, complexity of the algorithm is increased. In order to apply pitch period detection algorithms to the real world, they have robust prosperities against generated noise in the subway environment etc. In this paper we proposed the modified AMDF algorithm which detects the global minimum valley point as the pitch period of speech signals and used speech signals of noisy environments as test signals.

Recently, as interest in air quality in vehicles increases, the use of fine dust detection sensors for air quality measurement is becoming common. An axial-flow fan is inserted in the fine dust sensor installed in the air conditioning system in the vehicle to prevent dust from sinking directly on the sensor. When the sensor operates, the flow noise caused by the rotation of the axial-flow fan acts as a major noise source of the fine dust sensor. flow noise is recognized as one of the product competitiveness of fine dust sensors. In this study, the noise was gradually reduced at the same flow rate by improving the flow performance of the small axial flow fan. First, a virtual fan performance tester consisting of about 20 million grids was developed to analyze the aerodynamic performance of the target small axial-flow fan. In addition, the flow field was simulated by using compressible Large Eddy Simulation for direct computation of flow noise as well as high-accurate prediction of flow rate. The validity of numerical method are confirmed through the comparison of predicted results with experimental ones. After the effects of pitch angle on flow performance were analyzed using the verified numerical method, the pitch angle was determined to maximize the flow rate. It was found that the flow rate was increased by 8.1 % and noise was reduced by 0.8 dBA when the axial-flow fan with the optimum pitch angle was used.

In this paper, a series of experiment is performed for a scaled hovering rotor in a semi-anechoic chamber and the results are compared to the noise spectra predicted by using Lowson's loading noise equation and FW-H equation. It was founded that the sound directivity pattern for both experiments and predictions are similar in their trend. Meanwhile the FW-H equation showed better agreement with experiments in the near-field noise spectra, but at the far-field the Lowson's equation performed better. The discrete noise are known to be proportional to the loading on the blades, which can be controlled by collective pitch angle of the blades. It was founded that the predicted spectra with FW-H equation come close to the measured noise spectra in low collective pitch, but in high collective pitch angles the Lowson's equation be more reliable.

본 논문에서는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 위해 가변율 half rate 음성 부호화기를 설계하였다. 유, 무성음과 묵음의 구분을 위해 본 논문에서는 프레임 에너지와 음성 파라메터들을 이용한 효과적인 voicing 결정 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 유성음을 위한 half rate 음성 부호화기는 저속에서 좋은 특성을 보이는 generalized AbS구조를 이용하였다. LPC 계수는 LSP 계수로 변환한 후 predictive 2-stage VQ를 통해서 양자화하며, 여기 신호는 음질저하를 최소화하며 복잡도를 감소시킨 shift 방식의 대수적 고정 코드북 구조를 사용하고, 적응코드북과 여기코드북의 이득은 VQ로 양자화 하였다. 무성음을 위한 부호화기는 대부분이 유성음을 위한 부호화기와 동일하지만, 무성음에서는 피치간 상관도가 매우 낮으므로 피치 보간 방법을 사용하지 않고 개루프로 피치 lag를 찾은 후 전체 프레임에 사용한다. 1 kb/s 부호화기는 묵음 구간과 주변소음 구간에 사용되며 이 구간의 신호를 피치 성분이 미약한 주변소음들로 제한하고 이에 최적인 부음성 부호화기를 설계하였다. 최종적으로 완성된 가변율 half rate 부호화기는 voice activity factor(VAF)가 0.47인 시험음성에서 약 2.6 kb/s의 평균 전송률을 보였다. 주관적 음질 평가의 일환으로 IS-96 표준 코덱인 가변율 8 kb/s QCELP와 A-B preference 시험을 실시하였다. 시험 결과 평균전송률이 약 2배인 가변율 8 kb/s QCELP 보다 우수한 음질 성능을 보였다.

This study suggests a suitable random transverse tining for reduction tire/road noise from concrete pavement. Through literature reviews, random transverse tining that can disperse the energy concentrated to the specific frequency was suggested using the LCG(linear congruential generators) algorithm. The spacing of tining from this study is applied to Daegu-Pohang express highway. For the purpose oi comparison, two other random tining sections were included that are research products from Chung-Ang university and Wisconsin DOT. In result of pass-by noise measurement by car, though designed section is superior to the others as noise reduction by reducing pitch noise, the effectiveness is not large. In case of traffic noise measurement, lower noise was observed at random transverse tining sections than uniformly transverse tining section, too. But there are seine differences between pass-by noise and traffic noise.
