서양음악의 음향학적인 측면에서의 연구는 오랜 기간 동안 진행되어왔다. 이를 통해 콘서트홀의 음향학적 특성을 평가할 수 있는 객관적 지표들을 제시할 수 있었다. 하지만 국악에 있어서는 공연장에 대한 음향학적인 지표가 공식화된 것이 없고, 게다가 지표를 찾기 위한 충분한 국악전용 공연장의 수가 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 국립국악원 예악당의 모델을 기초로 한 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해서 얻어진 가상 국악공연장을 바탕으로 RT, Warmth, IACC, ITDG 등의 4가지 지표를 가지고 각기 다양한 시료를 제작하여 청취실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 서양음악과는 다른 경향의 RT, Warmth 선호도를 추출할 수 있었다.

This paper investigates stage acoustics in concert halls for ensemble performance in terms of stage support parameters. A concert hall with large stage area was selected. Objective measurements were carried out according to Gade's methods for investigating stage support (ST1). The sound field on the stage was evaluated using stage and audience acoustical parameters. According to the positions at stage, different acoustical characteristics were found. Higher ST1 and lower $IACC_{E3}$ were measured near side and rear stage walls. In case of conductor/soloist vs. orchestra player, objective measurement of acoustical parameters shows that early sound fields depend on the source-receiver distance but late sound fields depend on the location of side and rear walls. In addition, in-situ evaluation of the trio instrumentalists was carried out. Results show that ensemble is favored by higher early reflection of sounds and sound diffusion affecting ‘blending’ of their performance.

The theory of subjective preference with temporal and spatial factors which include sound signals arriving at both ears is described. Then, auditory evoked potentials which may relate to a primitive subjective response namely subjective preference are discussed. According to such fundamental phenomena, a workable model of human auditory-brain system is proposed. For eample, important subjective attributes, such as loudness, coloration, threshold of preception of a reflection and echo distrubance as well as subjective preference in relation to the initial time delay gap between the direct sound and the first reflection, and the subsequent reverberation time are well described by the autocorrelation function of source signals. Speech clarity, subjective diffuseness as well as subjective preference are related to the magnitude of inter-aural crosscorrelation function (IACC). Even the caktail party effects may be eplained by spatialization of human brain, i.e., independence of temporal and spatial factors.

국악의 대중적 공연에 적합한 공연장에 대하여는 아직 그 주관적 객관적 기준이 설립되어 있지 않다. 현재 국립국악원에 있는 예악당은 국악을 위한 대중적 공연장의 기준이 되어야 하나 국악인들과 국악관계자들의 사이에서 국악의 공연에 적합하지 않은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국립국악원의 예악당을, Maximum Length Sequence, 무지향성스피커, dummy head 등을 이용하여 여러 가지 중요한 객관적 지표인 잔향시간, IACC, Initial-time-delay gap등을 측정하고 한 편으로는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의한 객관적 지표의 추출을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 그리고, 이를 토대로 예악당의 음향특성을 개선방향과 국악에 대한 주관적 객관적 지표의 설정 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Floor impact noises in apartment buildings have been investigated as they are most annoying in living environment. Several experiments were undertaken to compare perceived noisiness of floor impact noises generated by bang and tapping machine along with children's jumping and running. Results show that bang noise is more annoying than tapping noise and floor impact noise generated by children is less annoying than the noise generated by machine. The floor impact noise generated by children's jumping and running corresponds well with the bang-machine noise in terms of loudness, unbiased annoyance, ${\Phi}$$\_$0/ and IACC. The noise generated by children is somewhat different from machine noise; in spatial impression the real noise is similar to tapping-machine noise but is less annoying that the machine noises.

The purpose of this study is to make clear that the relationship between the directional properties of late arriving sound and listener envelopment (LEV). Psycho-acoustical experiments are performed with an objective measure of inter-aural cross-correlation(IACC) in order In predict whether LEV is perceived equally in two kinds of sound fields with horizontal or vertical component of late arriving sound. It is found that LEV is affected by not horizontal component of late arriving sound but also vertical one.

콘서트 홀 등의 음향 측정을 측정하는 데 있어 다채널 마이크로폰을 이용하여 그 공간의 반사음 패턴을 파악하는 기술이 널리 이용되고 있다. 이 기법은 그 공간 특유의 반사음의 입사 시간과 방향을 측정할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 충격응답(Impulse response)의 측정을 기반으로 하므로 기존에 사용되고 있는 모든 모노성의 음향 특성의 측정에도 이용할 수 있다. 그러나 LEF나 IACC등의 다차원의 음향 특성의 측정을 위해서는 양지향성 마이크로폰이나 더미헤드 등을 이용한 측정을 별도로 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다채널 마이크로폰으로 구한 방향성 충격응답으로부터 각각의 반사음들의 특성을 구하고 그 결과에 양지향성 마이크로폰의 지향특성을 적용하여 LEF를 얻어내도록 하였다. 제안하는 기법의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 기존의 무지향성 및 양지향성 마이크로폰을 이용하여 구한 결과와 비교, 분석하였다

Floor impact noise has been evaluated by investigating the temporal and spectral characteristics of the noise. The noises generated by different impactors were analyzed to find out whether there is any correlation with the factors of ACF /IACF (Autocorrelation Function/Inter-aural Cross-correlation Function) [1] and Zwicker parameters [2]. Experiments were undertaken to compare the objective and subjective parameters of the floor impact noises generated by a bang/tapping machine, a rubber ball [3], and a walker. As a result, it was found that $\phi$ (0) and IACC extracted from ACF/IACF, and Loudness, Unbiased Annoyance from Zwicker parameters showed high correlation with subjective evaluations of loudness concerning floor impact noises. In addition, it was revealed that jumping is similar to the ball.

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.

Prior to proposing appropriate standard for subway station platform, this study conducted field measurements to examine characteristics of room acoustics on platform of two subway stations. As a result of analyzing the longitudinal length of the platform, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) decreased (maximum difference : 14 dB), Reverberation Time (RT) tended to increase (maximum difference of 0.8 s ~ 1.5 s), and C50 and D50 were decreased (maximum difference: 5.9 dB ~ 9.1 dB and 31.8 % ~ 37.6 %, respectively) as measurement positions moved away from the sound source. The Interaural Cross-correlation Coefficient (IACC) did not show clear tendency, but it was lower than 0.3 in entire points. It is judged that the subway platform has non-uniform sound field characteristics due to various combinations of direct and reflective sound even though it is finished with a strong reflective material.This indicates that the room acoustic characteristics of the near and far sound field are clearly expressed depending on the source-receiver distances in the subway platform having a long flat shape with a low height compared to the length.Therefore, detailed architectural and electric acoustic design based on the characteristics of each location of speaker and sound receiver in the platform is required for an acoustic design with clear sound information at all positions of the platform.
