The effects of the additional visual and auditory stimuli on the loudness evaluation of road traffic noise was investigated by the method of magnitude estimation. As a result, it was shown that additional visual stimulus of noise barrier can influence on the loudness perception of road traffic noise. Also, additional auditory stimuli such as green music or sound of flowing water can influence on the loudness perception of road traffic noise, approximately 5~10% lower than the absence of stimuli. But this effect was disappeared in the range of over 65dB(A).

고속도로 교통 소음 저감을 위해 상용소음예측프로그램인 SoundPLAN과 소음예측 시 주로 사용하는 도로 교통 소음예측식인 RLS-90을 이용하여 경제적이고 효율적인 방음대책 설계방안에 대한 연구를 하였다. 대상지역에서 측정한 실제 소음도와 예측 소음도의 차이를 비교하여 모델을 검증하고 장래교통량에 대하여 소음을 예측하여 방음대책을 설계하였다. 방음벽의 높이와 길이, 저소음 포장의 길이를 조절하고 저소음 포장과 방음벽을 혼용했을 경우에 대하여 소음규제 기준에 적합하게 설계하였고 각각의 설치 단가를 이용하여 경제성을 비교하여 보다 효율적인 방음대책을 알아보았다.

This paper presents some advanced and supplemental methods to enhance the accuracy In case of calculating geometric divergence attenuation, attenuation by multiple screening structures, ground attenuation at unflat surfaces of sound during propagation outdoors by the methods specified in ISO 9613-2. Moreover, a calculation method for considering short-term wind effect, specified in ASJ Model-1998, is also introduced. To verity the accuracy of adopted methods, we have carried out highway traffic noise prediction and measurement at tile twelve locations appearing representative road shapes and structures, such as flat, retained cut, elevated, barrier-constructed roads. From the results, we have confirmed the predicted results show good correspondence with the measured at direct, diffracted and reflected sound fields within 30 m from the center of near side lane.

생산 현장의 진동환경은 부품생산활동과 관련된 공정변수중 대표적인 것으로 기계 부품 생산의 품질 및 생산품의 불량률에 큰 영향을 미치며 또한 주변으로 전파된 진동은 우수한 진동환경을 요하는 다른 생산장비에 나쁜 영향을 미치기도 한다. 본 연구의 대상은 공장의 이전으로 인한 환경변화에 의해 발생한 타공형 방음벽 생산 프레스의 진동을 제어하기 위해 바닥의 진동가속도 레벨을 측정하고 DIN 5140에 제시된 기준에 적합하도록 방진 시스템을 설계하였으며 그 결과 방진전과 비교하여 약 20 ㏈ 가량의 바닥 진동 가속도 레벨이 감소하였다.

Vehicles experience the impact due to harsh road conditions. Contact with a barrier on a road induces vehicles to vibrate, which brings about an impact sound. The attenuation of the impact sound is an important issue since passengers may complain about the impact noise. However, the perfect removal of impact noise is not possible as most of impact noise is caused by external conditions. It is thus necessary to make vehicles to possess more desirable sound quality characteristic of impact sound. More research is needed on objective attributes of impact sound; it is not a simple matter since impact noise is transient in nature and has a high level of sound at an instantaneous moment. A new objective attribute of impact noise is designed by using wavelet transform. Wavelet transform is appropriate for the analysis of transient signals such as impact noise. The usefulness of new objective attribute, which is a sound metric, is examined by comparison with the mean subjective rating for real impact noise of passenger cars. The new sound metric has better correlation with the mean subjective rating than already existing sound metrics

The purpose of this study is to analyze the optimal mix design of the sound absorption material that is made from perlite and various binder systems for noise barrier wall. The polymer cement slurry which is made from two types of polymer dispersions, and silicone type inorganic material are used as binder. The test specimens are prepared with various polymer cement ratios, binder ratios, and tested for strengths, freezing and thawing and sound absorption performance by the tube and the reverberation room methods. From the test results, the difference of sound absorption coefficient by the tube method is a little recognized, however, noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of test specimens bound by the polymer cement slurry is in the ranges of 0.48 to 0.51. They are a little higher than those bound by cement only, and are lower values than recommended value of 0.7 by the Ministry of Environment. However, the sound absorption coefficient of test specimens at low frequency range of 250 to 500 Hz by reverberation room method shows very high values as 0.84 to 1.00, and 0.57 to 0.77 at the high frequency. The test specimens with polymer cement slurry binder have a good balance between performance and cost, and have proper properties in strengths, freezing and thawing resistance as sound absorption material for noise barrier wall. It is apparent that the good sound absorption material can be produced according to the optimum mix design that is recommended from this study.

Sound intensity techniques and ODS(Operational Deflection Shape) techniques are applied to identify the acoustic noise source of a hard disk drive and its control system. The sound intensity is used to visualize the noise source locations, and the ODS information to visualize the vibration pattern and to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the noise sources. The measurement systems are customized to accurately measure the sound intensity and ODS distributions of HDD system in space domains as well as frequency domains. The measurement systems for the sound absorption and transmission loss of materials are also used to support the background data for the efficient noise control. Using the visual information of source locations and its dynamic characteristics, the partial noise barrier structure and optimum absorption are designed and its controlled sound power level is proved to be under 3.1 Bel(Idle)/3.3Bel (Seek) which is the lowest level in the disk drive industry.

In this study the sound field on the surface of the top edge of noise barriers is actively minimized to enhance the shielding effect without increasing the hight of the barrier. First the results of a numerical study are shown; the sound field reduction in the far field due to a cylindrical active headpiece attached to a semi-infinite screen and the related control parameters are investigated. The results of a model experiment in an anechoic chamber and optimal control parameters for noise control on the railway side are shown and discussed.

We measured the transport properties of$ YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ ramp-edge junction fabricated with interface-engineered barrier. The current-voltage characteristics show a typical resistively-shunted junction like behavior Voltage noise measurement revealed that the main source of the 1/f noise is the critical current and resistance fluctuations. The analysis of the noise data showed that the critical current fluctuations increase with temperature, whereas the resistance fluctuations are almost constant, and both fluctuations are almost correlated. The smaller magnitude of the critical current and resistance fluctuations seems to result from the columnar-deflects.s.
