In case of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room at Dam, due to its big volume and reflexible finishing material, since the noise of electricity-generation is amplifying, it influences the difficulty of mutual communication among the workers, also it is causing both mental and physical damages to those workers in the neighboring office. Accordingly, after presentation of the optimized renovation model of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room using the acoustic simulation, this Research has compared and evaluated them using the auralizational technique between the present condition of "before improvement" and the acoustic condition of "after improvement". As the result of psycho-acoustics experiment, as the acoustic conditions at both "before & after Improvement" were apparently compared, it appeared that there is a considerable amount of noise-reduction effect at psycho-acoustics. It is considered that such material could be utilized as the valuable data hereafter for the time when any construction and renovation of the hydraulic turbine dynamo room and other similar workshop.

Even though Waterpower Generation as pollution-free has its own merit of contribution by supply of good quality electricity, due to the noise made at the time of its operation, a normal mutual communication among the workers and technicians engaging at the hydraulic turbine dynamo room is almost impossible, and since those finishing materials had been used mainly by reflection material, it is actual situation that when working for maintenance in the hydraulic turbine dynamo room, as counterpart's voice vibrates, its working efficiency is difficult to ensure. On such view point, this Research has conducted Psycho-acoustics Experiment about voice Definition using Auralizational Technique, on the object for the hydraulic turbine dynamo room that improved its acoustic performance by computer simulation. As the result of Study, it was known that the clearness of sound with regard to voice information transmission was apparently improved in all items than before improvement. Therefore, it is considering that these results would be utilized usefully when renovation on the hydraulic turbine dynamo room in the future.

In case a middle school music room locating in Iksan City, this space had been finished its construction work with the indiscreet sound-absorbing materials despite the music lesson is taught thereat. Accordingly, when music lesson since it sounds aridly due to insufficiency of echo and sound-volume feeling in music appreciation or music performance sound, there is some difficulty in the music lesson. For the purpose to control the obstructive factors owing to such short Reverberation Time, it optimizes the acoustic factor using Acoustic Simulation after arrangement of Acoustic Design, it has conducted a Psycho-acoustics Experiment using the Auralizational Technique that can experience the Virtual Acoustic Field at its designing stage. As the result of investigation about the acoustic satisfaction on the relevant subject space and the satisfaction with regard to the pertinent each items, it was known that the valuation on acoustic performance was evidently improved at 'after-reformation' than 'before-reformation'. It is considered that such material could be utilized as the useful material that can improve the architectural acoustic factor when construction and renovation of any middle school music room in the future.

This paper adopts the psychoacoustical methodology to evaluate the acoustical qualities of rooms and describes some of the results of an attempt to develop such a test. In order to investigate the effect of hall response to subjects, a subjective experiment was performed in artificially simulated sound fields. Pairs of sounds having differences in duration/frequency were presented to a subject and the subject's responses were recorded. The stimuli were varied through an auralization system that simulates three different rooms. It was found that duration/frequency discrimination is influenced by the room conditions and that these discrimination procedures may form the basis for assessment of room acoustics.

Multipurpose Dam, it produces electric energy by converting the potential energy into kinetic energy utilizing its head and quantity of the water. However, in this process, since during the time when the turbine connected to the hydraulic turbine generator revolves, there occurs a ceaseless loud noise, and due to this condition, it is true state that those people who work at inside of the power plant are damaging as hard as they are unable to concentrate on their work. Not only this, because the hydro-electric power generator room that locates at middle section between the hydraulic turbine room and the office is very large space volume, also since it was constructed chiefly by the reflecting material, it is functioning of amplify the noise when operating the generator, the soundproof measure against this condition is necessitated. On such viewpoint, I have presented the problem point of the relevant Hydraulic turbine dynamo and Hydraulic turbine dynamo room, and after improve such problem point, this study has ever investigated the satisfying degree about the noise-reduction at before and after of the improvement of soundproof measure, using the Auralizational technique that can experience virtual acoustic field. It is considering that such result could be utilized usefully as the fundamental material hereafter for the acoustic performance of the hydro-electric power generator room in dam and when its construction.

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.

It is known that early reflections, their energy and delay times after the arrival of direct sound are important factors for speech intelligibility. In this basis, acoustical parameters like D50 and C80 had been proposed and are widely used for assessing the listening condition of rooms. These parameters are focused on the fraction of the early energy to the total, regardless of the spatial characteristics of the early reflections. This means that all the early reflections, arrived in certain time boundary. from front, behind, down and upside have the same impact on speech intelligibility. From the questionable simplicity, the influence of the direction of early reflections on speech intelligibility is examined in this study. A computer simulation speech intelligibility test, conducted for 22 university students, found that the reflection of vertical direction with method of the Paired comparison also the preference of 0.746 degree was visible an increase.

입체음향 생성을 위한 기존의 방법은 크게 바이노럴 녹음기법과 머리전달함수(HRTF)를 이용한 바이노럴 합성 기법으로 나눌 수 있다. 기존 2채널 더미헤드를 이용한 바이노럴 녹음기법과 바이노럴 합성기법은 표준 더미헤드를 사용함으로써 청취자 머리와의 오차로 정면 음상 정위의 어려움, "Front-back confusion", 이동 음 음상 정위 어려움 등의 문제로 실제 녹음 현장에서는 거의 사용되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 3채널 더미헤드 기법은 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있고, 특히, HRTF 합성 시 기존의 HRTF의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 HRTF를 구축할 수 있다. 따라서 바이노럴 합성 기법이 필요한 오락, 시뮬레이터, 음장 가청화 기술(Auralization) 프로그램 등 다양한 분야에서의 적용이 가능하다.

The diffuse sound field plays a crucial role in the perceptual quality of the auralization of virtual scenes. Diffuse Rain is a geometrical scattering model which enables the simulation of diffuse fields that is compatible with acoustic ray tracing, but is often computationally expensive. We develop a novel method that can reduce this cost by rendering the large number of Diffuse Rain data in Ambisonics format. The proposed method is evaluated in a shoebox scene simulation run on MATLAB, in reference to a more faithful method of rendering the Diffuse Rain data ray-by-ray. The EDC and IACC of the binaural output show that the simulated diffuse field can be rendered in Ambisonics with only minimal deviations in energy decay and spatial quality, even with 1^st-order Ambisonics.
