When a hearing aid' s user is listening through telephone or cellular phone, he/she usually suffers from severe electrical magnetic interference noise. It is because hearing aids amplify voice signal as well as background noise. A telecoil, an induction coil, is a possible solution for the problem. Because a telecoil has the characteristic of high pass filter, it has some problem of resulting increased high frequency noise. For solving this problem, we can use a capacitor connected with the telecoil in parallel. According to capacitance, receiving signal quality may change. In this paper, proper capacitor values for the best sound quality are investigated by experimental work.

The problem of brake judder is typically caused by quality defects in manufacturing. This quality problem, however, can't be controlled deterministically and requires analyses and designs considering uncertainties. This paper presents a method for dynamic analysis of a brake judder considering uncertainties. Firstly, quality defects, which come from the uncertainties, are determined by examination of symptoms of the brake judder quality problem. Effective quality defects are selected by investigation of process capability and comparison of sensitivity of each quality defects and noise levels of the effective quality defects are determined. Secondly, flexible multibody dynamic analysis and finite element analysis according to the proposed method are carried out. Finally, The analysis results are compared with the test results with noise levels of the effective quality defects.

Apartment and large residence buildings are necessary to ensure a comfortable noise/vibration environment. So. it must be performed a anti-vibration/noise evaluation at early design stage, such as utility room arrangement, machinery installation method and so on. In this paper. environment noise status on problem areas, which was issued by resident. was investigated to understand the noise transmission property generated from underground machinery room and to device a optimized countermeasure in order to enhance noise environment. Also, the measured noise levels before and after modification works are compared to confirm the effectiveness of proposed countermeasure.

Aircraft noise is a serious problem to inhabitants near airports. INM is one of programs for determining the predicted noise impact in the vicinity of airports. It has been widely used for engineers to evaluate aircraft noise. However it is difficult to predict aircraft noise in case of lack of exact INM input data. The exact informations about a fighter plane are not known well for a security problem. This study presents methods of reducing errors between measurement and simulation when the exact INM input data is not known. Especially we adjusted the thrust force of aircraft engine and reduced the error.

In order to deal with the filtering delay problem of least mean square adaptive filter noise reduction algorithm and music noise problem of spectral subtraction algorithm during the speech signal processing, we combine these two algorithms and propose one novel noise reduction method, showing a strong performance on par or even better than state of the art methods. We first use the least mean square algorithm to reduce the average intensity of noise, and then add spectral subtraction algorithm to reduce remaining noise again. Experiments prove that using the spectral subtraction again after the least mean square adaptive filter algorithm overcomes shortcomings which come from the former two algorithms. Also the novel method increases the signal-to-noise ratio of original speech data and improves the final noise reduction performance.

This paper presents a speaker identification technique which is one of the basic techniques of the ubiquitous robot companion. Though the conventional mel-frequency cepstral coefficients guarantee high performance of speaker identification in clean condition, the performance is degraded dramatically in noise condition. To overcome this problem, we employed the relative autocorrelation sequence mel-frequency cepstral coefficient which is one of the noise robust features. However, there are two problems in relative autocorrelation sequence mel-frequency cepstral coefficient: 1) the limited information problem. 2) the residual noise problem. In this paper, to deal with these drawbacks, we propose a multi-streaming method for the limited information problem and a hybrid method for the residual noise problem. To evaluate proposed methods, noisy speech is used in which air conditioner noise, classic music, and vacuum noise are artificially added. Through experiments, proposed methods provide better performance of speaker identification than the conventional methods.

The paper deals with the countermeasure against structure-borne noise source and noise reduction of drainage pipes. Recently, the problem the problem of the toilet drain noise of an apartment house has been become the center of public interest and a target of public grievance. Generally, the drain noise of a toilet in the apartment house has a pink noise characteristics below 2 kHz level, and therefore, the structure-borne noise has a great effect on the entire drain noise. In order to measure the transmission loss for various kinds of pipes such as PVC pipes, cast-iron pipes and newly developed AS pipes, experimental setup containing speakers as a sound source was designed and manufactured. The second-stories measurement room with a small size anechoic chamber was constructed and the noise level for different kinds of drainage pipes was measured by the sound level meter. Through the experimental research in the study, noise reduction capacity for various kinds of drainage pipes and countermeasures against structure-borne noise source are demonstrated.

In this paper, various methods to improve the planetary gear noise in vehicles were introduced. Those cases of improvement have been used as good guidelines and references to prevent planetary noise problems. In this research, different types of planetary gear systems were also analyzed. The consequences of those analysis said in common that the planetary gear set generating noise mainly is the one which takes power directly from the turbine. Furthermore, a frequency versus vibration level map was introduced to judge how to solve the noise problem quickly in a vehicle development process. Besides, it is provided a predicting method which planetary gear set most contributes to noise problem taking in the vehicle and how to design the planetary gear set robustly.

Experimental approach was investigated to improve gear rattle noise of a small car. During the development of a small car serious problem occurred inside the transmission gear units. The transmission was a carried over system from a less powered predecessor. Several components of suspicion were investigated, and applied to reduce rattle noise. In general, backlash, the assembly gaps, and the clutch disk rattle induce gear rattle noise. Above mentioned improvements were applied to reduce the noise, but still problem remained. Meanwhile, the temperature inside the gearbox was reported to be unusually high and the life of transmission oil quality deteriorated drastically, Temperature increment caused the large gap between the bearing outer diameter and the transmission housing. Large gap made the gear shaft assembly move intermittently and impact each other. The tighter control of the assembly gap allowed the rotating shafts smoothly and reduced the gear rattle noise even in the high temperature range.
