In this paper, we propose a design method of Active Noise Control (ANC) that reduces perceived level of the residual noise. A FELMS (Filtered-E Least Mean Squares) algorithm is used for the ANC system and the NC (noise criteria) is applied as an evaluation criterion of the residual noise. With this structure, we present the allowable spectral shape of the noise shaping filter that minimizes the NC index within the effective operating frequency band of the ANC, and showed that the filter satisfying in the criterion has a lower NC value than the psychoacoustic-based filter used in the previous studies.

There are various types of noise around us such as road traffic noise, aircraft noise and floor impact sound, equipment noise etc. Recently researches on the criteria to evaluate the noises have been progressed, however, researches on the noise criteria and evaluation method for the diffuser noise of HVAC are insufficient. dB(A) and NC values represented in ASHRAE guide book are applied as a noise criteria for diffuser noise, which have some problems like that the values between dB(A) and NC have deviation even if the sound is same one. Therefore, the evaluation method should be considered and proposed based on the subjective responses. From these reasons, this study aimed to analyze the evaluation factors for the diffuser noise of HVAC reflected on the subjective responses by surveying vocabularies and grouping them with factor analysis.

The diffuser noise of HVAC(heating ventilating and air-conditioning) uses dB(A) or NC as a indoor noise criteria that ASHRAE represents, and there is no specific guide line for application. According to the previous study, there are some problems like that even though the sound level of sound source is same, the NC shows different values, which makes the noise rating confused. This problem is caused by the frequency characteristics of sound source and its sound level. Therefore, appropriate evaluation method should be considered based on the subjective responses. This study aims to analyze the physical parameters appropriate for the evaluation of HVAC diffuser noise. To achieve this, recording of sound sources, calculation of physical parameters and psycho-acoustic experiment were carried out and the results were derived from the correlation analysis between physical parameters and subjective evaluatio

This paper deals with the analysis of interior noise and low frequency noise characteristic for the Busan citizens to use public transport, Busan Metro Line 3. The interior noise evaluation index, articulation index(AI) is evaluated the lower value about average 22 % in a whole range, this is difficult to have a conversation. Also, noise criteria(NC) curve is partially evaluated as NC-65 below 2000 Hz, space type is evaluated as factories. Another of interior noise evaluation index, preferred speech interference level(PSIL) is evaluated the upper value about average 66 dB(A) in a whole range, this is evaluated to be interrupted. In the case of low frequency noise(20~200 Hz), the measurement of low frequency noise is assessed largely beyond noise criteria of ISO 226. The low frequency noise should be reduced because low frequency noise affects on psychological stress and displeasure although low frequency noise is not recognized by auditory sense. The low frequency noise criteria and guideline will be enacted from now on in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the appropriate evaluation method for the water supply and drain noise of bathroom in apartment and to propose some fundamental idea on its regulation. For this reason, it was studied the acoustical characteristics of water supply and drain noise as modifying the water supply pressure for the washbasins and toilet stools and suggested the optimum evaluation method through psychoacoustic test. As a result of investigation of the levels by evaluating the adjectives and noise sources with 7-step criteria corresponding to each level of plumbing noises and analysis of the correlation between physical evaluation values by comparing the criteria, dB(A), N, and NC, with subject's response, determination coefficient($R^2$) was shown to be relatively fair or higher ranged from 0.65 to 0.92. It is shown that 'Harsh', 'Nervous', 'Unpleasant', 'Distasteful', and 'Repellent' as a second factor are to be appropriate to evaluate plumbing noise. Above these results could be used in basic data establishing KS(Korean Standard) for evaluation and rating procedure and measures reducing these noise.

The speed of train has rapidly been increased in accordance with the developed railway technology. Nowadays, high-speed trains were introduced which has the speed faster than 400 km/h. In Korea, a lots of efforts were undertaken to increase the speed of train faster than 350 km/h, however noise and vibration are still the main problems to solve for realization of the high-speed train. In the case of operation speed faster than 350 km/h, it can be easily presumed that the noise and vibration damages could be increased in the train stations which are close to the passing railway tracks. Thus, the noise in the five different types of high-speed train stations were analyzed including stations built on the ground, underground, under rail, and two types on rail. The present paper predicts noises inside the stations depending on the speed of the passing trains and analyze the noise comparing with noise criteria (NC). Sound insulation performance of each part of buildings was calculated using the transmission noise formula and computer modeling, Finally, a series of processes were introduced to satisfy the aural environment with the optimum interior noise criteria by changing interior finishing materials.

This study aims to propose appropriate evaluating method of noise emission from water supply and drain installations in apartment bathroom. The measurement procedure of water installations noise in apartment bathroom were established, so it is necessary to provide the evaluating method and criteria to improve the sound insulation performance of the apartment and to reduce the apartment dweller's unsatisfaction with the noise. Thus, this study reviewed the standards and evaluating methods about the water supply and drain installations noise of many other country. After measuring the noise emission from the installations in many apartment bathroom, The noise were evaluated dB(A), N, NC index, To induce the appropriate method, the coefficient of the correlation among the evaluated numbers were analyzed. As a result, the dB(A) method is most easy to evaluating and very high correlated with N and N index, So the dB(A) method is suitable to be adopted KS evaluating procedure of noise emission from water installations in apartment bathroom.

The system air conditioner has an outdoor unit and a number of indoor units, which connected by several long pipes. In comparison with building HAVC system, the system air conditioner doesn't need lots of facilities, such as control of room, cooling tower, etc. At the beginning stage for the market of the system air conditioner, its main application was a school which size is small to use the building HAVC and large to use home air conditioning system, such as PAC (package air conditioner), RAC (room air conditioner). Therefore, because of the advantages of the system air conditioner mentioned above, the market is expanded rapidly. Since it is difficult to evaluate the noise caused by the system air conditioner because it has to be implemented before the finish of construction, the prediction or estimation of the noise by using CAE technology should be very important. In this research, using a commercial code, RAYNOISE, the noise is estimated to improve the design of building.
