This paper introduces an experimental study for the noise characteristics and reduction of a ventilating fan system. For the purpose of noise reduction of it, an absorptive duct silencer filled with a glass fiber has been conventionally utilized. However, a glass fiber has some disadvantages like hygiene and secondary pollution problems. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper, a perforated duct silencer has been applied to the ventilating fan system. For the designing of a perforated duct silencer, the transmission losses for various perforated panel systems are measured and compared with their sound absorption performances.

Acoustic performance of splitter silencers was investigated by using 3-dimensional commercial software and experiments. Flow resistivity of sound absorbing material was indirectly estimated by using an impedance tube setup and a curve fitting method. In addition the acoustic impedance of perforated plate was determined by an empirical formulation. Such properties have been used as input parameters in the commercial software. The prediction for a splitter silencer with 1000 mm length was compared with the experimental result. The numerical method is then applied to identify the effects of number of splitters, length of splitters, absorptive material density, and porosity of a perforated plate on the performance of the splitter silencers. As the number and length of splitter increases, the acoustic performance significantly increases. Although the increase of density of absorptive material also increase the acoustic performance, a change in the density over a certain level hardly affect it. The increase of porosity will enhance the performance especially at higher frequencies.

Absorption silencer is one of the most noise reduction devices and covered a wide range of noise matters. On account of the acoustical properties of absorption silencers depend on variable factor and complex matters, the design of silencers couldn't to be exact in various fields. In this study, we predicted the acoustical properties of absorptive silencers based on measured data and assumed how the acoustical properties is changed following baffle thickness, variable baffle form and open area. Also we recorded the pressure drop at each other. So it may a great help to engineer who install and design a silencer in various fields.

This paper is to suggest the test method of sound attenuation caused by absorptive duct silencer using sound intensity method in field. In order to estimate sound attenuation, sound power being radiated from sound power source and duct exhaust terminal was measured by the sound pressure method and sound intensity method in semianechoic and common room. The results of the measured sound attenuation values by sound intensity method are more similar to those of theoretical calculation than those by the sound pressure method. In addition, sound intensity method is much less influenced by sound field condition or continuous background noise than the sound pressure method.

Based on ISO 7235, an experimental setup to measure the acoustic performance of splitter type dissipative silencers was fabricated. The length of each duct, sound source, microphone locations, modal filter, and anechoic termination were considered in the design of this setup. The modal filter is a particularly important factor because it affects the limit of measurement. The effects of number of splitters, absorptive material density, perforate plate, and media on the noise reduction of the sample silencers were experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the insertion loss of a silencer with media, high perforate opening, and higher number of splitters increases especially at higher frequencies.
