According to the advanced study, Increase of ceiling air space could cause increase of floor impact sound by air-spring effect. So in this research, we studied the increase of floor impact sound caused by ceiling air space in apartment buildings. At first, we evaluated the change of floor impact noise in the condition of with or without ceiling air-space. And then we installed perforated ceiling systems and glass wool at ceiling area. we expected that perforated ceiling systems could prevent air-spring effect in ceiling space. As a result, ceiling air space caused increasement of floor heavy impact noise about 2~4dB. But perforated ceiling & sound-absorbing materials system could give us reduction of heavy floor impact noise about 3dB. So this systems could be a good alternative to obey national regulations, because it can reduce heavy impact noise additional to floating floor systems.

This paper reports on an improved piezoelectric microspeaker with a high sound pressure level of 90 dB, a total harmonic distortion of less than 15%, and coherence higher than 0.9. The fabricated Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$ (PZT) microspeakers have a thickness of only 1 mm including the speaker frame and an active area of 18 mm${\times}$20 mm. To achieve higher sound pressure and lower distortion, the PZT piezoelectric microspeaker has a well-designed speaker frame and a piezoelectric diaphragm consisting of a tilted PZT membrane and silicone buffer layer. From the simulation and measurement results, we confirmed that the silicon buffer layer can lower the first resonant frequency, which enhances the microspeaker's sound pressure at a low frequency range and can also reduce useless distortion generated by the harmonics. The fabricated PZT piezoelectric microspeakers are implemented on a multichannel speaker array system for personal acoustical space generation. The output sound pressure at a 30 cm distance away from the center of the speaker line array is 15 dB higher than the sound pressure at the neighboring region 30 degrees from the vertical axis.

This study investigates how perception of easy sentences varies with prosody pattern, sound intensity, and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) in young adults with normal hearing who were in their 20's. The results showed that the presence of proper prosody pattern in the sentences increased correct perception rate of the target sentences, and that the lower the intensity and SNR, the lower the sentence perception scores. The results also showed that SNR had a greater effect on the sentence perception scores than sound intensity. There was a significant decrease of perception scores starting at the level of 15 dB and +3 SNR for the sentences with prosody pattern, while starting at the level of 18 dB and +6 SNR for the sentences without prosody pattern, ending up with a very poor perception score as sound intensity and SNR gets lower. There was a significant difference in the perception score of the sentences with prosody pattern between 20 year-old group and 21 year or older group in several listening conditions of sound intensity and SNR.

파라메트릭 어레이(parametric array)는 매질의 비선형성을 이용하여 고지향성 저주파를 발생시키는 현상이다. 발생된 저주파는 직접 발생된 1차 음파에 비해 음압이 상대적으로 매우 작다. 따라서 강력한 1차 음파를 지향성 있게 발생시킬 수 있는 트랜스듀서가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 파라메트릭 어레이를 위한 음원으로써 다공진 트랜스듀서의 설계, 제작, 시험평가에 대해 연구하였다. 유닛 트랜스듀서 및 배열 트랜스듀서의 설계를 해석 모델에 근거하여 수행하였으며, 이 과정을 반복하여 최적의 트랜스듀서를 제작하였다. 제작된 배열 트랜스듀서는 6.3 m 거리에서 각각 189 dB, 190 dB의 1차 음파를 확인하였으며, 파라메트릭 어레이 현상을 이용하여 136 dB의 차주파수음 발생을 확인하였다. 차주파수음은 $12{\times}18{\times}10m$크기의 수조에서 15 kHz, $8^{\circ}$ half power beamwidth의 고지향성 저주파 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

This study was performed to construct sound performance DB of royal palace buildings and to examine the special quality more scientifically. Research target of royal palace were Changdeokgung and Gyeongbokgung. Sound insulation performance between the adjacent room and facade, room acoustics of Pyeonjeon and Chimjeon which is representative building in royal palace were examined through field measurement. Measured values of RT($T_{mf}$) at Pyeonjeon were 0.78 sec. and 1.03 sec. in Seonjeongjoen and Sajeongjoen, respectively. The RTs of both Pyeonjeon buildings were estimated suitable for speech and lecture considering their volume. The RT($T_{mf}$)s at Chimjeon were measured in range of 0.29~0.55 sec. This meant that the acoustic energy in rooms was decreased by sound transmission through mulberry paper(Hanji) of traditional windows and doors. As a sound insulation performance, the single-number quantities($D_{ls,2m,nT,w}$) of the building facades in Pyeonjeon and Chimjeon were measured 4~20 dB. Also the single-number quantities($D_{p,w}$) between the adjacent rooms in Chimjeon were measured 3~18 dB. Sound insulation performance of traditional building elements such as window and door depended strongly on their layers and area.

Panning is the way in which to realize a spatial sound in MIDI by moving sound images by the loudness of each channel. However, there is a limitation for the natural spatial sound. The HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) has been widely known as one of the ways to realize spatial sound using the two channels, but it needs much processing power. It is very hard to implement a real time processing structure. In this paper, we propose an improved 3D sound model for the spatial sound location by changing the acoustic parameters. We could get a good result from the experiment with MIDI Pan and our Model.

Recently, the interest on the comfortable dwelling environment is increasing and the effort to solve the problem of exterior noise was tried. The propose of this study is to suggest the design of balcony window in apartment and to evaluate the sound insulation of it. So, we designed five types of balcony window which were considered not only sound insulation but ventilation. The sound reduction index of window was evaluated by the measurement in mock-up room. The results showed that case 2 improved about 6 dB in the weighted apparent sound reduction index than case 1, and case 3 reduced about $39 \%$ in construction cost than case 4.

전통적인 음성 향상 방법은 잘못된 잡음의 추정에 따라 남아있는 잡음이 발생하여 음성 스펙트럼을 왜곡하거나 음성 프레임을 찾지 못하여 음성 인식 성능을 저하시키는 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 음성 에너지 분포 처리와 음성 에너지 파라미터를 융합한 음성 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 음성 에너지를 최대화시켜 잡음의 영향을 적게 받는 특성을 이용하였다. 또한, 음성 신호의 특징 파라미터 중에서 작은 값을 가지는 로그에너지 특징의 구간에서는 큰 에너지를 가지는 구간에 비해 상대적으로 로그에너지 값을 더 많이 키워서 잡음이 포함한 음성신호의 로그에너지 특징의 크기와 비슷하게 하여 훈련과 인식 환경의 불일치를 융합으로 인해 줄여준다. 인식 실험 결과 기존 방법에 비해 향상된 인식 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, car 잡음 환경의 음성 구간 적중률은 낮은 SNR구간인 0dB과 5dB에서는 97.1%와 97.3%의 정확도를 보였으며, 높은 SNR구간인 10dB와 15dB에서는 98.3%, 98.6%의 정확도를 보였다.

Based on the anthropometric data of Korea male adults, a head and torso simulator(HATS) is constructed to measure its head related transfer functions (HRTFs) which can be used for three dimensional (3-D) sound localization. The HRTFs binaural impulse responses, are measured in an anechoic chamber using a burst maximum length sequence (MLS) signal of 65,535 samples and 32,768 samples acquisition at the sampling rate of 75.47kHz. Also measured are the impulse responses of a driving loudspeaker and some headphones for sound reproduction to get the exact HRTF of the HATS-alone. Through a post-processing procedure, the impulse-version HRTFs at the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, which have filter lengths of 512 points, are finally obtained. As an application of the measured HRTFs, a 3-D sound processor for headphone reproduction has been developed. The signal intervals to be processed can be selected and each interval is manipulated to have its diretionality and distance information by using corresponding HRTF and energy control.
