Recently, there has been a growing interest in the environmental conservation. Accordingly, problems related to the audible noise of transformers have became more frequent. Therefore, it is urgent to find a fundamental solution about the audible noises in the substations. This paper described a sort of fundamental solution to solve the noise problem. As a fundamental solution, we suggested the proper audible noise level of transformers through noise prediction in the substation construction phase. And we applied the low noise transformers which have the predicted noise level. As the result, we are able to satisfy the noise regulation through measuring 43.6dBA at the boundary of substation. It is confirmed that the average error rate of prediction was within 3 percent.

This paper deals with analytical methods for low frequency and high frequency brake squeal noise on brake-rear caliper. In order to improve low frequency and high frequency squeal noise, we take survey caliper bracket shape parameters and housing shape parameters. Besides, using the combination of bracket and housing parameter were surveyed. Thus, using the combination of bracket Alt_05 and housing Alt_45 specifications, instability analysis and brake dynamo test were carried out. Based upon the two models, low and high frequency squeal noise of base model were improved. But, for 6.0 kHz frequency noise, which is not improved, it needs to additionally study on instability analysis and combination of the other brake components.

Low noise of air-conditioners is one of the most important issues because of the users' strong demand. The main source of noise in an air-conditioner is the compressor. Therefore, noise reduction in a compressor is quite significant as an element technology in the air-conditioner field. Recently, scroll compressors are widely used, because they feature low noise, due to less pulsation of gas pressure, than that of rotary compressors. For reduction of noise, the source of noise must be identified. This paper presents a detailed analysis to identify the noise source and shows the dominant factors of noise of the scroll compressor, which will make it possible to design a scroll compressor with low noise.

Noise radiated from pile driving operation is one of major sources of community noise pollution and thus its operation method is strictly restricted by regulations. Although the drilling method is now used been commonly used in urban areas because of its activity, the benefit of low noise decreases due to high working cost. In the present work, noise characteristics of pile driving operation are carried out. Based on the study result, a low-noise pile cap for driven piles is developed in order to satisfy both the noise level restriction and the economical efficiency. Effects of pile cap are investigated by a scale model experiment, which is focused on the variation of impact force and sound pressure level. The results show a good possibility of noise reduction by an appropriately designed pile cap.

In this paper, we analyzed the noise figure of cascode low noise amplifier (LNA) based on the measured data of 65nm CMOS devices. By using the channel thermal noise model of transistors, we expanded noise figure equation and divided the equation into three parts to see its contributions to noise figure. We also varied design parameters such as bias point, transistor gate width, and operating frequency. Our results show that different noise sources dominate at the different operating frequencies. One can easily find the noise transition frequency with device models in ahead of the practical design. Therefore, this research provides a low noise design approach for different operating frequencies.

In order to investigate low frequency swishing noise of wind turbines, acoustic source model using a singularity in circular motion is introduced to derive analytic solution of Lowson acoustic analogy in time domain. Results in time and frequency domains computed by the solution show apparent modulation of amplitude and frequency. The solution indicates that time histories of acoustic pressure at receiver points varied significantly according to receiver's directional location, even when the retarded time distributions are similar. However, the corresponding time-averaged spectra of sound pressure at the receiver locations where the retarded time distributions are almost same are not significantly different. It can be inferred from these results that the time-averaged sound pressure spectra which cannot take into account the detailed difference in the time-variation of wind turbine noise may not represent the sound quality of wind turbines due to its swishing. Finally, as an introduction of procedure to quantify low frequency swishing noise level, relative variation of overall sound pressure level is obtained using tonal low frequency noise model.

A high performance and low noise refrigerator fan has been developed in order to satisfy the customer's high quality needs, that is, luxury, big size and low noise. In this study, the characteristics of a new developed fan and a current fan was calculated and compared by using numerical simulation. Rotation of a fan makes cold air circulation inside a refrigerator. A numerical simulation of air flow shows distribution and local flow regime of a cold air flow circulation, and revealed a cause of low noise as well. Optimization of a duct shape also decreased noise level.

In operating test of medium speed diesel engine, the large noise over 110dBA would be occurred, and silencer should be needed to prevent the transmission of noise through exhaust duct. A near neighborhood of medium speed engine test shop, outbreak of low frequency noise was reported. From the result of noise measurement, it was found that the coupling of engine noise and air column between workshops was main cause of annoying low frequency noise. From this study, 3 ways of reformation methods were proposed; insertion of plenum chamber, placement of baffles, and alteration of direction of exhaust. As a result of these modification, low frequency noise was cancelled out.

In this study, low noise designs of a Savonius wind turbines are numerically investigated. From a previous study, it was found that the high harmonic components whose fundamental frequency is higher than the BPF were found to be dominant in noise spectrum of a Savonius wind turbine. On a basis of this observation, S-shaped blade tip is proposed as a low design factors that decrease wind turbine noise by inducing phase differences in vortex shedding. The conventional Savonius and S-shaped turbines are investigated using Hybrid CAA method where flow field around the turbine are computed using CFD techniques and the radiated noise are predicted by applying acoustic analogy to the computed flow data. Noise reductions by these design factors are confirmed by comparing the predicted noise levels from these turbines.

The performance of communication systems should be tested against a set of requirements. To this end, noise generation systems are used to generate noise signals with specified characteristics. In recent study, noise generation system using DCT outperforms the conventional noise generation system when a noise model requires complicated PSD(Power Spectral Density) specifications. In this paper low area/power structures of non-DCT block in DCT-based noise generation system are proposed. Simulation results show that the low area structure results in area reduction by 61-64% and the low power structure achieves power reduction by 88-89% except DCT blocks.
