The purpose of this study is to analysis the noise characteristics about noise type, sound level, and noise occurrence frequency of living noise in residential buildings. The field measurement was conducted to classify the types of living noise and to examine the actual states of noise occurrence for each living noise source. Among the 24 types of living noise, 10 noise sources were selected based on the loudness and frequency of each living noise. The result indicated that 10 noise sources show the difference on each noise occurrence characteristic by time zones. Therefore, to reduce noise, a management plan should be introduced based on the actual state of the noise occurrence, considering the individual noise source and the time slot during noise frequently occurs. Moreover, the noise standard for each noise types of living noise should be specificated and the education for residents about characteristics of living noise types should be conducted to improve the consciousness of residents.

The global warming caused the changes of our environment like an increasing tropical night phenomenon in the middle latitude areas. Especially, in Korea, the habitats of tropical Korean blockish cicada have changed from Jeju island located in Southern part of Korea to the whole of Korea because of the increasingly warming weather. The cicadas crying sound have been social problem because the tropical Korean blockish cicadas cry at middle of the night owing to the various outdoor lights. The cicada is positive phototaxis insect. So, the cicada is not cry at night. But if the outdoor light is very bright, then the cicada confuse the night as a day and start to cry. As a result, the cicadas crying noise has caused the resident living in downtown to an unpleasure and sleeplessness. In this research, we have measured three kinds of cicada singing noise at 16 points of urban area(Incheon, Gwangju, Busan, Gyeonggido Anyang). And then we analyzed the sound quality of the three kinds of cicada singing noise using by CADA-X signal process program. And we analyzed the acoustical characteristics by STFT(short time Fourier transform) which is a time-frequency analysis method. The characteristics of the cicada singing noise in terms of the sound quality and the time-frequency variation will be usefull to discover the relations between the human annoyance about the cicada singing noise and the acoustical characteristics.

In this paper, aerodynamic noise characteristics of high-speed trains were deduced from the beamforming method. First, pass-by noise of high-speed trains was measured by a microphone array system. This measurement suggested that the majority of the aerodynamic noise produced came from the bogie area, the pantograph and its cover, and inter-coach gaps. Then, beampower outputs of a position in high-speed trains were obtained from the beamforming method. By Fourier transform, sound characteristics of the position in the frequency domain were deduced from the beamforming power spectrum. From this study, aerodynamic noise characteristics from the major sources of high-speed trains were drawn.

A low-noise phase-locked loop(PLL) with three negative feedback loops has been proposed. It is not easy to improve noise characteristics with a conventional PLL. The added negative feedback loops reduce the input voltage magnitude of voltage controlled oscillator which determines the jitter characteristics, enabling the improvement of noise characteristics. Simulation results show that the jitter characteristics are improved as a negative feedback loop is added. In the case of power consumption, it slightly rises by about 10%, but jitter characteristics are improved by about two times. The proposed PLL was simulated with Hspice using a 1.8V 180nm CMOS process.

Vibration originated from the fuel pump is transmitted to the fuel pump module and fuel tank. Fuel tank transmits it to chassis of vehicle. Also, noise perturbed through fuel and fuel tank is radiated out. Dynamic characteristics of fuel tank are composed of tank structure and containing fuel quantity. Therefore, this study is focused at fuel tank with various quantity. As a result, characteristics of vibration for various fuel quantity in a tank are identified as the more mass of fuel is, the less the 1st resonance frequency decrease. Also, between acoustic camera and mode shape of modal analysis are used for searching the positions of radiated noise and are found to be in accordance with each other.

We study the characteristics of airflow and sound noise induced by disk rotation in optical disk drives. The characteristics of airflow around a rotating disk surrounded by various tray structures are numerically investigated using a commercial CFD program and then compared with experimental results. Sound pressure and intensity caused by the fluid-structure interactions in the CD/DVD-ROM drive are measured, and the effect of the ariflow on the sound noise and disk vibration is discussed. In order to reduce airflow-induced noise and vibration around the rotating disk, tray geometry is modified. Both numerical and experimental studies implemented with different tray models show that the improved tray model alters the characteristics of the disk-induced airflow, causing the reduction of the airflow-induced sound level.

Experimental studies have been carried out to find out the characteristics of the heat transfer, combustion emission and noise in the boilers without any extra firing zone for complete combustion of fuel. For the experiments a burner of premixed type and some heat exchangers were designed and manufactured. Also test facilities including a data acquisition system and various measuring devices were set up in order to measure automatically the various temperatures and flow rates of water and combustion gas. Various experiments were performed to find out the heat transfer characteristics as well as combustion emission and noise. In general, the burner which has uniform holes in the burner nozzle plate generates big combustion noise . whistling. The noise reduction method is discussed in this study. Many experimental data such as noise level, the amount of pollutant emission and heat transfer rate for different combination of heat exchangers are given as comparison bases for numerical studies.

The cross-flow fan performance and its sound noise characteristics are predicted by computational methods. The unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in moving coordinates are solved by a SMAC method on unstructured triangular meshes, using a sliding mesh technique at the interface between the domain rotating with blades and the rest stationary part. The computationally predicted fan performance was favorably compared with experiment, and some numerical aspects of simulating the cross-flow fan are discussed. With the computed unsteady flow field, aeroacoustic sound noise of the fan is predicted by the Lighthill-Curie equation. The unsteady surface pressure fluctuations on stabilizer enables a prediction of BPF noise of the uniform pitch blade fan quite accurately. The aeroacoustic sound noise characteristics of both uniform and random pitch blade fans are also examined by SPL spectrum analysis.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive system provides a good adjustable speed and torque characteristics. SRM has the possibility of maintaining full power over a wide speed range. So, many attempts are being done from home appliances to industrial machinery and tools. Especially, the traction drive of SRM is one of a good application due to it's torque characteristics. However, because of the switching mechanism, it has some disadvantage of noise and vibration. It is difficult to adopt to an appliance demanding silence. A noise simulations and test of 3-phase 6/4, 6/8 and 12/8 SRM were done in other to compare each other. The test results show that 12/8 SRM has good noise characteristics.
