The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics of interior noise in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese subways. The octave-band noise levels, A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level ($L_{Aeq}$) and parameters extracted from interaural cross-correlation/autocorrelation functions (ACF/IACFs) were analyzed to evaluate the noise inside running train cars quantitatively and qualitatively. The average $L_{Aeq}$ was 72-83 dBA. The IACF/ACF parameters of the noise showed variations in their values, suggesting they are affected by the characteristics of the trains running, wheel-rail interaction, and cross-section of the tunnels.

휴대폰의 일반화와 이것의 음향변환기로 사용되는 초소형 스피커 (Micro-speaker) 수요의 증가에 따라 휴대폰의 다양한 기능 및 성능의 개발에 대한 초소형 스피커의 성능개선이 절실히 요구된다. 특히, 초소형 스피커에서 발생된 음의 명료도와 음의 방사효율에 관한 특성의 개선은 당면한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 초소형 스피커 전면에 진동판 보호를 위해 부착되어 있는 전면 덮개(Front Cover)를 스피커의 명료도와 효율에 관련된 음향적 기구로서 고려하여 일반 휴대폰에 사용되고 있는 초소형 스피커들을 대상으로 전면덮개에 가공된 기공의 면적에 따른 음파의 투과손실을 측정하였다. 또한, 전면덮개와 초소형 스피커 진동판 사이에 존재하는 체적과 전면 덮개의 기공에 대한 음향 임피던스(Acoustic Impedance)를 이론적인 방법으로 구하여 이에 따른 투과손실(Transmission Loss) 및 공명특성을 예측하고 이를 스피커들에 대한 투과손실 측정 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 초소형 스피커를 제조하는 기업들이 경험적인 방법을 벗어나, 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 제품설계를 수행하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

The present work describes the prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a ducted axial fan. The prediction method is comprised of time-marching free-wake method, acoustic analogy, and the Helmholtz-Kirchhoff BEM. The predicted sound signal of a rotor is similar to the experiment one. We assume that the rotor rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field around the rotor is incompressible and inviscid. Then, a time-marching free-wake method is used to model the fan and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. The newly developed Helmholtz-Kirchhoff BEM for thin body is used to calculate the sound field of the ducted fan. The ducted fan with 6 blades is analysed and the sound field around the duct is calculated.

In this study, it has been initiated to investigate the specific abnormal vibration signal that has been captured in the power equipment. Array Microphone can be used in order to detect the direction and the position of the noise source. It is possible to track the abnormal mechanical noise in the power plant by utilizing the program and the microphone array system developed from this research. Array microphone system can be operated as a constant monitoring system.

This paper presents a headphone system which has adopted two algorithm to increase sound clearness and to separate signal from noisy environment. In the field of adaptive signal processing, LMS algorithm which is a kind of steepest decent method, can be implemented with more simple calculation, so that we use it to eliminate unwanted noise elements for the proposed system. Futhermore we generate early echo using some delays, then mix it in signal. This process can increase the clearness of signal. In this paper, we prove that the proposed system can be implemented in real time. The proposed system is satisfied to subject assessment test base on MOS(Mean Opinion Score) of ITU-T.

A sonar dome is basically designed and installed to protect sonar array from shocks, sea wave slaps and floating matters. The acoustic wave passing through sonar dome, however, can be distorted in magnitude and phase. This paper presents a numerical method for predicting the steady-state sound pressure on the surface of transducer array in the sonar dome and typical results of sonar beam pattern affected by sonar dome. A beam tracing model with phase information and a multi-layered elastic boundary model are involved. A full three-dimensional sonar dome is modeled as a GRP acoustic window, a rubber coated steel baffle and a rubber coated steel hull. A transducer array is modeled as thick steel cylinder. There are some assumptions such as incidence of plane wave, specular reflection on boundary and directionality of transducer element.

The noise inside a naval vessel is very important in considering the need for hearing protection, improving the working environment and maintaining good communications for crews living on board a naval vessel. The indoor noise of a ship usually is specified by the A-weighted sound pressure level, but other evaluating parameters are required to reflect human senses more effectively. This paper uses additional noise indices related to room acoustics, such as NR(noise rating), NC(noise criterion), RC(room criterion), PSIL(preferred speech interference level) and loudness level to evaluate the noise inside cabins on a naval vessel. Using these psychological noise indices, allowable limit of noise level in cabins is suggested through psycho-acoustic evaluation for the noise in cabins.

In room acoustics, reverberation time (RT) is the most important and general factor that represents character of room or inner space. However, RT, especially in low frequency range, can have the different value according to the measuring points and methods. This study comprehends the cause of error occurring dominantly in low frequency range when RT is measured and examines that the each error of RT measured in the cabin and reverberation chamber having different properties, influences what extent on sound transmission loss (STL)

When fluid flows at high speed over an open cavity, large acousitc pressure is produced by fluid/structure interaction at the downstream edge of the cavity. The goal of this paper is suggestion of effective control method to suppress the noise generated from cavity and numerically simulation of active control. The cavity instability mechanism is simulated and a close-loop control algorithm is implemented. The effects of the actuator and some control function are discussed. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes to precisely simulate the interaction between flow and acoustic. The results show that noise is effectively suppressed with the control method suggested in this paper.

In this paper performance of the noise barrier which is 53 m long and 6m high, and is located between the high rise apartment and road, is studied by using experimental and analytic method. The insertion loss is measured by using the direct method in accordance with the ISO code, while theoretical prediction is based on Muradali and Fyfe's method (Applied Acoustics, Vol. 53, 49~75, 1998). In addition to the diffraction at the top of the barrier, the waves are reflected infinite times between the building and the barrier, which is equivalent to replacing the building by the infinite series of the image receiver points. In two-dimensional study, the prediction of the insertion loss results in significantly overestimated values compared with the measurement. However three-dimensional analysis shows reasonable agreements, where traffic noise is assumed as incoherent line source and the length of the source is larger than that of the barrier.
